Project with Hovione

The work in collaboration with the company Hovione, focuses on improving efficiency and productivity of quality control (QC), by better planning, scheduling and optimizing the use of resources. The labs are critical components in drug manufacturing and can have a major impact on the overall supply chain service level. Given the high mix of products and laboratory tests it is important to develop effective strategies for lab management, which includes personnel and equipment scheduling, laboratory information management, stock optimization. The intention with this project is to develop a novel method for quality control laboratory management. This method has to deal with high complexity in terms of product mix and analytical techniques performed in QC labs, and has to be flexible and robust to future changes in the quality control system. New theoretical concepts for analysis techniques modelling and control will be developed.
