PLANNING

Facility Planning Considerations

A well-planned production facility considers equipment footprint, material movement, personnel movement, cleaning access, utility requirements, and process separation.

Equipment configurations should be reviewed in the context of the intended production process and applicable quality and regulatory requirements.

  • 01

    Equipment footprint

    Clearances for operation, maintenance and cleaning around each unit.

  • 02

    Material movement

    A logical path from receipt and weighing through to packaging.

  • 03

    Personnel movement

    Routes and gowning that limit cross-traffic between process areas.

  • 04

    Cleaning access

    Surfaces and equipment positions that can be cleaned and inspected.

  • 05

    Utility requirements

    Power, water, compressed air, HVAC and extraction for each unit.

  • 06

    Process separation

    Segregation between dosage forms, products and process steps.
