Maintenance of equipment and machines, of all assets in a pharmaceutical production plant, must constantly be improved to achieve higher efficiency and lower the costs of maintenance activities. There is no single maintenance strategy. The best strategy depends on the complexity of the assets, their own criticality, process criticality and the cost of setting up and running the maintenance program.

In this session, we discuss:

• How can we further improve availability, performance and quality of our equipment and optimize our OEE?
• Where do you see the biggest gap or area for improvement?
• Do you perceive challenges on adopting innovative solutions with GxP compliance? Any recommendation?
• Have you integrated novel manufacturing technologies such as IoT, Augmented Reality, AI or Machine Learning?
• What are the most promising?
• What are you lacking?
• Are we having the right technologies to build solutions on? Or are we not there yet?
• Have you implemented an advanced digital platform for predictive and prescriptive maintenance?
