Quality by Design (QbD) and Production System Fundamental Sigma Limits with a Pharmaceutical Industry Example

Description:: Quality by Design (QbD) has been recognized as a superior manufacturing approach versus attempting to test in quality. Without designing for quality, the level of quality attainment (defect-free product) has been observed to plateau well short of six sigma, and efforts to further improve quality...
