How German life science manufacturers set up their production environment

As a life science manufacturer, if you want to produce high quality medicines on consistent basis, you have to have well-defined process in place for how you define and set up machine parameters in order to produce them. This process includes all necessary steps for preparation on production, from creation of recipe parameter lists and their approval, to download to …

7 Key Criteria to Consider When Choosing a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

One of the important steps towards increasing productivity and reducing production costs is the implementation of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). With it, manufacturing companies achieve numerous important benefits, such as real-time transparency of production processes, efficient production planning, reduction of downtimes, traceability of production resources and events, greater flexibility of production to adapt to changing requirements, fewer (human) errors, …

How regulations and standards affect pharmaceutical manufacturing processes

Pharmaceutical manufacturers must achieve high standards to ensure the strength of the active ingredients, quality, and purity of the final products. These standards are enforced by regulatory authorities to ensure safe and effective products for patients. The controls and checks are far more stringent than even the food industry because minute changes in the recipe can have serious consequences for …
