Currently, pharmaceutical manufacturers are said to waste $25 billion on supply chain inefficiencies. Technology offers a way to achieve transparency and results.
An annual survey on inspections and audits has revealed opportunities to use more flexible approaches to optimize processes.
IQ Consortium representatives explore industry approaches for applying GMPs in early development.
A two-day workshop on the "science behind pharmaceutical stability" was held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) on Oct. 21-22, 2011 in Washington, DC.

Maintaining a quality culture across the diverse functions in a bio/pharmaceutical company is difficult. Representatives of the Quality Coordinating Committee of IQ Consortium report on collaborative efforts to address data integrity and the modernization of FDA’s good laboratory practice regulations.
We interview Subhro Mallik from IT firm Infosys about how pharma is responding to the cloud computing phenomenon and what more can be done to realise business benefits.

Single-use technologies, which started off as a tool for small-volume solution storage and transport has now become the central, enabling technology around which manufacturing processes and facilities are being designed.
The aim of this work was to investigate the compactibility, compressibility and drug release behaviour of different fractions of a commercially available ethyl cellulose.
The authors explore and define common industry approaches and practices when applying GMPs in early development.
Anil Kane, executive director, Global Head of Formulation Sciences, Pharmaceutical Development Services at Patheon discusses key parameters in the development and manufacturing of oral solid-dosage forms.
Advanced powder testing is a useful tool to differentiate materials and optimize the supply chain.

The authors present two concepts to improve robustness and facilitate continuous improvement in analytical methods.
It has been demonstrated that the existing FDA dose content uniformity test has very poor statistical relevance, which has resulted in the acceptance of poor quality batches and the rejection of good quality batches. By using Bayesian Inference, a much improved test has been produced that allows the quality of a batch of drug product to be determined accurately, using a suitable number of samples for the quality of the batch.
Last year, the global market for biological products exceeded $125 billion, accounting for 17% of the total market for pharma/biopharma products.
The economic crisis has affected outsourcing providers in several ways.
Many small pharma/biopharma companies do not understand what a QMS is and the benefits offered by such a system. To be effective, there are several key strategic elements and systems that a QMS must incorporate.
The security of documents in the pharmaceutical industry has become a critical issue since the advent of electronic data transfer. Companies in Europe must comply with 21 CFR Part 11 if they sell in the US. The regulations also require that secure, computer-generated, time-stamped audit trails are used to record the date and time of operator entries and actions that create, modify or delete electronic records. In particular, the record change must not obscure previously recorded information.
