What’s in The Pipeline For my Pharmaceutical Facility?

The marketplace for the manufacture of generic oral solid dosage (OSD) pharmaceutical products is a crowded and competitive one. How does a new entrant to this sector, or an established manufacturer seeking to grow, outcompete the competition? One way may be to examine your materials handling processes in your pharmaceutical facility. We explain… No compromises In pharmaceutical manufacturing, adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations is of paramount importance. With consumers’ lives potentially at risk if something were to go wrong in the manufacturing process, it is imperative not to compromise on product quality or integrity. But with the production of generic OSDs being characterised by low profit margins and high volume sales, it can be difficult to find a way to make savings to gain a competitive edge over rival producers while maintaining GMP standards. Think LEAN Lean manufacturing is all about eliminating waste with a view to increasing productivity, reducing costs and improving value for customers. With generic drugs and biosimilars, there is little room to cut costs, but one area of saving is to achieve greater production efficiency by looking at the way you handle ingredients.
