The present article gives an introduction and general overview on process validation of pharmaceutical manufacturing process especially tablet manufacturing process. The principal objective of dosage form design is to achieve a predictable therapeutic response to a drug included in a formulation which is capable of large scale manufacture with reproducible product quality. Solid dosage forms in...

As attention to environmental problems grows, product life cycle management becomes a crucial issue in realizing a sustainable society. Our objective is to provide the functions necessary for society while minimizing material and energy consumption. From this viewpoint, we should redefine the role of maintenance as a prime method for life cycle management. In this paper, we first discuss the ch...

This paper discusses the requirements on product model presentations that are suitable for reuse. The aim is to define promising directions for future research by recognizing how the characteristics of reuse entities vary at the different stages of the product life-cycle. Reuse entities are roughly categorized into three types of presentation entities: macroscopic principles for the early stage...

Many impact assessment methods use weighing factors to agregate the different environmental effects into a single score value for the total impact caused by a product life cycle. The introduction of subjectivity in the decision process during product development, by using this kind of weighting factors, should be avoided. A more objective approach uses indicators based on laws of physics, for e...

Manufacturers are moving more and more towards the business approach of Product/Service Systems (PSS) in order to achieve greater revenue. PSS have many benefits such as achieving closer customer connection and generating increased profit from manufactured products. However, in order to achieve a PSS which is adapted for this business approach, the products and services used need to consider a ...

The paper presents simulation-based methodology for analysis and optimisation of multiechelon supply chain planning policies over the product life cycle. It is aimed to analyse an efficiency of a specific planning policy at the product life cycle phases and to optimise the cyclic planning policy at the product maturity phase. Specific software prototypes and applications are described in the pa...

The use of recycled materials reduces the need for primary materials and it also minimizes the amount of waste in the production process. Therefore, by using recycled materials, the total material flow necessary for the production of a product can be reduced. Moreover, the total consumption of resources for the production of recycled material is, usually, remarkably inferior that in the product...

over the years we have witnessed the growing importance of supply chain operations and supply chain management (scm), as supply chains play a major role in every step of the product life cycle. therefore, this paper will dea-based performance evaluation approaches for overall supply chain can be categorized. future perspectives and challenges are discussed

In this paper, we discuss the concept and principles of successful the total quality management (TQM) implementation. The paper briefly explains the similarities between software development process and product development process. In addition, overview quality measures during the software development life cycle (SDLC). Finally, the paper describes the Deming's quality management method and his...

Chemical product-process design challenges the developers to find designs that are not only technically and economically optimal but also environmentally acceptable. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool that helps to quantify the potential environmental impacts in order to select the optimal design from various feasible alternatives. This paper presents a new LCA software, LCSoft, which is exc...
