Clinical Manufacturing Suite and QC Laboratory Buildup

May 17, 2018 | Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation, Project Management

Clinical Manufacturing Suite and QC Laboratory Buildup

Duration– 12 months

Overview

Built and started a clinical manufacturing suite and supporting QC laboratory for a clinical stage pharmaceutical company.  The engineering scope of work involved process, mechanical (piping, HVAC, and plumbing), and EI&C.

The clinical manufacturing suite is approximately 800 SF.  The clinical manufacturing suite includes two liquid mixing tanks and a vial filler/capper to formulate and package a topical oral rinse product.  Additionally, the suite includes a vacuum homogenizer that combines the oral rinse product with additional raw materials to produce an oral gel product.  The gel is filled into syringes in the suite.  The suite includes a dispensing area (with 4 ft fume hood), equipment cleaning station, and small equipment wash station. 

The QC lab is approximately 800 SF and includes owner supplied analytical instrumentation, controlled temperature units (Refrigerator, Freezer, Stability Chambers, and Incubator). The lab includes at least 30 LF of benches, two 4 ft fume hoods, one laminar flow hood, space for 9 CTUs, and a glove box.  The QC suite ventilation provides isolation by maintaining negative pressure to the air lock and positive pressure from air lock to the corridor.

Autoclave Revalidation Project

Jul 23, 2017 | Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation

Autoclave Revalidation Project

Duration– 9 months

Overview

During a concurrent project onsite at a major international pharmaceutical corporation, Mangan personnel were asked to evaluate the client’s Autoclave Program as a result of a regulatory audit.  Our existing relationship with this client enabled Mangan personnel to quickly react and respond to the client’s needs.

Strategy

As a result of the Autoclave Program assessment by Mangan personnel, it was determined that a new strategy was required to best satisfy the strictest international regulatory requirements.  A specialized Mangan resource was tasked with developing a robust Autoclave Program and Strategy for dry goods to support future successful audits.  The Mangan resource created a project plan for the client including rationale for the project, scope, timelines, execution strategy, and deliverables.

Process

The project plan and execution strategy was submitted to the client for review and approval and included over 200 Autoclave cycles to be executed with supporting data analysis.  A risk assessment was performed for all items to be Autoclaved and a family approach was implemented where applicable.  This approach was taken to reduce the total number of runs required and enabled the project to be completed within a tight manufacturing schedule with minimal interruption to the Client’s established activities. 

Result

A successful overhaul of the client’s Autoclave Program was established.  In addition to successful completion of Autoclave runs, and supporting data analysis, Mangan personnel were able to update client documentation to support further efforts if needed as well as create templates for testing and standardizing the clients approach to Autoclave Testing.  The project was completed within the originally scheduled timeline, without disruption to the client’s manufacturing space.

Particle Monitoring System Integration

Jul 15, 2017 | Automation and System Integration

Client:

  • Major Global Pharmaceutical Corporation

Project Duration:

  • 3 months

Overview:

  • Mangan was contracted as a final attempt to integrate an automated particle monitoring system for a large pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, located in the Eastern USA
  • Three principle components were to be integrated for the client , including the monitoring system’s software, a legacy Matrikon OPC Server, and a Siemens Building Automation System (BAS).
  • Previous attempts for a seamless integration of the monitoring system had failed, by the in-house engineering team, the manufacturer of the particle monitoring system, and by another contract engineering and automation firm.

Strategy:

  • A specialized team of Mangan personnel familiarized themselves with a unique Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) communication software package employed by the client server.
  • Unlike the particle monitoring system manufacturer, Mangan personnel were also well versed in the clean environment and regulations containing the system.

Process:

  • Mangan personnel deconstructed the DCOM authentication process across the network and then determined the means of interfacing with the particle monitoring system and the BAS software.
  • Use of a virtual machine (VMware Software) allowed Mangan personnel to test the independent components of the facility, confirming that the new design configuration would function properly and be robust.

Result:

  • Mangan personnel were able to identify and then reconfigure significant software design changes to the existing monitoring system that not only allowed the system to seamlessly integrate with the client’s legacy server and BAS but also made the system less complicated to operate and even brought the total project cost down by eliminating unnecessary and redundant software components.

Facility Expansion/Modification

Jul 15, 2017 | Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation

Client:

  • Major Global Pharmaceutical Corporation

Project Duration:

  • 12 months

Overview:

  • Mangan was contracted to provide integrated Commissioning and Qualification services for a large pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, located in the Eastern USA
  • Scope included:  Clean Utilities, Room Qualification through Environmental Monitoring Performance Qualification, Production and ancillary equipment C&Q, and Media Fills.
  • C&Q activities spanned from installation and start up through Performance Qualification.

Strategy:

  • A dedicated team of Mangan personnel worked with site staff and other contract resources to develop System and Testing documentation, execute protocols, investigate failures, and develop summary reports.
  • A Mangan representative provided project leadership, prioritization, resource management and progress reporting to client personnel.

Process:

  • A matrix of project deliverables was created categorizing by deliverable type, due date, and complexity.  The matrix was maintained up to date and expanded to include phases (in review, approved, in execution, post review, complete)
  • Resources were scheduled for 24/7 coverage during critical project phases to maintain timelines and ensure a timely project delivery.
  • Twice daily meetings were used to communicate issues with the potential to impact the project timeline and present possible corrective actions.  Site resource needs were communicate during this meeting to representatives of Operations, Engineering, and Quality.

Result:

  • Mangan personnel were able to successfully deliver the project and continue to support the site with additional projects and on going qualification support.
