Efficiency is no longer a “nice to have” – it’s the foundation of future viability.
ECONOMICAL PRODUCTION OF INFUSION SOLUTIONS
Rising demand, high manual workload, and increasing cost pressure are pushing many laboratories to their limits.
The production of infusion solutions – especially for cytostatics and other highly specialized cytopharmaceuticals – is often manual, patient-specific, and therefore both time- and resource-intensive. At the same time, economic pressure is mounting to produce more efficiently and cost-effectively.
INITIAL SITUATION
The production of infusion solutions faces numerous challenges. The composition of medications and the associated production effort have changed significantly. Meanwhile, production volumes continue to grow while cost pressure intensifies.
A new layout and modified, non-productive shift activities further affect resource utilization. Numerous non–value-adding tasks tie up valuable capacity without directly contributing to production. In addition, costs are often not allocated according to their actual origin, making targeted optimization difficult.
Throughout all adjustments and improvement measures, strict GMP principles and cleanroom guidelines must, of course, be observed to ensure consistent quality and safety in production.
SOLUTION AND RESULTS
To optimize resource utilization, a comprehensive process assessment using MTM in the cleanroom was carried out. Based on this analysis, secondary activities were systematically reduced, and both staffing requirements and deployment were planned more efficiently.
The results speak for themselves:
+15% increase in available production time
Cost optimization potential of €900,000 per year
Approval from the works council for sustainable implementation
