OPTIMA Commissioning Engineer

Germany

About

• Successfully transferred the Granulation process to a 3rd party manufacturer in India, giving the site greater flexibility within our granulation suites for new formulation and scale up capacity for new and existing products. • Eliminated a recurring process issue in a high volume product, which allowed production to continue uninterrupted, allowed equipment to run at maximum speed and alleviated the need for product to go on hold and interruption to supply as a result. • Scaled up a new global product and optimised the process before validation and launch. After a year of production process capabilities are acceptable, and there have been no batch failures or processing issues. • Identified poor run ability of a tablet press on a specific product. Identified corrective actions, then co-ordinated and implemented those action. The result was that the routing time on the press were reduced on a batch by batch basis from 54hrs to 26hrs.
