Webinars

→ Biomanufacturing Operational Excellence

Operational Excellence is focused on delivering higher quality product at a lower cost. Such groups have been very successful in other industries but are being challenged in biotech where regulation discourages process change. Managers also want to know: how can Operational Excellence deliver improvements when we've already focused our best people and tools at achieving such goals? Is there really room for additional optimization, when we're "doing the best we can" today? In this webinar we will describe an approach which has allowed Operational Excellence groups to deliver millions of dollars in savings by changing the way their organizations understand and analyze processes.

→ Real-time Scheduling of Biomanufacturing Operations

In this webinar, we show how Bio-G's toolsets enable biomanufacturers to see data and publish schedules, in real time. This allows users to see schedules for themselves, their functional group, or the facility as a whole in Outlook, Google, and a host of other email applications.

→ Modeling and Simulation in Biopharmaceutical Production

In this inaugural 60 minute webinar and round-table discussion, Professor Lee Schruben will answer questions about the use of modeling and simulation in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, and supply chains. This webinar will focus on how companies can successfully implement modeling technologies to deliver real value in their organizations, as well as an overview of how design-of-experiment, scheduling and the role of data affect modeling approaches.

→ QbD and Me: How to implement ICH Q10 in biotech

How do Quality by Design principles actually get implemented on the manufacturing floor? In this webinar, we show how to take QbD off the 'drawing board' and actually implement these ideas that make a measurable difference to biomanufacturing quality. We focus on specific tools, including: - Statistical process and quality control measurements (SPC and SQC) - 'Golden batches' for continuous time measurements like pH in a bioreactor - Correlating process parameters with quality outcomes and how this can drill down on 'critical' vs non-critical measurements - Multi-unit operation correlation to show how a process variation impacts processes and quality downstream

→ Real-Time optimization of biomanufacturing facilities and networks

Debottlenecking and process optimization are currently time consuming, difficult processes costing thousands of dollars and often falling short of delivering the improvements they promise. In this webinar we explore the three main causes for these challenges in biotech: old data, process variability and complex resource interdependencies.

→ Achieving Quality by Design through Statistical Process Control

Quality by Design (QbD) is a catch-phrase in the biotech industry but few facilities implement true QbD in their day-to-day operations. In this webinar, we will look at how Crosswalk allows enterprises to use Statistical Process Control (SPC) - common in other industries - to achieve continuous QbD. We look at specific examples from data sources in the enterprise and how these can help achieve higher service levels and lower failure rates.

→ Real-Time Scheduling of Biomanufacturing Supply Chains

Biomanufacturing Supply Chains are unique in their need to account for variability and risk in bulk, fill and packaging production and inventory positioning. We'll describe a different approach to biomanufacturing supply chain planning that optimizes inventory levels and risk strategies in real time.

→ Biomanufacturing Capacity: A Complete Systems Approach to Optimizing Production

Biomanufacturing facilities are complex and the current imperative is to do more, with less. A glut of capacity, new products, and substantially higher titers are forcing a re-evaluation of how to understand and optimize productive capacity. In this webinar, we will show how modeling toolsets can be used to drive a deeper understanding and optimization of the biomanufacturing process.
