Regulatory agencies mandate formal protocols for Performance Qualification (PQ) studies to determine whether products/processes meet the desired requirements. When planning PQ studies, sample size determination is critical to ensure that study results will be meaningful. Methods to determine appropriate sample sizes for various types of problems will be covered.

This 2-day seminar will provide a 12-step process to assist you in writing/reviewing protocols for PQ studies with a focus on sample size justification, acceptance criteria and statistical analysis using Minitab v17. Validation of software will not be covered.

Course Information:

Participants are requested to bring a laptop with Minitab Version 17 software installed.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completing this course participants will be able to:

  • Determine a Representative Sample for Process Qualification (PQ) study.
  • Develop product/process acceptance criteria statements
  • Determine appropriate Sample Size to meet PQ acceptance criteria
  • Understand how to Analyze PQ data
  • Understand how to calculate and interpret statistical tolerance limits
  • Determine and verify the appropriate distribution of the data
  • Interpret probability plots
  • Apply normalizing transformations
  • Handle censored data and mixed failure modes.
Seminar Fee Includes:
Lunch
AM-PM Tea/Coffee
Seminar Material
USB with seminar presentation
Hard copy of presentation
Attendance Certificate
$100 Gift Cert for next seminar
