Abstract

Reliable product supply is one of the most critical missions of the pharmaceutical industry. The lead time, i.e. the duration between start and end of an activity, needs to be managed in any production facility in order to make scheduling predictable’ agile and flexible. We present a method for measuring and improving production lead time of ...
