The Analytical Pharma Organization: Going Beyond Pockets of Activity   _________________________________________________________ 
 
The topic of analytics as a performance lever for continuous improvement seems both obvious and odd. Anyone who has been involved in operational excellence, Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kepner-Tregoe, or other problem-solving techniques knows the value of measurement as a tool for improvement.

Frightening Phrases and Warning Letter Language to Watch   _________________________________________________________ 
 
There's no doubt that the FDA is flexing its enforcement muscle these days. That's apparent in its talk about executive prosecutions, and in recent consent decrees. And to back up its "we mean business" posture, the FDA has tightened inspection-to-warning time, halved the time allowed for manufacturers to respond to warnings, and taken a pass on legal reviews prior to sending warning letters.
