Comparison of two granulation processes with the view to reduce manufacturing cost

Maclean, Aldritt Allister January 2004 (has links)
Aspen Pharmacare, one of the leading pharmaceutical manufacturers in South Africa has embarked on a programme of improving the production processes currently employed at their Port Elizabeth site. With the introduction of new technology at the site and the move towards globalization, it became imperative that Aspen remain competitive in the market. The product of interest in this research, Degoran Plus tablets, is one of the company’s leading brand sellers. Upon investigation, it became apparent that this product created opportunity for process improvement using the new technology. The manufacture of Degoran Plus entails granulation, compression and coating of the product. Most opportunity for improvement was possible in the granulation stage because of the laborious nature of the present process. Degoran Plus tablets had a history of analytical failures, especially with regard to the dissolution rate of the final product, as well as other quality related issues. The product was not considered to be a “through-runner”, which resulted in bad production output, due to continual repeats of not only analysis but also reworks in production. A strategic decision was taken to manufacture Degoran Plus using the Collette Gral granulator as the equipment offered superior mixing capability when compared to the Bear planetary granulator. It was assumed that the granulation process would result in more uniform distribution of the actives. Upon producing a better granule, a final product of superior quality would be attained. The validation protocol stipulates that three samples be taken and tested from the powder mix. Nine samples taken from granulated bulk are treated in the same manner. The validation protocol further stipulates that the first three batches manufactured utilise the new process, and tested according to the protocol. The results obtained from the analysis are evaluated statistically and a conclusion and recommendation were derived based on the evaluation.
