Process Architecture, Lean Manufacturing, and Simulation in Life Sciences
Process architects strive to develop a cost-effective facility that will be efficiently operated. The ideal is described in Lean manufacturing terms as minimizing non-value-added activities. The approach to “Lean” can be quantified using a model and simulations, including the facility layout and expected process variability.
