Global Pharma Facility:
Sterile Injectables
Exploratory Phase Evaluation (EPE)
About Our Client
One of the largest sterile injectable facilities in the world, produces almost 25% of all sterile injectables used in U.S. hospitals. Annually the site produces more than 400 million units for patients in the U.S. and around the world.
Business Challenge: Why Client Opted for the NEXA | EPE
With such a high volume of output from the site, equipment uptime and availability are essential. Although different continuous improvement efforts were underway at the site in the areas of Maintenance, Calibration, Reliability and Spares Management, there was no overarching report on the current state, the proposed future state, and the amount of value obtainable from these different efforts. The site considered the EPE the best way to capture all of this information in the shortest amount of time.
