Lean Innovation, Hoshin Kanrii and Six Sigma (as DFSS) for Product Design, Development and Manufacture via 3D Printing; a Case Study

2/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Lean Innovation, Hoshin Kanrii and Six Sigma (DFSS- design for six sigma) for product design, development and manufacture via 3D Printing (i.e. Additive Manufacturing) Case Study by Dr. Shruti Bhat, gives benefits of applying Hoshin Kanrii, DFSS and Lean Innovation techniques to a drug product design, development and manufacture via 3D Printing.

The study findings however can be extended to product development across other industry verticals.

Some of the benefits of applying continuous improvement methodologies such as Lean, Hoshin Kanrii and Six Sigma to research and product development include-
​
  1. Application of Hoshin Kanrii and DFSS along with Quality-by-Design (QbD) to product development usually brings novelty in product features, process characteristics and/or product utility, thus favors patenting and generation of additional revenues.
  2. While, Lean Innovation creates products with effective and efficient production and packaging processes, with no scope for ‘rework’ thus, better Operations Management.

​The study uses Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) as model drug, although other drugs can also be used in this therapeutic platform.

2x3 Factorial Design of Experimentation (DOE) was used to design drug beads. The results were evaluated for regression analysis, Main and interaction effects of parameters, Contrast Column Dispersion effects, Normal Probability Plots, Pareto and Process Capability Analysis.

The drug beads were further used as ‘starter’ seeds to develop MUPS (multi-unit particulate system) anti-angina ‘rate-programmed’ drug product.

The pharmacokinetic- pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modeling was done using Doebrinska- Welling equation. MUPS were developed using 3D Printing technology via a 12- Run Plackett Burman DOE.

All hardware, software applications involved in the study were pre-validated. All qualifications i.e. Design Qualification (DQ), Installation Qualification (IQ),  Operational Qualification (OQ), Performance Qualification (PQ) for each experimental run was done as per USFDA guidelines. Data was analysed statistically using Paired ‘t’ test. Reliability Testing was conducted as per ICH current Good Clinical Practices (cGCP) guidelines.

Product prototype and Reference listed drug (RLD) were compared for bioequivalence compliance. The prototype is ready for commercialization.

This study also gives benefits of using 3D Printing technique for pharmaceuticals and how the technique can be applied to product development across other industry verticals!

Continuous Improvement in Cancer Therapy & Healthcare System Services

1/23/2019

0 Comments

 
continuous improvement in cancer therapy, continuous innovation, shruti bhat global business excellence and continuous improvement leader
Today I read a report in Stat News about the first ‘digital pill’ that has been rolled out at a Cancer Treatment center in Minnesota US. The report mentions how chemotherapy pills taken by cancer patients are packaged with a sensor that can alert a physician, pharmacist, or caregiver after the pill has been swallowed.

The report highlights that seven patients — all of whom have colorectal cancer in stage 3 or stage 4 and are being treated in Minnesota — have been provided with this treatment. The idea is that, by tracking when patients take their drugs, health care providers will be better able to ensure medication adherence and to provide treatment guidance, with the goal of improving health outcomes.

How does digital pill work?:

After patients swallow a chemo capsule, the sensor gets activated once capsule gets damp in the stomach fluids. The sensor then pings a signal to a patch worn by patients on their torso; which transmits data on the time of day, the size of the dose, and the type of medication taken to an online portal that the patient can view. If patients choose to allow it, their support team can access this database portal too.

This program in Minnesota appears to be the first one in which a digital pill has been used in oncology. So far, neither patients nor insurers pay anything beyond the typical cost of the medication for this high-tech upgrade.

This news sparked my interest for several reasons-

  1. As there is high proliferation of cancer disease world-wide, such digitization of cancer therapy will hopefully bring benefits to a wider population of cancer patients.
  2. Despite advances in Oncology, not everything about cancer is understood by researchers, doctors, patients and care givers. The resulting effect is that there is no cure for cancer, especially once cancer has metastasized or is beyond stage 2. Another peculiarity of cancer is that no two types of cancer are same, hence medications and their dosages administered to cancer patients are different. For example, dosage of Tarceva tablets prescribed for a lung cancer patient is different from what is prescribed for a patient with pancreatic cancer. However, the digitization platform done for chemotherapy of colo-rectal cancer can be researched further to extend to other cancer types, which can yield better patient compliance, superior therapeutic modeling and better treatment outcomes to a wider patient population.
  3. Additionally, this concept of  'digital pill' can be extended to other disease types too, where patient compliance has always been a problem; for example Tuberculosis, Schizophrenia, hypertension etc. Drug-resistant tuberculosis is worse to treat than regular TB. Hence, a digital TB pill will be  a boon for patients and doctors alike. Similarly, patients forgetting to take their blood pressure pill is usual, especially among older folks. Such non-compliance issues can hopefully be nipped in the bud with digital pharmaceuticals for hypertension.  
  4. Such digital pills can substitute the health system services which invest in phone calls and other reminders to patients to help them stay on track with their medications.

'Digital' pill is not only an impressive step in Continuous Improvement for Cancer Therapy, it is a significant step in Continuous Improvement for Health System services too! and, hopefully pave way for Continual Improvement in TB care, hypertension management and patient-centric drug product design.

kaizen for leaders by dr shruti bhat, a continuous improvement tool to increase profits and organizational excellence
Kaizen for Leaders: A Continual Improvement Tool to Increase Profit & Organizational Excellence is the eighth book of ‘Business Process Management Systems and Continuous Improvement Executive Guide Series.

If you want results fast, then Kaizen is the way …

​​Kaizen has mainly been used in Japan and many other SE Asian companies and in Europe. Up until now, it has not gained enough significance in North America, because of which it has not been utilized to its full potential.

The root cause is the difference in work culture and corporate governance styles of companies in eastern and western countries; this book eliminates this gap.

Kaizen requires very less investment, therefore can be implemented to its full potential not only in small & mid-size companies but even in startups.

​Kaizen following companies can have minimal failures!

This book is an invaluable resource, an essential tool for all business owners, CEOs, other executives and all professionals, who want to update themselves about Kaizen and to discover how Kaizen can help them achieve their business’s goals rapidly …
