Trend Analysis

« Back to Glossary Index

Trend analysis in the context of pharmaceutical manufacturing involves a systematic process of reviewing and interpreting historical data, performance indicators, and quality metrics to identify patterns, trends, and deviations over time. This approach enables the identification of emerging issues, prediction of future outcomes, and facilitation of informed decision-making. By collecting, aggregating, and analysing data from diverse sources, trend analysis helps detect anomalies, correlations, and predictive indicators that could influence product quality, safety, efficacy, or overall business operations. Utilised across quality management, risk assessment, and continuous improvement initiatives, trend analysis is essential for identifying opportunities, mitigating risks, and enhancing the reliability and performance of pharmaceutical products and processes.
