This document emphasizes the critical importance of designing quality into the tablet manufacturing process, as articulated by industry experts in 1965. It explores various compliance issues and development challenges related to the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, including environmental exposure, manufacturing technology, and the significance of raw materials such as APIs and excipients. The role of Analytical Process Technology (PAT) in enhancing efficiency and compliance is examined, alongside topics like dosage form uniformity and the impact of equipment choices on production outcomes.

Development/Compliance Issues (Tablets) “It is important to design quality into the process” 1965 - PMA spokesperson and T. Byers, FDA Hank Avallone Executive Director, Regulatory Compliance Pharmaceutical Sourcing Group Americas
Development/Compliance Issues • Environmental/Operator Exposure • Manufacturing Technology • Raw Materials - APIs/Excipients • Equipment - Closed/Cleanable • Operating Costs • Minimal Steps • Cycle Time
Development/Compliance Issues • Improvements using Analytical Technology (PAT) • Exposure of Flaws • Compliance • Nonconformances/Documentation Review • Dose Uniformity • Dissolution • Impurities
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) • Physical Form API • Prior to Milling - Major Validation Criteria [variability in the crystallization / manufacturing process can result in variability in the physical form and/or impurities of the API] • Dosage Form Formulation/API Developer Communication
Excipients • Minimum number in formulation • Excipient Blend Uniformity (dissolution variability) • Physical Form • tight specifications • multiple source / one grade
Equipment • Screen, Blend, Compress • Cleanable / Closed Systems • Bin vs. Fluid Bed • WIP Tablet Press
PAT • Identification of flaws in the process if the process is not properly developed
Compliance • Direct Compression Process • less steps, less variables, less opportunities for nonconformances • more complex process, more controls, more software, more information, longer review, longer cycle time, more WIP/Rejections
