FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine has used David Vose's consulting services repeatedly over the last several years for providing risk assessment and modeling courses to our scientists, antimicrobial resistance risk assessments, presenting the data and models to the animal pharmaceutical industry and the public, serving as an expert witness in a court case and reviewing other expert witness testimony, and helping the Center develop a scientifically defensible approach to regulating antimicrobials used in food animals considering resistance concerns.  Perhaps most valuable to FDA was David's contribution as leading a team of lawyers and scientists in support of the Center's efforts to remove approval for an antimicrobial used in food animals.  David's unique value in the very broad field of biostatistics and risk assessment is his ability to explain highly technical concepts so that nonscientists can not only understand the issues but engage in interpretative discussions.  FDA honored David with the Commissioner's Special Citation award, the highest award given to persons outside the FDA.

Vose Consulting worked with our group to create a statistical model which optimizes customer parts fill versus financial inventory goals at John Deere Construction and Forestry dealerships. We were able to use the output of the model to design an inventory stocking system which improves the customer experience at our dealerships. Additionally, the model was designed in a way to accommodate future "what if" scenarios as the business environment changes.

I wanted to express my thanks and appreciation for the outstanding training you provided during the Quantitative Risk Analysis course held in Philadelphia. The course material was informative, challenging, and extremely well presented. It was an awesome learning experience for everyone. I have a great appreciation for Vose Consulting, because I honestly believe your organization is hands down the most knowledgeable risk modeling firm in the world. Thank you again.

Introduction to Quantitative Risk Analysis is not just a class, it is an experience. There is a great depth and breadth of knowledge that Dr.Huybert Groenendaal brings to the table, not just in risk analysis, but in business and industry as a whole. The class brought to light and explained fully issues with risk analysis that I previously only suspected or wondered about. I would not hesitate to recommend the class to anybody with a true interest in risk analysis.

Lecture titled:
From Beginning to End: Life in the Probabilistic Risk Analysis Trenches

"Good job. Excellent discussions."

"A gifted teacher."

"Now I see Bayesian."

"I appreciated the further discussion of BMC. [Bayesian Monte Carlo]"

"The opportunity for discussion towards the end was good."
