Part of session: Continued Process Verification (CPV) - Practices, Challenges and Opportunities
Presentation Title: Enhance Spray Drying CPV using MVDA
Primary presenter: Tiago Porfirio

 

One approach to enhancing Continued process verification (CPV) is through the use of multivariate data analysis (MVDA), which allows for the identification of correlations and patterns between process parameters and product quality attributes. MVDA involves the analysis of multiple variables simultaneously, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the process and its impact on product quality. By analyzing data from multiple sources, including automated control systems and quality control testing, MVDA can help identify the critical process parameters (CPPs) and critical quality attributes (CQAs) that are most strongly correlated with product quality. This approach can significantly improve process efficiency and product quality while reducing the risk of product failure, reprocessing and rework. Moreover, MVDA provide insights into potential causes for process deviations, facilitating the development of corrective actions. This proactive approach to CPV helps to ensure that the process remains within established control limits, minimizing the risk of non-compliance. This work will show how the integration of MVDA into CPV in a spray drying process can significantly enhance process control and product quality by leveraging multivariate data analysis.
