In response to interest from users, JMP R&D has been hard at work implementing new features in the Process Screening platform that enable users to conduct environmental monitoring procedures using a variety of data sources. Applications include areas such as air quality monitoring, surface monitoring, and personnel monitoring, all of which have pharmaceutical applications. Enabling users to screen processes will help to prevent contamination of pharmaceutical products, ensuring that these products are safe for patient use. This feature scales well to data that includes many processes. The resulting report enables users to determine which processes contain data points that trigger various alarms and merit further analysis. In addition to pharmaceutical applications, this feature can be used to screen any process where an alert/action limit approach is appropriate for decision making. Users can specify custom alarm limits.
The purpose of this poster is to illustrate the key steps of the environmental monitoring procedure as it is implemented in JMP. The poster provides details on the screening approach, including explanations of what different screening alarms mean and how they are flagged in the report. In addition, this poster highlights how the approach differs for count, non-negative continuous, and proportional data. It also includes examples of these approaches as they are applied to data and a discussion of results. Examples include simulated cases related to defect screening for component manufacturing and environmental monitoring, among others.
