Vose Consulting has recently written two new whitepapers that we hope you will find interesting.

• Pharmaceuticals and Medical Products - Risk Analysis Takes a Centre Stage
• Quantitative risk analysis can provide huge value in multiple areas of pharmaceutical and medical products. Learn about some of the risk based approaches available by downloading this whitepaper.

• Improving Cost Estimation with Quantitative Risk Analysis - Be More Precise by Employing Uncertainty
• Most of the parameters used in cost estimation attempt to represent future quantities about which there is great uncertainty. Traditional cost estimation starts with point estimates and then incorporates additional contingency and escalation amounts. Request this paper to read about the advantages of using risk-based cost estimation approaches.

Dr. Huybert Groenendaal, Managing Partner of Vose Consulting US was recently quoted by an editorial in Machine Design Magazine. Huybert`s remarks discuss some of the pitfalls of relying too heavily on historical data in probabilistic modeling as well as the importance of understanding and critically assessing a model`s underlying assumptions.

The article, with Huybert`s comments, is available here
