Lean Six Sigmain Pharmaceutical ManufacturinggPharmaceutical Manufacturing Independent & isolated functions, divisionsand geographical units Complex processes, many non-value addedactivities Focus on end product, not on process - high rework rates Processes to be validatedNeed to focus on reducing waste and variability 2011 Waters Corporation3
