Process Automation, Analytics Working Group

Charter

The Process Automation, Analytics and Development (PAAD) Working Group is a sub-committee of the ISCT Process Development & Manufacturing Committee. PAAD works to gather feedback and insights across two focus areas, Process Development and Analytics as well as Automation and Digitization, to ultimately drive consensus and provide guidance as these focus areas develop.
