Quality by Design: Using Advanced Process Control and Online Optimization to Improve Product Quality (60 min)
Diving deeper into the impact, importance, and benefits of real-time monitoring, control, and analysis of components and processes
Reduced Validation Time Through Simulation Technologies (60 min)
Learn how simulation technologies can reduce the time to market, assist with complex controls qualification, predict process behavioral changes prior to implementation, and increase operator training effectiveness
Achieving Improved Quality and Uptime Through a Mobile Workforce (60 min)
Outfitting operators, maintenance personnel, and engineers with the tools to capture remote data electronically can have a significant impact on data quality, timeliness, and reliability
Overall Equipment Effectiveness in Life Sciences (60 min)
Continuous Improvement strategies not only use OEE data to determine root causes of downtime and quality issues, they also leverage OEE, often to gain insight into hidden inefficiencies and uncover opportunity costs.

Quality by Design: Using Advanced Process Control and Online Optimization to Improve Product Quality
Presenters: Jonathon Thompson and Larry Balcom
The singular goal of Quality by Design (QbD) is to ensure final product quality. In accordance with the principle that quality cannot be tested, but it is instead infused via proper process design, QbD is essentially real-time monitoring, control, and analysis of all components and processes.
This presentation will cover:
- How to achieve economic benefit from your PAT investment
- How to develop a validated solution for improved quality and reduced cycle time
- Steps to get to continuous On-Aim process performance
- Why use enablers (and which enablers to use) for real-time product release
- Understand and manage critical-to-quality (CTQ) process variables
Reduced Validation Time Through Simulation Technologies
Presenters: Tania Simoncelli and Ganesh Venkataramanan
As the life sciences industry moves toward more complex biologic synthesis and more efficient manufacturing, advanced simulation becomes critical to operational excellence. Simulation technologies can accelerate time to market, assist with complex controls qualification, predict process behavioral changes prior to implementation, and increase the effectiveness of operator training.
This presentation will cover:
- Facilitating scale-up to reduce new-product time to market
- Supporting complex controls qualification
- Assisting change control by forecasting process behavioral changes before implementation
- Increasing operator training effectiveness
- Testing design strategies
Achieving Improved Quality and Uptime Through a Mobile Workforce
Presenters: Jonathon Thompson and Charlie Mohrmann
Recently, a number of new electronic solutions for remote data capture have made remote operations less reliant on paper data. Outfitting mobile operators, maintenance personnel, and engineers with the tools to capture remote data electronically can have a significant impact on the quality, timeliness, and reliability of such data.
This presentation will cover:
- Reducing downtime due to planned and unplanned maintenance activities
- Achieving fewer deviations and more reliable data
- Performing faster turnaround of quality documentation
Overall Equipment Effectiveness in Life Sciences
Presenters: Leonard Smyth and Brad Krock
Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) metrics are widely used to provide comparable, normalized views of production performance data across the enterprise. In life sciences industries, OEE metrics help companies improve asset utilization and increase profit margin contribution in batching, manufacturing, further processing, and packaging environments.
This presentation will cover:
- Utilizing OEE in continuous improvement strategies
- Determining root causes of downtime and quality issues
- Gaining insight into hidden inefficiencies
- Uncovering opportunity costs
- Making production performance visible in real time
- Leveraging enterprise production operations for competitive advantage
