PD 589: Maintenance and Operations of Biopharmaceutical Equipment and Facilities -


 

THIS SEMINAR HAS BEEN CANCELED

 

Description
The BioPharmaceutical Industry is focusing more and more on the long-term life of their Equipment and Facilities. This focus comes from the challenges facing the industry, which include: Increased Plant Throughput Rates; Lower Cost of Goods Manufactured; and Multiproduct Flexibility.

This seminar will focus on those factors which can most influence the successful management of the BioProcess Equipment and the Utility Assets within these operating plants. Operation and Maintenance best practices will be stressed, by reviewing regulatory requirements, actual case studies, and the engineering concepts to increase long-term asset value.


What you will Learn


  • Regulatory requirements for Maintenance programs
  • Operational requirements for long term service of specific types of equipment
  • Design and Material selection considerations for long term service of process and Utility systems
  • How to establish a Maintenance Program and Procedures for BioProcessing Equipment
  • Network with industry peers, share knowledge and experience


Who Should Attend
This seminar should be useful for facility engineers, maintenance engineers, reliability engineers, process engineers, utility engineers, validation engineers, quality assurance staff, project managers, and maintenance technicians, with 2-8 yrs of experience in manufacturing and operation, engineering, validation, quality assurance.
