Despite the persistent demand for medical products, pharmaceutical companies can no longer rely solely on their innovative power and pricing in order to continue to grow profitably. Increasing competitive pressure, rising costs for the development of new products, uncertain regulatory interventions: The pharmaceutical industry is subject to its very own dynamics and poses major challenges for the stakeholders. Correct and optimised processes are crucial in order to have success in this industry. Because only those who master their processes also master their business and the associated risks and challenges.
Process optimisation in the pharmaceutical industry
Especially in the pharmaceutical industry, historically evolved processes are usually not reviewed and optimised continuously. In most cases, processes are only adjusted due to inspections by authorities to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This often leads to inefficient and cost-intensive processes in companies without a corresponding value-added benefit.
A permanent and systematic Process optimisation in the pharmaceutical industry can provide a remedy: The quality of the processes and manufactured products improve, as do the efficiency of the processes and systems and the benefit-cost ratio of the processes and systems.
The experienced REFA International AG consultants know the high challenges in the pharmaceutical industry and help you with excellent advice and active support to implement process optimisations in your company - and thus to identify and comprehensively tap optimisation potentials.

High quality through optimised processes
In the production of high-quality medicines, striving for consistent quality in all areas of production is the overarching aim of a clearly defined approach to process optimisation. Processes should be simplified and streamlined to increase their efficiency and effectiveness and reduce human error. Although this involves effort, it enables pharmaceutical companies to meet the increasing requirements of customers and authorities for ever more efficient and flexible production processes.
Our consultants, who not only have the necessary specialist and industry knowledge, but also contribute their many years of experience from various consulting projects, design optimal solutions for your company with the resources available. To implement the measures and achieve the best possible results, we combine and adapt process optimisation methods of the Lean Management.
