QbD – IV- Knowledge Management & Continuous Improvement  
Chair(s): Gawayne Mahboubian-Jones


This session will clearly define how we need to approach implementation, in theory and in practice. This is essentially systems information. Examples will be shown of current best practice within the industry, as well as academic. In addition, practical examples will be shown of how far we can push the envelope and what benefits we might expect. We will demonstrate how other, closely related industries have adopted, and benefited from this approach.
