Acquiring pharmaceutical processing equipment and successfully integrating it into operations is not as straightforward as it may seem. Whether used or new, everything is up for consideration and evaluation: vendor, type, specifications, performance, reliability, capability, service life, price, and importantly, availability. Oral solid dose (OSD) manufacturing, especially at commercial scale, is particularly dependent on the operational efficiency of a familiar but increasingly complex train of processing equipment to mass produce tablets and capsules. More than ever, the success of a particular OSD product rests on operational excellence and the ability to deliver high-performing, variation-free process.
