FDAnews Announces — The Biopharmaceutical Facility of the Future: To 2025 and Beyond Webinar, Sept. 29, 2015
Falls Church, VA (PRWEB) September 11, 2015 -- The Biopharmaceutical Facility of the Future:
To 2025 and Beyond
**FDAnews Webinar**
Sept. 29, 2015 — 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. EDT

The biopharmaceutical facilities that are designed, built and renovated today — while evolving to accommodate new process technology and multiple products — will bear little resemblance to facilities of the future. Drivers of transformation in the industry include:
• Global regulatory harmonization
• Return on investment
• Relocation/adaptation to areas with more favorable tax structures
• Speed of product introduction
• Scalability at a rapid pace, as needed
• The ability to repurpose a facility, process or equipment instantly
• Mergers, acquisitions, and divestiture
Manufacturers will continue to focus on large molecules, novel delivery systems, and continuous processing; they’ll use small batch sizes to accommodate both the requirements of lower risk for high-value and high-volume products, and more individualized medicines. Thus, the facilities, processes, and filling will be profoundly different, even as the packaging remains recognizable. The financial drivers mentioned above will force a revolution in the process area, and developments such as:
• Fully contained and disposable process equipment
• Inert system with no exposure to any atmosphere
• Pod-based, autonomous facilities/rooms
• Robotic assembly/disassembly of processes
• Humans existing only in ISO 8 environments
• PAT- and sensor-based quality control and release
In this webinar, Herman and Erich Bozenhardt will explore the commercial factors which are driving the industry and often not towards success. Second, they’ll discuss the establishment of a joint global regulatory agency. Based on the business aspects, they’ll define future process requirements and provide a view of how change is accelerating from evolution to revolution. Finally, with the processes designed, they’ll discuss what manufacturing plants will eventually become and how they’ll support compliant production.
Attendees will get an inside-out view of a future plant’s design model: Process Core, Facility Design, Facility Operations, HVAC, Utilities, and Construction. This webinar will explore these critical aspects, expose attendees to technologies available today from a design and compliance perspective, and provide specific guidelines and direction on how to them right now.
Specifically attendees will learn:
• The process technologies driving the future of the business
• A glimpse of the minimalist, modular state that companies will evolve towards
• The future of compliance — a singular “bullet-proof” concept without contamination
• What to do today to enhance production and become part of the revolution
