Pharma Manufacturers Seek Visibility into Processes to Drive Efficiency

The rise of shorter, customized runs in the pharmaceutical industry has strained production capacity at many plants. To keep up with this demand, manufacturers are seeking to improve efficiency by increasing visibility into their operations.

According to a new white paper from PMMI Business Intelligence, “Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, Trends Shaping The Industry,” this visibility is achieved by expanding the amount of digitized data being collected on machines and finding meaningful ways to analyze and utilize that data to drive operational efficiency.

This is easier said than done, however: the expansion of data collection and analysis often requires significant operational changes that are both costly and time consuming. To assist manufacturers on their digitization journey, suppliers can frame the process as a gradual, stepped approach that is more palatable to pharmaceutical companies.

The first steps in this process involve expanding data collection through the addition of smart sensors on machines, which can be gradually integrated to increase the level of data gathered. These improvements can yield tools such as real-time views of OEE, downtimes, and production levels.

As integration increases and data expands, suppliers can guide manufacturers in how to interpret and utilize accumulated data. Analyzing this “big data” can have significant benefits for manufacturers, increasing efficiency and decreasing waste in processes across operations.
