Client: a well-known pharmaceutical multinational, operating in over 150 countries, engaged in the discovery and development of new medicines to provide innovative solutions for patients and doctors.
Sector: Pharmaceuticals
Objective: Qualification and validation of three blister packaging lines to replace five older packaging lines
The company had made significant investments in the production site in order to modernise the technologies of the packaging area in order to strengthen its production capacity.
The company decided to replace five of the older packaginglines by installing three new, modern lines, manufactured in Italy using the most advanced technology available in the sector
Even for such a solid company, replacement of technologies involves a huge effort both in terms of resources involved and the number of interventions to be carried out on the area, mechanical/electrical parts, documentation and management applications.
The activities required by a renovation project therefore include a number of operations and controls to demonstrate the correct operation of the equipment post installation.
All the above must take place in compliance with current regulations (GMP and safety standards).
The release of each packaging line also depends on the successful outcome of all the activities envisaged and planned by the project and on authorisation by AIFA (Italian Medicines Agency)
For the activities envisaged by the Packaging Strategy Project, the company chose to rely on the S4BT Qualification Team (equipment, environments and utilities).
The S4BT Team of Consultants carried out the following activities to renovate the packaging area:
For the entire duration of the project, the S4BT Consultants cooperated synergistically with various areas of the client company including: Quality, validation, production, and engineering.
The Packaging Strategy Project for the new packaging lines was developed in three stages based on the introduction of sequential lines and considering the high number of products to be transferred to the new equipment.
This was made possible by simplifying the approach, grouping products with similar and comparable characteristics in homogeneous groups, and performing tests on ”worst case” products to cover less critical products.
The main results are listed below:
