Risk Engineering: Why Are Pharmaceutical Plants Different?

It is estimated that worldwide damage to pharmaceutical products due to temperature variations alone is around $35 billion according to recognised global studies. Additionally, considerable damage is caused by mishandling and other process failures during shipment of pharmaceutical products from manufacturers through channels to end users in large medical centres.

This webinar will explain the methods used in shipment of pharmaceutical products identifying visible and invisible risks in the process. The speaker will explain how to assess risk of damage to products starting with damages during pre-shipment preparation and conditioning stage at the manufacturer through storage, transportation and final delivery to destination.

The host will use actual case studies from previous experience to describe the process of investigating the root cause of damage to products and determining the responsible party.
