Quality by design (QbD) is extensively used tool in formulation and development. QbD is a method of choice in product development for robust and quality product incorporating continuous improvement. The objective of the book is to study the implementation of QbD and wide-ranging QbD based product development template for different formulations and analytical procedures. The way QbD is implemented in Pharmaceutical Industry, Academicians/ Institutes are way behind in this competition. The reason being, concepts of QbD are poorly explored byPharma Researchers due to nonexistence of expertise and resources. Researchers tend to adapt moderately the principles of QbD due to inadequate understanding of QbD principles. The use of QbD in formulation development will be advantageous to young researchers and academics.
