Revolutionizing Drug Production: A Shift to Continuous Manufacturing

Описание: This week, Stacey is joined by Renee Phillips to discuss the pros and cons of transitioning to a continuous manufacturing system. Batch production is time-consuming yet remains a popular and time-tested method used in the pharma industry today - but some industry leaders, along with the FDA, have taken steps toward or are now contemplating a shift to continuous manufacturing. This means all stages of drug production run through to the final product, without a stop during its production, thus shut down of equipment between “batches” is required, which eliminates downtime.  CM  saves time and reduces the likelihood of human error, but is it realistic at this point in time?
