47 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE MARCH 2020 INTEGRATED PROJECT SERV I CES , LLC BVM: What is involved when a customer approaches IPS about setting up a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility? Butler: “Over the years, we’ve modified our lean delivery and execution model to match what the customers are looking for today. We have all the traditional architecture and engineering disciplines you need to design a facility. But where we differentiate ourselves is with our subject matter expertise in pharmaceutical manufacturing. We have developed a proprietary process to align facility design with the business goals of our customer. That will vary from company to company, but let’s take a cell and gene therapy company. We have experts that understand biotechnology and vaccine manufacturing and they’re very familiar with the unit operations and the platforms required to make cell and gene therapy products. So, we would start out by looking at the recipes and the process for what they want to make and we would then align it with where they want Turbo Boost for Turnkey CSPE approach accelerates projects and leads to reduced time-to-market Optima Pharma realizes complex turnkey systems for the pharmaceutical industry using CSPE – Comprehensive Scientific Process Engineering. This approach significantly shortens the delivery and commissioning times of complex turnkey systems and numerous projects have already benefited from it. Optima Pharma develops and manufactures filling, closing, and process technology as well as containment and freeze-drying solutions for pharmaceutical products. Optima Pharma is a member of OPTIMA packaging group GmbH (Schwäbisch Hall), which employs a workforce of more than 2,400 around the globe. Optima Group guarantees quick, professional service with 19 national and international locations. Optima Machinery Corporation, located in Green Bay, WI, provides local support in the United States. To realize complex turnkey projects, including filling and closing technology and isolators and freeze drying technologies in record time, Optima Pharma is successfully using the technical and scientific CSPE approach (Comprehensive Scientific Process Engineering). As a result of the newly built CSPE Center, “integrated acceptances” are now possible. The entire system – consisting of the isolator and filling and closing machine – can be fully tested and approved on-site in Schwäbisch Hall (Germany). From the pre-design stage through delivery and training, Optima Pharma draws on a variety of available features such as digital engineering, simulation, and virtual reality. “This reduces the overall project duration. Depending on the project, this can take up to six months”, summarized Gerhard Breu, Chairman of the Optima Pharma Division. ......
