The whitepaper discusses the importance of Operational Excellence (OE) in delivering maximum value to customers and stakeholders, especially in a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO). OE tools such as Value Stream Mapping, Theory of Constraints, and Line Balancing Tool enable drug makers to continuously improve their processes, overcome constraints, and achieve lean operational states to maximize output and benefit patients through timely drug development and delivery.
The whitepaper takes a detailed look at how OE tools were used by Piramal Pharma Solutions to unlock capacity at its API manufacturing facility in India, resulting in an increase in volumes of existing products and freeing up space for new, high-value molecules. This initiative helped us remain true to our commitment of Patient Centricity by unlocking over 20% of the total capacity and generating value for our customers.
