Lean Six Sigma, a globally accepted set of tools, techniques and project management practices is applied across various types of industries. It is also applied to the industry which supports our lives – the pharmaceutical industry.

Going by a process oriented approach, maintaining quality and regulatory standards are vital for pharma industries. Different parameters like value (service and cost), customers (internal customers, patients, doctors, regulators, health care providers, etc.) and quality (patient safety, fit for use) must be taken into account in the process flow. And all these will result into maximum effectiveness of the plant realizing the maximum ROI.
