The pharmaceutical industry is very highly regulated because it deals with products that are essential to human health. The Holistic Pharma 4.0 Digital Maturity assessment is a key step for pharma companies seeking to implement digital transformation initiatives in the context of Industry 4.0 or Pharma 4.0. The goal of this Workshop is for the audience learn to evaluate the organization's readiness for digital transformation and identify opportunities for improvement and to apply and conduct the Holistic Pharma 4.0 digital maturity assessment. After conducting the Holistic Pharma 4.0 Maturity Assessment a heatmap will show the strong and weak structural areas of an organization and to get recommendations in which areas it will help to apply a digital transformational process and to which maturity level.

Speakers:
The ability to bring drug products to market in a timely manner is critical to patient health. When manufacturing processes face excessive downtime and/or failures patients risk delay to potentially life-saving therapeutics. The ability to quantify and assign root causes to these process issues can save pharmaceutical companies time and money, while helping drugs reach patients faster. 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 using Seeq. We will use example process data to:
Speaker:
According to Annex 1, 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.
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.
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.
Speaker:
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.
Speaker:
