The document discusses Process Analytical Technology (PAT), which uses modern monitoring and process control tools to understand and control manufacturing processes. PAT aims to understand all sources of variability and ensure quality. Its framework involves process understanding through identifying variability sources and using tools like multivariate data analysis, modern process analyzers like UV/Vis probes, and continuous improvement software. The document outlines how PAT can be applied in mixing processes using probes to monitor solid particle size and liquid properties like turbidity and color. PAT allows for real-time monitoring to decrease production time and assure quality.
