Pharmaceutical Production Facilities

Pharmaceutical Production Facilities: Design and Applications explores the concepts and constraints that must be taken into consideration when designing small, medium, and large scale production plants. The author discusses the layout and the flow of materials and personnel through facilities, with reference to ensuring compliance with good manufacturing practice. He explains how clean rooms have developed and how recent regulations affect their design and assesses changes in standards and quality control. This comprehensive volume makes suggestions for the ideal production environment to enable standards to be validated to current standards.

Pharmaceutical Production Facilities: Design and Applications considers the concepts and constraints that have to be considered in the design of small, medium and large scale production plants. The layout, along with the flow of materials and personnel through facilities are considered with reference to ensuring compliance with current good manufacturing practice. The book explains how clean rooms have developed, and how recent regulations affect their design. The latest concepts for reducing contamination levels from the operator and the product are discussed. It assess current changes in standards and quality control and makes suggestions for the "ideal production environment" to enable standards to be validated to current standards.
