In a passionate retrospective of a successful career built on thinking statistically and applying that approach to quality in pharmaceutical manufacturing, Lynn Torbeck has created a "must-read" for anyone involved in product development, formulation, manufacturing and quality.
Each of the 45 chapters in this book addresses a specific aspect of applied statistics and provides pragmatic applications on such topics as:
- Can we save the Technical Conference?
- %RSD friend, Foe or Faux?
- OOS, OOT, OOC and OOSC
- Can AQLbe Zero?
- Outlier Management
- Why 5%?
- Design Space Circa 1987
- Quality by Design Circa 1982
- Training Scores
Because this book is not organized in a linear fashion, Torbeck encourages readers to dip into any chapter that is of interest. This book is not a statistics text per se; however, it shares the author's passion and decades of experience for statistics applied to pharmaceutical quality by showing how they can be used in real-world pharmaceutical quality problems.
