Tim’s presentation followed an excellent presentation from Stephen Keane at Lonza in Singapore. Stephen has decades of project management experience and gave a very practical talk about the techniques he uses to manage projects tin order to deliver them on time, on budget and to specification. Tim’s presentation then complemented Stephen by talking about how to build lean manufacturing thinking in to the design and layout of new plants. Tim used a real data from a solid dose tablet manufacturing facility to demonstrate how the lean manufacturing approach can reduce capital cost, reduce plant footprint and lead to lower ongoing operating costs for the new facility. This approach is not limited to pharmaceuticals and the TXM Plant Layout Development Process has been applied in an enormous range of manufacturing and warehousing workplaces.
