Case Studies: Pharmaceuticals
AT TXM Lean Solutions, we serve an extensive global clientele and give them a range of lean manufacturing solutions to maximize operational efficiency. This post looks at one of our successful lean manufacturing pharmaceutical case studies.
Lean Manufacturing Pharmaceutical Examples
Our client is a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer on a global scale, with a plant in China. The company has made a name for itself by producing high volumes of a small range of products for the local market. While the China-based plant started as a regional manufacturing hub, it now serves around ten regional hubs in the country.
The company is now a supplier of several hundred SKUs from a supplier of just a few SKUs to a limited local market. The progress has been because of TXM’s involvement in providing lean pharmaceutical manufacturing solutions.
Our input was in helping the company to develop the operational culture and processes necessary to manage the complexities surrounding production. That way, the company would be in a better position to meet the needs of its regional customers.
How Our Lean Manufacturing Pharmaceuticals Solutions Work
We developed a value stream map to help our client improve production and efficiency. It covers the process from the packaging suppliers, the plant, and the regional distribution centers. This high-level map allows us to analyze and translate the practical actions and metrics at each process point. Then, we coached the stakeholders on implementing the processes until operations were in total production.
