Workshop: Holistic Digital Pharma 4.0 Maturity Assessment

Oct 15, 2023 9:00am ‐ Oct 15, 2023 12:00pm

Identification: sesws1

The pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated due to its involvement with products that are essential to human health. The Holistic Pharma 4.0 Digital Maturity Assessment is a key step for pharmaceutical companies aiming to implement digital transformation initiatives in the framework of Industry 4.0 or Pharma 4.0. The objective of this workshop is to enable participants to apply and conduct the Holistic Pharma 4.0 Digital Maturity Assessment, evaluate the organization's status and readiness for digital transformation, identify areas for improvement and comprehend the major obstacles they may encounter the path to achieving a higher maturity level. Participants will also learn how to interpret the results of the assessment through a heatmap, which will highlight the organization's strong and weak areas of structural capability. The goal is also to get feedback from the audience of the maturity assessment for content and structure. The workshop is designed for all managers involved in a digital transformation journey like Chief Digital Officers (CDOs), Quality leads, Engineering, IT, Operations and Supply Chain of all kinds of life sciences manufacturing organizations and Service, Equipment and Software providers to assess the organization's maturity in regard to readiness for a digital transformation.

Identification: SESWS2

This 3-hour workshop consists of 3 plenary presentations and two breakout sessions. ICH Q9 (R1) Topic Leader, Kevin O'Donnell from EMA will summarize the rationale for and changes to the recently issued ICH Q9, Quality Risk Management revision. There will be two industry presentations summarizing ISPE activity to support the ICH Q9 Implementation Working Group with provision of case studies covering the topics of formality, subjectivity, decision-making and product availability. These will be followed by two breakout discussion sessions, each session covering two of the above topics in parallel. A participant could, therefore, attend and contribute to two out of the four breakout topic discussions. The Workshop will conclude with feedback from the breakout groups, a Q&A and closing remarks.

Workshop: Development of a Contamination Control Strategy

Oct 15, 2023 9:00am ‐ Oct 15, 2023 12:00pm

Identification: SESWS3

According to Annex 1, Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) is referred to as a family of documents that unite, evaluate, and record the adequacy of tools used to assure the purity and quality of drug products. The heightened focus on the CCS is centered around not only physical mechanisms to control contamination but now also emphasizes how the mechanisms work together and how they are managed as a group. This workshop will engage attendees in the development of a CCS using a case study and supporting documentation from an existing cGMP facility. Attendees will be exposed to a methodology to develop a CCS that was performed for the actual facility that is used for the case study. Attendees will interact with different procedures and design documents and see how the documents support each other and work together to ensure that the facility operates in a way to prevent contamination of drug products. Attendees will be exposed to the use of Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA) for the CCS. Lastly, attendees will experience realistic challenges during the creation of the CCS and gain valuable lessons learned from the actual team that executed the same CCS methodology.

Identification: SESWS4

Designing and Operations of a Flexible Manufacturing Facility Workshop. The first presentation will focus on the importance of facility programming to develop a thorough conceptual design that sets the project on the right path of an efficient design that meets schedule and cost targets. The programming approach will walk-through the development of a layout and challenges of defining criteria for a flexible facility.
- Identifying facility requirements and prioritizing needs vs. wants
- Progression of a conceptual layout
- Defining flexibility to provide a basis for the design

The second presentation will be a case study of a CTDMO that will discuss the overall facility and it's approach to the facility designed for Multi-products, Multi- clients, and muliti-manufacturing and testing areas to provide a facility that provides end to end capabilities for ATMP drug products. The presentation will demonstrate the approach and key drivers for the facility design focused on a flexible suite for multiple products, multiple clients and accommodation of all levels of therapy life cycle including clinical and commercial production considerations.
- Room layout for flexibility in current and future process operations
- Suites designed for ease of change-over and reconfiguration
- Multiple floors with differing room arrangement options
- Understanding challenges of facility retrofit and renovation

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) Presentation
OEE Hands on Exercise

Description:
When a plant or unit operation is not performing at its optimal efficiency, it is useful to track downtime and quantify the gap between equipment operation and perfect production. Opportunities to improve production can be understood using the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metric.

When out of specification material is produced, organizations can spend precious time and money trying to identify the root cause. Machine learning allows users to compare process data to known periods of good and/or bad production to identify aberrant periods and key contributors.

In this workshop, we will walk through OEE and ML for pharmaceutical processes. We will use example process data to:
1. Demonstrate techniques to identify downtime and build out OEE metrics to identify production opportunity
2. Use machine learning to compare process data to a predefined baseline to isolate the key contributor to process upsets.

Note: This is a hands-on workshop; participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops to be able to walk through OEE and ML practice examples led by the workshop instructors.

We'll discuss how you can take a more proactive approach to these aspects of your operations and provide practical strategies to help you plan more effectively.
Leading Others: The final part emphasizes the importance of effective communication, particularly in conveying Key Process Indicators (KPIs) and their significance to diverse levels within your team and organization. As technical skills can vary in their application across different companies and teams, we'll explore how to recognize these differences and how to incorporate this understanding into effective communication of team goals and objectives.

Please note that this is an interactive session, so participants are advised to come prepared with a mobile device for full participation in various activities.
