Overview

While regulatory compliance in the UK pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is generally very high, manufacturing efficiency is often lacking.

 

Ever-increasing cost pressures mean that a number of companies have moved their manufacturing operations to countries with lower labour costs.

 

However, 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 such as the car and electronic industries, may be easily applied to the pharmaceutical industry, and companies that have done so have seen very significant improvements in their operational effectiveness and efficiency.

 

Key experts from the pharmaceutical industry will provide advice, solutions and best practice to tackle excessive lead times, high inventory, inefficient staffing, poor process control and supply-chain reliability. Benefit from the lessons of best practice, recognise the signs of success and help prevent failure.




Attending this event will help you:

  • Benefit from lessons of best practice to improve operations and quality
  • Apply practical risk reduction techniques to improve operational reliability
  • Reduce manufacturing overheads and improve efficiency
  • Successfully manage the human factors of manufacturing 
  • Learn about Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) and how they can be of great   benefit  
  • Learn principles that help innovate to build a competitive edge
  • Understand how applications of best practice mean that outsourcing to emerging economies such as India may not be the best solution
  • Meet, greet and network with key industry players
  • Find partners for future projects
