Details

Food and drinks, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, coatings, personal care and hygiene and the likes- these are all samples of product formulations. People who are into the field of formulation research and development knows the enormous challenges that come with this type of work. But there is a tool available that can significantly help manage these challenges and allow the formulators to navigate through the complex pathway facing them. This tool is called Design of Experiments.
Design of Experiment (DOE) is a body of knowledge that lays down the principles on how experimentation can be done properly and economically as well as how the experimental results could be analyzed correctly and effectively. The main benefit of using DOE to develop formulations is that it allows all potential inputs (also called components or factors) to be evaluated simultaneously, systematically, and quickly against the conventional approach of dealing with such inputs one-at-a-time. With DOE, one can evaluate the effect of each formulation input (and the synergistic or antagonistic effects between these inputs) on each formulation characteristic or output of concern and identify the critical factors. Identified critical inputs and factors then paves the way for proper improvement and optimization of formulation for which DOE also gives a corresponding methodology. The manufacturing process for the formulation also can be developed and optimized in the same manner. This systematic approach using DOE also enables the business organization to do efficient scale-up and process validation because of the robustness of both the formulation and manufacturing process. Overall, the application of DOE to the formulation development and optimization process has enabled a lot of organizations to save on development cost and time while taking a faster route to improving their product formulation performance and achieving the formulation’s targeted capabilities.   
The session will be conducted by a mix of actual experimentation activities, team-based learning workshops and discussions. The ‘learning-by-doing philosophy’ is embodied in the design of this course. As such the session will be strictly limited to 12 participants only. This is to ensure a high engagement level and interaction between the Mentors/Facilitators and the participants.

Who Should Attend
Research and Development Leaders, Personnel, Product Developers, Product Engineers, Process Developers, Quality Assurance Managers and others who are directly responsible or indirectly accountable for developing and improving their organization’s product formulation and processes. Participants will have to bring their own laptops for the DOE software. Installation instructions for the trial version of the software will be provided as this will be used throughout the learning session duration.

HOW TO RESERVE A SLOT OR FOR FURTHTER QUESTIONS
Due to the limited slots and for better preparation and planning, reserving a seat for the training and learning session will be required. You can email [email protected] should you want to reserve a slot. Simlarly you can email to the same address should you have other questions and clarifications about the training.
