Process Characterization is a late stage process design activity which aims to develop in-depth process understanding so that effective and robust control strategies can be developed for production. It is an important milestone in manufacturing development.
Use of risk assessment and analysis tools to prioritise experimental efforts
Utilize advanced statistical experimental designs (DoE) including factorial and response surfaces to elucidate primary effects and interactions of potential CPP's and CQA's
Employ statistical regression and mathematical modelling to develop process and product design space in line with Quality by Design (QbD) principles
