Flexibility in Design
- Adaptable to various uses and services within a facility.
- Simplifies clean-up processes and operations.
- Incorporates modulations for improved functionality.
Advantages of Good Plant Layout
-
For Workers:
- Reduces operations and material handling.
- Minimizes haul distances, decreasing production time.
- Enhances labor productivity – more output per hour.
- Increases safety, reducing accident risks.
- Improves working conditions and efficiency.
-
Manufacturing Costs:
- Decreases maintenance and replacement expenses.
- Minimizes waste and spoilage losses.
- Enhances product quality by reducing handling time.
- Facilitates better cost control.
-
Production Control and Supervision:
- Provides ample space for production activities.
- Efficient layout for raw material and finished goods management.
- Lowers supervision costs and effort.
- Improves storage facilities.
- Ensures optimal control and oversight at key operation points.
Premises Design
- Adequate space is essential for equipment and materials.
- Sequence of operations is critical to design phases, especially regarding equipment location.
Facility Design Requirements
- Internal temperature, ventilation, and lighting must be sufficient.
- Segregation of areas reduces cross-contamination risks.
Equipment Design Considerations
- Equipment surfaces should be smooth, inert, and easy to clean.
- Specialized equipment may require dedicated purposes to ease cleaning.
- Install pipes and ducts to avoid cleaning difficulties.
- Remove unnecessary equipment for efficiency.
Effective Airflow/Extraction and HVAC Design
- Directional airflow aids in preventing contamination.
- Control internal contaminants through airflow management.
- Maintain appropriate pressure differentials to ensure containment.
- Effective air filtration is critical for maintaining cleanroom standards.
- Ventilation dampers and filters should allow external access for maintenance.
HVAC System Design
- Dual Duct Air Handling Unit Components: Includes filters, supply and return fans, cooling and heating coils, humidifier, mixing box, and diffuser.
Manufacturing Process Contamination Control
- Minimize contamination risks through:
- Single formulation production where viable.
- Campaign manufacturing with qualified cleaning processes and checks.
- Use of closed manufacturing systems.
- Area line clearance after cleaning and between batches.
- Cleaning status labels for equipment and materials.
- Facility zoning.
Personnel Training and Clothing Standards
- Training is vital for ensuring good practices and consumer health responsibility.
- Employees must understand their roles through clear job descriptions.
- Regular GMP training and competency assessments are essential.
- Gowning and cleanliness underscored in personnel clothing protocols:
- Competency in gowning should be monitored.
- Employees should wear appropriate clothing for their working environment, including PPE.
Gowning Regulations
- Street clothes and personal items like watches and makeup are prohibited in GMP areas.
- Direct contact between operators and sensitive materials is to be avoided.
Cleaning Procedures
- Poor cleaning can lead to cross-contamination of batches.
- Cleaning procedures need to be:
- Designed based on product formulation and equipment functionality.
- Clearly documented and validated.
- Routine cleaning is necessary for all facility areas, including surfaces and air management systems.
Cleanroom HVAC Systems
- Cleanroom designs focus on equipment technology, filtration types, airflow distribution, and energy conservation.
Cleanroom Environmental Parameters
- Key parameters requiring control include:
- Temperature and humidity levels.
- Air cleanliness, pressure, and movement.
- Adequate lighting throughout the facility.
Cleanroom Environment Monitoring
- Regular testing includes air particle monitoring (every 6 months), HEPA filter integrity testing (yearly), and daily checks for temperature, humidity, and air pressure differentials.
