Timothy Korwan, director, new product introductions, Avantor, describes how using a dedicated training room can ensure the reliability and quality of single-use (SU) systems.
Key insights:
- SU manufacturers that depend on cleanroom assembly facilities can experience improvement in quality control, productivity and workforce satisfaction through investments in training facilities.
- Training rooms can mimic the production line in a controlled cleanroom environment and uses rejected, returned or non-cGMP-compliant materials that would otherwise be wasted.
- SU manufacturers need to reduce contamination risks while limiting changeover times - this needs to be done in environmentally controlled cleanroom environments with associates wearing the appropriate PPE specified.
The rapid growth of single-use (SU) systems in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical production processes has introduced efficiencies into drug manufacturing workflows; it has also introduced new challenges for SU manufacturers. Single-use manufacturers must expand to meet global demand.
