The pre-production planning stage sets the foundation for the entire manufacturing process. The objective is to ensure that all necessary resources, materials, and personnel are in place before production begins. Key activities include defining production schedules, assessing resource availability, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
In this stage, raw materials are prepared for the manufacturing process. The objective is to ensure that all materials meet quality standards and are ready for use. Key activities include the inspection, weighing, and qualification of raw materials, as well as the documentation of material specifications.
The production process is where the actual production of pharmaceutical products takes place. The objective is to transform raw materials into finished products while adhering to strict quality standards.
Quality control and testing are crucial to ensure that the products meet safety and efficacy standards. The objective is to conduct thorough testing of the products at various stages of production (pre, in-process and post).
Once the products pass quality control, and after quality assurance approval, they move to the packaging stage. The objective is to package the products in a manner that ensures their integrity and compliance with regulatory standards.
The final stage of the production phase is distribution, where the packaged products are prepared for shipment to various locations. The objective is to ensure that products are delivered safely and efficiently to customers.
