Although continuous flow chemistry—wherein molecules are made in a continuous process rather than in batches—has gained ground in academic labs, its adoption by industry and contract manufacturing ...

Researchers at the University of Liège (BE) have designed a high-performance, open-access continuous flow process to safely produce key antibacterial drugs from bio-based furfural. The results of the ...

Most facilities that fail in lean implementations have weak quality systems. More specifically, they have failed to create stable process flow. If you have some or even one of these issues, you will ...

Quality control has moved out of the ‘end of the line' zone in today's manufacturing world. It's woven into the process.

Brush and Maritan write that flow manufacturing "allows a plant to develop its manufacturing capabilities of quality, flexibility and delivery speed with positive feedback on cost and efficiency.

The manufacturing process is a complex one that can be impacted by many factors: supplies, equipment, factory overhead, the need for special parts, and the people who work at all points in the process ...

Historically, pharmaceutical products have been produced in a traditional ‘batch’ system, in which every operation is executed separately using a defined quantity of materials. In batch manufacturing ...

The steps of a complex process can be displayed in sequence using a graphic referred to as a process flowchart. The graphic explains the way a process is or should be functioning, depending on the ...
