Digital Transformation - Practical Implementation of New Technologies |

Case studies: GxP Implementation of:

PAT (Process Analytical Technology) in continuous manufacturing
AR/VR (Augmented Reality/ Virtual Reality) and other technologies to Digitalise the learning journey

Organizations seeking to keep up with the digital transformation are investing in new technologies with an end-to-end (E2E) focus on their products and processes, aiming to improve operational excellence, worker experience, product quality and delivery timelines. Adoption of these new technologies requires a systematic, structural, and holistic transformation of individuals and the organization. Smart organizations of today and the future need to effectively capture, maintain and share their data, information and knowledge - including their people’s implicit and tacit knowledge - to maintain a competitive advantage and meet these high demands.

During this workshop, participants will explore multiple ISPE industry guidance (e.g. Pharma 4.0, PAT, GAMP, Knowledge Management, APQ guides) in an interactive discussion session and hear from industry experts with extensive experience in digital project/program implementation. Participants will engage in one of two case studies and learn how guidance can be applied for successful implementation of these new technologies, with a focus on people change management and best practices for sustaining the business process while navigating the digital transformation and technology adoption.

Collective group discussion with an overview of industry guidance to set the stage for technology implementation.
Participants will be divided into two groups to work on one of two case studies: PAT (Process Analytical Technology) application in continuous manufacturing or AR/VR Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality for upskilling and training
Both groups will work on developing a case study specific plan based on industry guidance and experience of the workshop leaders and participants.
Participants will identify good practices and pitfalls in project approval, implementation and sustainability.
Each group will report back and share their experiences in the collective group discussion.
The output of the workshop will be utilized and presented on the ISPE blog and/or the Pharmaceutical Engineering magazine.
