Embracing “Eleventh Hour” Updates: Just-In-Time Scheduling for Pilot Plants (EU)

Pharmaceutical pilot plants are integral to drug development and commercialization, providing critical data for scientists and producing material for early- and mid- stage clinical trials. Today, these facilities struggle to meet the highly varied demands for capacity, as well as last-minute changes to schedules.

In this webinar, we’ll look at how a new approach to scheduling – “Just-In-Time” or JIT Scheduling – is allowing Pilot plants to react in minutes to changes to project setups, prioritizations and equipment availability. This method of scheduling - based on other “JIT” approaches from other disciplines - allows teams to rapidly evaluate changes to capacity and automatically re-optimize across the entire line-up of work. Join us to see how this exciting new technology can solve the critical need for agile, adaptive pilot plant capacity in the pharmaceutical industry.

3 Key Take-Aways
- JIT Scheduling benefits including 10+% increases in projects per month and a reduced ‘frozen window’ for orders from 3 weeks to just 3 hours ahead of project start
- Specific ways pilot plants can use JIT Scheduling to quickly manage changes to priorities
- Practical steps for how to implement the JIT Scheduling technology in a pilot plant
