Six Sigma in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Understanding, Reducing, and Controlling Variation in Pharmaceuticals and Biologics
by Brian K. Nunnally

Six Sigma in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Understanding, Reducing, and Controlling Variation in Pharmaceuticals and Biologics is the first book to focus on the building blocks of understanding and reducing variation using the Six Sigma method as applied specifically to the pharmaceutical industry.

Features:

  • Describes the concept of reducing and controlling variation with the Six Sigma method specifically for the pharmaceutical industry
  • Provides case studies, charts and critical reviews of data to illustrate the concepts
  • Discusses practical applications within the pharmaceutical industry
  • Highlights regulatory compliance issues
  • Includes a one-point-learning summary and references at the end of each chapter

The book introduces the fundamentals of Six Sigma, examines control chart theory and practice, and explains the concept of variation management and reduction. Allowing other references to cover the structural elements of Six Sigma, this book focuses on core concepts and their implementation to improve the existing products and processes in the pharmaceutical industry.

The first half of the book uses simple models and descriptions of practical experiments to lay out a conceptual framework for understanding variation, while the second half introduces control chart theory and practice. Using case studies and statistics, the book illustrates the concepts and explains their application to actual workplace improvements.
