Excellence in life sciences manufacturing
Effectiveness in resource management requires the linkage of strategic planning, capacity planning, and scheduling and rostering. This is easy to say but incredibly hard to achieve. PA has demonstrated world-class solutions in this arena, delivering 30% improvements on already highly efficient systems.
Compliance requires expertise in regulatory, legal and risk domains, something PA has in abundance. We deliver several pharmaceutical automation projects every year. and most of these projects require compliance to 21CFR11. We also recognise that our clients' needs may differ and so we remain flexible. Our approach has utilised four avenues :
-
focus on predicate records
-
piggyback on existing security
-
develop within a quality system
-
produce a single electronic record of all that has occurred.
PA also has a broad range of services and experience in machine design, which includes:
-
multiple industry experience providing creative solutions through cross-fertilisation
-
on-site tools and processes enabling fast and efficient equipment development
-
engineering, specialised technologists, and applied physicist support
-
process and machine audits
-
process and machine cost reduction projects
-
manufacturing profile assessment
-
management and implementation of new processes
-
development of high-speed, on-line quality control equipment: mechanical, optical and sensing systems.
Supply chain effectiveness
Understanding your future manufacturing capacity demand and determining optimal plant allocation strategy is complicated by the problem of scale-up during drug development. Build too much or too soon and you erode profit; build too little or too late and you fail to realise maximum future profit. PA has a world-leading options modelling capability which allows manufacturers to make informed and sophisticated decisions.
Managing supply chain leakage during distribution is a growing and formidable challenge as re-entry of drugs from access to medicines programmes and counterfeiting take their toll. With our product authentication and supply chain tracking expertise, PA is the ideal partner to support pharmaceutical businesses in defining and implementing business solutions that require the selection and subsequent adoption of new technologies within a heavily regulated environment.
