Adsurgo provides training, consulting, and analytical workflow automation.

During a recent What’s New in JMP 18 seminar, the customers kept asking about other new JMP features. These other new features were new, but they were new in JMP 17! JMP updates software so frequently, many customers don’t have time to learn new features of one version before the next version is out. This complementary seminar will benefit those customers that are still using JMP 17 as well as those that have updated to JMP 18.

Data Visualization and Storytelling (1.0 days):

This course will provide principals to effectively communicate your technical results professionally. The methods will allow you to interactively discover deeper relationships graphically more efficiently. We will provide the foundations for creating better graphical information to accelerate the insight discovery process and enhance the understandability of reported results. First principles and the “human as part of the system” aspects of information visualization from multiple leading sources are explored using representative univariate, multivariate, time series, geographic, and unstructured text data sets.

Data Visualization and Storytelling Objectives:

• Understand data visualization principals
• Know the characteristics of data that help guide appropriate visualizations
• Be able to apply a disciplined process for designing good graphics and dashboards

Statistics for FDA Process Validation (3.0 days):

This course focuses on how to establish a systematic approach to implementing statistical methodologies into a process development and validation program consistent with the FDA guidance. This course teaches the application of statistics for setting specifications and assessing measurement systems (assays), using design of experiments (DOE) for process design, establishing a strategy for process qualification, and ensuring process control/capability. All concepts are taught within the three-stage product cycle framework defined by requirements in the process validation regulatory guidance documents.

Statistics for FDA Process Validation Objectives:

• apply statistics to set specifications and validate measurement systems (assays)
• develop appropriate sample plans based upon confidence and power
• implement suitable statistical methods into a process validation program for each stage:

Stage 1 – Process Design
◦ utilize risk management tools to identify and prioritize potential critical process parameters
◦ define critical process parameters and operating spaces for the commercial manufacturing process using design of experiments (DOE).

Stage 2 – Process Qualification
◦ assess scale effects while incorporating large (pilot) scale data
◦ develop process performance qualification (PPQ) acceptance criteria by characterizing intra and inter-batch variability using process design data and batch homogeneity studies
◦ develop an appropriate sampling plan for PPQ.

Stage 3 – Continued Process Verification
