Description This module will provide an overview of the technical and managerial challenges associated with the design and construction of a modern biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility. It will address the major components of such an exercise including site planning through conceptual and detailed design and on to commissioning, start-up and validation. A typical case study illustrating the integrated approach to facility design will also be considered. Attention will be given to the day-to-day operation of a biopharmaceutical facility operating in a regulated environment. Following facility construction, issues such as materials flow, personnel flow and some general utilities necessary for successful production will also be discussed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Effectively plan the major elements of an investment in a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility. 2. Demonstrate an understanding of the complex interconnecting elements of these major capital projects. 3. Address the operational requirements for the manufacturing facility within the design. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
