Download or read book Kaizen for Pharmaceutical Medical Device and Biotech Industries written by Shruti Bhat and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaizen procedures evolved in the automobile industry. Therefore, most of Kaizen literature, publications, books, cite Kaizen implementation in factories such as Toyota, Ford, Mazda and the like. But work practices within pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech industry are different from the auto sector. Regulations, customer demands, competitor landscape, product criteria, facility and environmental needs as well as employee skills within pharmaceutical (medical devices and biotech) companies are extremely stringent and totally different from the automobile industry. Therefore, 'as is' Kaizen practices from auto sector won't work for pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech organizations. Kaizen needs to be customized for these life science industries, to achieve its full benefits. So far, there has been no book on Kaizen that is customized for such industries.For over a decade, the author, Dr. Shruti Bhat has successfully completed more than 250 Kaizen, Lean Six Sigma and other continuous improvement projects worldwide within pharmaceuticals NHP, medical devices, biotech and healthcare sectors, and felt it will be beneficial to share those techniques and experiences.Some salient features of this book:* This book presents useful ideas that one can implement immediately, often at no additional cost. * It shows how to transform a business from 'good- to- great'. True benefits of Kaizen implementation are realized because it adds value to your products, increases market share, and drives both top and bottom lines of your business. * It shows pharmaceutical & biotech scientists, design engineers, operators and everyone involved in product development, how to utilize Kaizen- to create innovations, conduct successful scale-up and technology transfer to manufacturing sites.* It shows the company's senior management, how to use Kaizen to increase ROI (return on investment) while complying with cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) and other regulations, address any rising competition and counteract fluctuating market economy. * Kaizen has mainly been used in Japan and many other SE Asian companies and in Europe. Up until now, it has not gained enough significance in North America, because of which it has not been utilized to its full potential. The root cause is the difference in work culture and corporate governance styles of companies in eastern and western countries; this book totally eliminates this gap and presents Kaizen methodology for direct implementation within any pharmaceutical, medical device or biotech company; in east or west.* This book can also be an excellent resource for Kaizen beginners with a lot of real life industry examples, case studies and several 'do-it-yourself' exercises, which is of tremendous value, in absence of a Kaizen coach.In addition to explaining all the general Kaizen process features, implementation, and application, this book also provides a structured approach to designing Kaizen strategies, practices and implementation for pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech companies. This book will be most applicable to small to medium-size companies. It will demystify Kaizen and help business leaders in pharmaceutical, medical device, biotech and all life sciences organizations, irrespective of their size or workplace culture. It will also provide practical and useful examples and case studies of Kaizen principles that can be executed at various levels across the organization as well as for yourself as an individual to further your personal career. And last but not the least, it will help to improve revenues and create a lasting profitable change by using Kaizen principles and techniques.

Download or read book Quality Operations Procedures for Pharmaceutical API and Biotechnology written by Syed Imtiaz Haider and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To stay in compliance with regulations, pharmaceutical, medical, and biotech companies must create qualtiy SOPs that build in the regulatory requirements into actions and describe personal flow, internal flow, flow of information, and processing steps. Quality Operations Procedures for Pharmaceutical, API, and Biotechnology and the accompanying CD-ROM take into account all major international regulations, such as FDA, EU GMP, cGMP, GLP, PDA technical monographs, PDA technical reports, PMA concepts, journals of PDA, GCP, and industry standard ISO 9000, to be in compliance with documentation guidelines. No other resource deals exclusively with the key elements of quality control and quality assurance procedures for pharmaceutical operations and provides hands-on templates to be tailored to achieve global regulatory compliance. The book provides instant answers about what to include in critical quality assurance and quality control SOPs and how to enhance productivity. The CD-ROM contains nineteen quality control and thirty-three quality assurance SOPs designed so that users can input them into their computers and use their Microsoft Word programs to edit and print these documents. The book ensures minimization of the number of documents, helping to reduce the nightmare-like aura that surrounds an FDA audit. The SOPs exclusively refer to the documents specially required for compliance; however, specific formats are not included to ensure that the electronic templates can be easily used by pharmaceutical, bulk pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology industries. The combination of text and CD-ROM presents a ready-to-use resource on the quality systems of aseptic pharmaceutical non-aseptic production and to provide general information and guidelines. They comprise a tool that can be used to develop a set of quality SOPs in order to support the road map established for the on-time successful start-up of the facility operation in compliance with the GMP requirements.

Download or read book Lean Biomanufacturing written by Nigel J Smart and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With decreasing profit margins, increasing cost pressures, growing regulatory compliance concerns, mounting pressure from generic drugs and increasing anxiety about the future of healthcare reimbursement, pharmaceutical manufacturers are now forced to re-examine and re-assess the way they have been doing things. In order to sustain profitability, these companies are looking to reduce waste (of all kinds), improve efficiency and increase productivity. Many of them are taking a closer look at lean manufacturing as a way to achieve these goals. Lean biomanufacturing re-visits lean principles and then applies them sympathetically - in a highly practical approach - to the specific needs of pharmaceutical processes, which present significantly different challenges to more mainstream manufacturing processes. A major goal of the book is to highlight those problems and issues that appear more specific or unique to biopharmaceutical manufacturing situations and to provide some insights into what challenges are the important ones to solve and what techniques, tools and mechanisms to employ to be successful.Following an introduction to lean biomanufacturing, the book goes on to discuss lean technologies and methods applied in biomanufacturing. Later chapters cover the creation and implementation of the Transition Plan, issues facing the biopharmaceutical industry, creating a lean approach towards biopharmaceutical processes and the contribution of simulation models in developing these processes. The final chapter covers examples of new technology innovations which help facilitate lean biomanufacturing. A focus on the issues associated with the application of lean principles to biomanufacturing Practical examples of factors which can affect biopharmaceutical processes Coverage of key factors which require integration to run an efficient biopharmaceutical process
