Continuous Manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry – A promising solution.

Batch manufacturing is the proven and trusted process for manufacturing pharmaceutical products.
However, the interest of the industry to move to continuous manufacturing is increasing.

A key driver is the FDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The opinion of the FDA is, that continuous manufacturing has the possibility to improve product quality, reduces medicine shortages, and increases efficiency, among other benefits. Continuous manufacturing is supported by many regulatory bodies as it is consistent with the quality-by-design (QbD) approach for the development of pharmaceutical products.

 

Advantages of Continuous Manufacturing

In continuous manufacturing, a pharmaceutical product is produced without interruption. The entire process takes place on one production line, from start to finish, without stop.

The advantages of continuous manufacturing include:

• Reduction in manufacturing costs, especially over the long term
• Improved quality
• Shorter production time – in some cases from weeks to days
• Reduction in the risk of human error
• Automated monitoring techniques and predictive maintenance can be used

In addition, continuous manufacturing is a more flexible process that makes scaling production much easier.
For example, scaling up will simply mean that the continuous manufacturing process will run longer.
