These benefits include improved cycle times, lower scrap, lower capital costs and lower long-term maintenance costs. Additionally, the West Contract Manufacturing team has material experts that can identify the right materials for an application. Our design services include: Design Concept Development Design Exploration Mechanical Design Refinement Mechanical Design Release Design Verification Mold Flow Analysis Finite Element Analysis Cold Chain Solutions Make Cold Storage Less Complicated Temperature-sensitive drugs require storage solutions that not only meet the needs of the drug product, but also ensure compliance with regulatory guidelines in a properly monitored and sustained environment. Any deviation from the ideal environment can affect patient safety and jeopardize the drug’s quality, resulting in loss of potency, efficacy or even the need to discard the product entirely. West’s contract manufacturing group offers drug handling and cold chain solutions for pharmaceutical manufacturers that are looking for a complete integrated approach to device manufacturing and assembly. This helps ensure that drugs are stored within the desired temperature range throughout the cold chain, thereby reducing risk and improving production efficiencies. Clinical support Scalable solutions that support commercialization Drug Re-packaging Infrastructure to accommodate low to mid volume applications Cold chain services for drug stability Experience and capability specific to high-volume applications Serialization/Track and Trace UDI, sNDC, Custom Serialization Aggregation MES infrastructure Work cell history and analytics Product Design Where Concepts Become Reality Through strategic partnerships, the West Contract Manufacturing team offers a wide spectrum of product design services, including disposable product applications and electromechanical assemblies.
