Applying Lean Six Sigma in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Bikash Chatterjee's guide to lean manufacturing, six sigma and operational excellence in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries explores how these techniques can be applied across every aspect of the business; from the earliest processes of project selection through the clinical trial process, manufacturing and supply chain. Challenging conventional wisdom, the book offers a quality perspective on lean manufacturing and provides the latest thinking on Process Analytical Technology and the opportunities of designing for quality. These techniques are not without their challenges - how do you balance a lean philosophy with the dramatic growth and change in the market for drugs in the developing economies? Bikash Chatterjee offers direction to an industry that is struggling to reinvent many of its processes.
