Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Survival in the 21st Century

5 June 2008, London, United Kingdom


Introduction
Ever-increasing cost pressures mean that a number of companies have moved their manufacturing operations to countries with lower
labour costs. It doesn't have to be this way, not if established world-class methodologies are applied to pharmaceutical plants.
Many examples of best practice in other industries may be applied easily to the pharmaceuticals industry. Companies that have
adopted these practices have improved performance significantly.
While regulatory compliance in the UK pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is generally very high, manufacturing efficiency is
often lacking due to high costs, excessive lead times and inventory, inefficient staffing, poor process control and reliability. This
event will offer advice, solutions and best practice for manufacturing pharmaceuticals.
Attending will help you:
• Benefit from lessons of best practice from other manufacturing industries
• Build a competitive edge
• Reduce manufacturing overheads
• Become more efficient
• Apply lean manufacturing principles to your organisation
• Learn about Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and how it can be of great benefit
• Automate your operation as far as possible
• Successfully manage the human factors of manufacturing
• Understand why outsourcing to India or the Far East is not as effective as we might think
• Meet, greet and network with key industry players
• Find collaborators for future projects
