In the first step of data acquisition all potentially relevant process data has to be collected.
To start analysing a specific situation, the data relevant for this situation need to be selected in a second step of data extraction.
To yield information, these data have to be analysed with process knowledge in a third step of data evaluation.
The concluded information will then be used to develop process improvements," says Zeller.
His presentation will illustrate the general approach and results from individual projects.
The comprehensive business process described by Lou Pillai from Pfizer and consultant Dennis Brandl generates insightful analysis of the new information model framework proposed to address evolving information needs of manufacturing businesses.
"Innovation in pharmaceutical manufacturing with faster development, faster new product release, robust process understanding and vastly improved quality by design is a key component of the FDA 21st century manufacturing initiative.
The context of how this information is created, consumed, refined, and used varies depending on business processes such as production sourcing, material sourcing, new product introduction, continuous process improvement, process optimisation, and product investigations," according to Pillai and Brandl.
Each year, the European conference offers attendees unmatched technical papers, in-depth presentations, descriptive forums, panels, networking, and knowledge sharing.
WBF is an association of end-users, vendors, consultants, and academics with a strict, non-commercial agenda.
