Throughout 21 CFR and guidance documents for the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and medical device industries, the application of statistical methods are specified for: performing measurement systems analysis (MSA), using design of experiment (DOE) for process development and validation, developing process control charts, and determining process capability indices.
Different statistical methods are required for each of these particular applications. Data and tolerance intervals are common tools used for setting acceptance criteria and specifications. Simple linear regression and analysis-of-covariance (ANCOVA) are used for setting expiries and conducting stability analysis studies. Two-sample hypothesis tests, analysis-of-variance (ANOVA), regression, and ANCOVA are methods used for analyzing designed experiment for process development and validation studies. Descriptive statistics (distribution, summary statistics), run charts, and probability (distributions) are used for developing process control charts and developing process capability indices.
This course provides instruction on how to apply the appropriate statistical approaches: descriptive statistics, data intervals, hypothesis testing, ANOVA, regression, ANCOVA, and model building. Once competence in each of these areas is established, select industry-specific applications are presented for the participants: MSA, DOE, SPC, and process capability.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completing this course participants should be able to:
- Describe and analyze a distribution of data
- Develop summary statistics
- Generate and analyze statistical intervals and hypothesis tests to make data-driven decisions
- Describe the relationship between and among two or more factors or responses
- Understand issues related to sampling and calculate appropriate sample sizes
- Use statistical intervals: confidence, prediction, and tolerance
- Understand how Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) can be to estimate variance associated with: repeatability, intermediate precision, and reproducibility
- Understand how design of experiments (DOE) is used in process development
- Understand what it means for a process to be in (statistical) control and capable

Heath Rushing is the cofounder of Adsurgo and author of the book Design and Analysis of Experiments by Douglas Montgomery: A Supplement for Using JMP. Previously, he was the JMP and Six Sigma training manager at SAS. He led a team of nine technical professionals designing and delivering applied statistics and quality continuing education courses. He has created tailored courses, applications, and long-term training plans in quality and statistics across a variety of industries to include biotech, pharmaceutical, medical device, and chemical processing.
Mr. Rushing has been an invited speaker on applicability of statistics for national and international conferences. As a quality engineer at Amgen, he championed statistical principles in every business unit. He designed and delivered a DOE course that immediately became the company standard required at multiple sites. Additionally, he developed and implemented numerous innovative statistical methods advancing corporate risk management, process capability, and validation acceptance criteria. He won the top teaching award out of 54 instructors in the Air Force Academy math department where he taught several semesters and sections of operations research and statistics. Additionally, he designs and delivers short courses in statistics, data mining, and simulation modeling for SAS.
