Plunging into Six Sigma
Artificial intelligence and automation may sound sexy, but when it comes to maintaining quality in pharmaceutical manufacturing, nothing really tops taking an organized, risk-based approach to eliminating human error.
Matthew Paquette, operational excellence manager for Charles River Laboratories International, Inc., is heading up a team to do just that at the company’s microbial solutions business facility in Charleston, S.C.
Specifically, the team is introducing Lean Six Sigma principals, according to Paquette, who has a master’s degree in Six Sigma/Quality Management.
