Project: POTABLE WATER SAMPLING FREQUENCY REDUCTION Production units : Gemba :QCM Lab Location : campus
Status : Before Kaizen
31 potable water sampling points tested for Total viable count and pathogens {number of tests-6] once in 15 days
Evidence on the possible risk involved in reducing the testing frequency was gathered and recommendation of any control measure required on the risk identified for 31 potable water sampling points located at SFP, IFP, PFP and other facility was identified.
Actions Taken During Kaizen

Results & Benefits Summary
Process Map Before & After Kaizen
Risk assessment being performed by assessing the mode of failure with control measures.
Risk rating being evaluated by multiplying the risk level (severity) with available control measures.
Based on the assessment sampling points was recommended for a sampling frequency of once a month
Previous After kaizen Total sampling points analyzed = 31 points analyzed for every 15
days Total sampling points analyzed = 31 points analyzed
for every one month
Media Cost : for each analysis 160/- Rs. 160 * 31 (sampling points) = 4960/- * 2 (monthly twice) = 9920/- 4960/- per month
Filter paper: For Each analysis 10/- Rs 10* 155(no. of filter papers for 31 sampling points) = 1550/- (for 15
days) * 2 = 3100/- per month 1550/- per month
Man Power : For each analysis 20minutes 20 * 31 (sampling points) = 620 minutes for 15 days
620 * 2 = 1240 minutes per month or 20.6 hr. 10.3 hours per month
HDPE Sampling Bottles : For each analysis 1 bottle per sampling point = 12/- per bottle
12 * 31 = 372/- Rs. For 15 days , 372*2 = 744/- 372/- per month
Total Cost = 1,65,168/- Total Time = 247.2 hr. per year
Total Cost = 82,584/- Total Time = 123.6 hr. per year

Project :BMR REVISION Production units : NA Gemba :QCM Lab Location : campus
Status : Before Kaizen Actions Taken During Kaizen
Results & Benefits Summary Process Map Before & After Kaizen
BMR is lengthy and time consuming to fill them
Repetitive entries
Signatures required in many place
Media preparation activity stage wise
Sterilization chart pasted in BMR -duplication of autoclave log book
Park BMRs revised
Campus BMRs - 16 numbers Reduction in number of pages, consolidation of raw material entry, media preparation activity for SF and IF combined, number of signatures reduced. Repetitive text removed Expected to be complete by 15/09/2013
Biological BMRs -7 numbers Documentation time reduced by 60%; Preprinting of entries, number of signatures reduced
Cost savings for paper & printing to be estimated
Reduction in Autoclave cycle therefore savings of power
Manual entries reduced, thereby reducing errors, time.
Eg Tacrolimus Seed inoculum development checklist will be reduced from 27 pages to about 16-17 pages
Before
Lengthy BMR
Media preparation separate for each
stage
After
Reduced pages
Combined media preparation for all
stages
Reduced

Project :CLOSED INOCULATION PROCEDURE FOR FERMENTERS Production units : SFP, IFP Gemba :QCM Lab Location : campus
Status : Before Kaizen Actions Taken During Kaizen
Results & Benefits Summary
Small Molecules & Biologicals- Inoculation of fermenters was done using inoculation needle, which was essentially an open setup which required flaming before inoculating the fermenter
Introduction of closed system, comprising of male and female connectors which are connected in a sterile manner, no exposure to the surrounding environment Biological- Replaced the glass transfer flask with the Heavy duty vacuum bottle with sterile connectors since inoculum volume is less
Inoculum which is the basis for the start up for fermentation is not exposed to the external non clean environment
Removal of flame- safety aspect Presence of sterile filter assures sterility

Project :REPLACEMENT OF COTTON PLUGS WITH SCREW CAPS Production units : NA Gemba :QCM Lab Location : campus
Status : Before Kaizen Actions Taken During Kaizen
Results & Benefits Summary Process Map Before & After Kaizen
Cotton plugs were used for all the flasks and bottles used
Cost for Cotton usage annually 55508 INR
Replaced the cotton with the screw cap bottles
Cost savings 1st year 35252 INR Cost savings 2nd year onwards - ~ 1 lakh
INR choking of the return air grills of the
Biosafety cabinet with cotton fibers is avoided

Project :FILTER INTEGRITY TESTING TRANSFERRED TO PRODUCTION Production units : SFP Gemba :QCM Lab Location : campus
Status : Before Kaizen Actions Taken During Kaizen
Results & Benefits Summary
QC Microbiology was testing integrity of filters used in the fermentation as well as downstream process in production
Total Number of filters tested -450 in five months Documentation involved One analyst used to be completely deputed for
this activity
Transferred the filter integrity testing to production since it does not involve any microbiology science Training of production personnel
Reduced one man power requirement which resulted in saving 1.98 Lakhs Documentation reduced

Project :HARMONIZATION OF PCG SOPs Production units : NA Gemba :QCM Lab Location : campus
Status : Before Kaizen Actions Taken During Kaizen
Results & Benefits Summary
20 SOPs for the MCB and WCB were being maintained Procedure was common but the documents were maintained strain wise
SOPs reduced to 3 numbers Strain details entered in Annexure
SOP preparation for new strains can be avoided Change controls reduced Maintenance of documents becomes simpler and easier to track

Project :STOP IN USAGE OF FLAME IN BIOSAFETY CABINETS Production units : NA Gemba :QCM Lab Location : campus/PARK
Status : Before Kaizen Actions Taken During Kaizen
Results & Benefits Summary
Used flame for all the aseptic activities handled in the BSC
Complete removal of usage of flame inside the BSC
Safety compliance
No disturbance in the air flow, no turbulence caused because there will be no heat generated in the cabinet
Usage of gas cylinders reduced
