Streamline manufacturing process planning

Efficiently manage manufacturing processes and recipes by adopting a digital transformation approach that centralizes recipe knowledge, ensures seamless tech transfer and optimizes production processes. This involves using digital twin technology to design, simulate and analyze recipes and facility layouts, ensuring compliance, improving efficiency and reducing costs. By leveraging digital solutions, companies can streamline operations, manage recipe lifecycles and accelerate the path from lab to commercial production.

Start digitalization in the lab

Digital recipe transformation enables pharmaceutical companies to efficiently manage product and process specifications from lab scale to commercial production. By centralizing recipe knowledge, verifying manufacturability, and optimizing facility layouts, companies can streamline the recipe lifecycle from initial development to execution. This process starts with the Product and Process Development (PD) Recipe, as defined by the research and development laboratory. From there, a General Recipe is produced that defines materials and operations, which is then adapted to site-specific capabilities, such as adjusting for equipment differences. The Master Recipe specifies the exact equipment used, and finally, the Control Recipe provides detailed instructions for automation, ensuring consistency and efficiency in production.

Reduce costs and risks with digital recipe transformation

Pharmaceutical companies can achieve greater efficiency, consistency and speed by leveraging digital transformation through three key pillars: knowledge-driven recipe transformation, manufacturability verification and manufacturability optimization.

• Knowledge-driven recipe transformation: Centralize recipe management, ensuring consistency, reducing errors, and streamlining the transition from lab to commercial-scale drug production by efficiently managing processes and leveraging digital technologies like generative AI.
• Manufacturability verification: Streamline the integration from R&D to manufacturing, ensuring consistency and quality by efficiently matching recipes with the right facilities and enabling seamless tech transfer across global sites.
• Manufacturability optimization: Enhance production efficiency and material flow by designing, simulating and analyzing processes early in the drug lifecycle, allowing for accurate planning, reduced errors, and continuous improvement through digital tools like bottleneck analysis and digital twins.

Three benefits of digital recipe transformation

Digital recipe transformation shortens the path from lab to commercial production, offering significant benefits.

• Accelerate new product introductions (NPI) by optimizing planning and visualization, and reduce time-to-market with a centralized approach to manufacturing.
• Ensure accuracy and compliance, maintain quality and meet stringent regulatory standards through centralized control and monitoring.
• Enable timely reactions to changes, and foster collaboration between R&D, manufacturing planning, and execution, which improves decision-making and adaptability in a constantly evolving environment.
