Poster: Use of a Simple Visual Tool to Monitor Commercial-Scale Purification Process Performance on the Manufacturing Floor

Presenter: Lakshmi Pathange, Bayer HealthCare

About: Tools such as standard work and daily weekly operational reports are used in the manufacturing to manage floor operations. These tools play an important role in facilitating communication between floor operators and management. They are used by operators to track, monitor and improve floor operations. Though these tools are excellent in analyzing operational efficiency, they rarely contain details to monitor purification process performance. In order to enhance floor operator involvement in process performance issues, a simple visual tool was developed. Chromatographic data such as UV peak height, conductivity and pressure were used to generate a process monitoring tool. The data entry and compilation are performed by operators on the floor after each process step. The data is continuously reviewed by operators and management to identify any emerging issues that could impact process performance. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate its use by operators and management as simple and effective tool to communicate and evaluate commercial-scale purification process performance.
