| dc.description.abstract | The continuous evolution in standardization, digitalization, and changes in the ways of working in manufacturing in the
pharmaceutical industry and the increase in production for product X by 2023, has made it necessary to study the work process and standardize the blending production unit of the Flex 2 production area. The Flex 2 area is dedicated to a single product only. For the preparation of the drug, the area of Flex 2 performs 2 different types of API mixing, since the drug in its final stage of
compression is a Bi-layer tablet. The blending process requires standardizing the number of operators needed to execute the batches and the number of batches that can be manufactured in the Flex 2 Blending unit. In 2022, a total of 610 batches were processed and the average batch cycle time was 7.0hrs. Key Terms - Blending, Cycle Time, Lean Manufacturing, Standardization Times. | en_US |
