PD477: Bioprocess Technology Implementation


This course is now available on CD-ROM. To purchase, please call 800-843-2763.



Description

This course will provide a comprehensive study of bioprocess technology implementation in GMP manufacturing facilities, as well as instruction on the latest trends, strategies and techniques that are employed by industry leaders to successfully execute time & resource limited projects in a regulated environment. Class discussion, workshop exercises and case studies will be employed to explore all aspects of equipment and facility delivery, including strategic planning, technology transfer, programming, bioprocess design, equipment sourcing, automation, construction, commissioning and validation.

What You Will Learn

  • Understand and apply key techniques used by leading biologics manufacturers for process technology transfer and implementation.
  • Learn industry best practices for the design and delivery of biopharmaceutical facilities & equipment.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of new and renovated bioprocess manufacturing systems, and generate a realistic execution plan, cost & schedule to submit for capital approval.
  • Apply proven techniques to successfully deliver bioprocess equipment while meeting production, compliance, budget and schedule constraints.
  • Participate in multiple discussions, case studies and workshops while networking with industry peers, sharing knowledge and experience.


Who Should Attend

This course is an essential resource for engineers, scientists and managers who are involved in bioprocess technology development, transfer and implementation via the design and delivery of biologics manufacturing facilities. Our informative and practical approach to bioprocess systems implementation will be especially useful to engineers, consultants, project suppliers and end users that are involved in the creation of new, expanded or renovated GMP facilities. Attendees should have a basic understanding of project management principles and bioprocess unit operations.
