Cut costs with strong automation design for distribution systems | TechTalk

To take a closer look at the physical model, a basic principle for structuring plant equipment into units is that a unit can never hold more than one batch. For example, if a tank and the distribution loop for a water system are placed in separate units , possibly due to a special system configuration, this means the operation of the two units need to be coordinated. Ultimately, a poor definition of units makes the automation solution more...

Quality strategy for biopharmaceutical manufacturing

Samsung Biologics’s biologics facility, completed in 2013, features a state -of-the-art quality program design by NNE. Then the team initiated the daunting task of performing quality risk assessment (QRA) on all process and utility units . With such a huge amount of units to be assessed, it was imperative to organize it so that time and resources are used in the most optimum way. We thus decided to divide all units into 16 groups according to...

Get closure analysis in pharma manufacturing systems | TechTalk

Understanding the process requires a detailed review of the Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and identification of the key unit operations. What is the process state and requirements? To define the process, you must compare your process unit operations with the definition and define a rating. The “closure rating” is a form of risk assessment which considers the closure scale (CS), bioburden control requirement or process requirement (PR) and...

Data-based road map to continuous control strategy and real-time release | TechTalk

This ideal state is illustrated in Figure 1. Each unit operation is continuously monitored, the quality is predicted and proper action taken if this prediction is bad. Figure 1: For each unit operation PIs that can predict CQA and CPPs that can control PIs shall be found and their relations established. In addition, there can also be systematic factors like production units if parallel processing is done. If observations are outside predictio...
