Optimization of Manual Cleaning Verification Process for Filling Machine

Abstract

The project aims to improve upon the existing process flow of the Manual Cleaning Verification process in Kalbio Global Medika, with a focus on decreasing the soaking time of the sodium hydroxide used in the MCV process. The project is important as an optimized process flow means a faster production time and increases the profitability of the production cycle. The current process flow was analyzed and then optimized to reduce the time taken and a trial was performed to confirm the validity of the analysis. The result of the trial was compared with the commercial run to compare the degree of improvement in the process of MCV. The findings indicate that the decrease of sodium hydroxide soaking time, washing, and soaking time using purified water and Water for Injection does not have a negative effect on the specifications of the machine parts, Future recommendations suggest research into increased sodium hydroxide concentration as well as an autonomous process for the washing process.
