About the book:
Kaizen procedures evolved in the automobile industry. Therefore, most of Kaizen literature, publications, books, cite Kaizen implementation in factories such as Toyota, Ford, Mazda and the like. But work practices within pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech industry are different from the auto sector.
For example- Regulations, customer demands, competitor landscape, product criteria, facility needs, EHS (environmental, healthy & safety) needs as well as employee skills within pharmaceutical (medical devices and biotech) companies are extremely stringent and totally different from the automobile industry.
Moreover, auto industry manufacturing is 'assembly-based' while in pharmaceuticals and other life sciences companies, manufacturing is 'batch production-based'. Additionally, pharma industry 4.0 have automated and/or automatic production processes popularly known as 'continuous manufacturing' techniques. Therefore, Kaizen practices 'as is' from auto sector won’t work for pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech organizations. Kaizen concepts must be customized for life science industries, to achieve its full benefits. So far, there is no book on Kaizen that is customized for pharmaceuticals and other life sciences industries.
For over a decade, the author, Dr. Shruti Bhat has successfully completed more than 450 Kaizen, Lean Six Sigma and other continuous improvement projects worldwide within pharmaceuticals and healthcare sectors and felt it will be beneficial to share those techniques and her experiences, thus this book.
In addition to explaining the general Kaizen process features, implementation, and application, this book also provides a structured approach to designing Kaizen campaigns and its strategic implementation for pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech companies.
This book demystifies Kaizen and helps business leaders in pharma and all life sciences organizations, irrespective of their size or workplace culture. It provides practical and useful EXAMPLES and CASE STUDIES of Kaizen that can be executed at various levels across the organization as well as for an individual to further his/her personal career.
This book will help business leaders to immediately improve corporate revenues, increase market share, improve manufacturing productivity and product quality. Moreover, this book helps you customize Kaizen to your company; this book is not a ‘vanilla generic’.
