Jaimie Johnston and Kevin Masters talk to ICE Publishing about automated construction

When this happens the magic of creativity and the art of the possible thrive.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing of a single product through its lifecycle spans multiple functions and sites within each organisation and spans multiple organisations through product acquisitions and contract manufacturing.Thus, the breadth of what needs to be changed to deploy a new platform technology is significant.. Resistance to challenging accepted practice.

Regulatory and patient safety risks are always high up the agenda for the pharmaceutical industry.The unfamiliar and the new are assessed as having higher risk than the known.. How manufacturing sits versus perceived value creation in the pharmaceutical companies.In reality, pharmaceutical value creation comes from the development or acquisition of promising NCEs, and their ability to commercialise them.

Their expertise, understanding and comfort lie with the plants and systems they work with every day.Understanding work density and takt planning:.

The concept of work density is introduced as a way to measure the amount of work done in a specific area over time.This metric is crucial for takt planning, a method used to increase efficiency on construction sites by creating a steady workflow.

Iris explains how understanding and applying these concepts can lead to faster, more predictable, and higher-quality construction projects..This podcast offers a comprehensive view of the future of construction, emphasising the need for lean principles, collaboration, standardisation, technological integration, and advanced planning methodologies.In this episode, Head of Global Systems,.
