Site Master PlanningPlanning Rationale Serious investment – long project duration – good long
term planning essential Planning, and even investment frequently required
before product goes into phase 3 Combination of specific and generic elements –
flexibility essential Assume full scope site including fill/ finish even though
later is frequently separate
3
Site Master Planning
Assumptions Product and Process ranges have been agreed We have completed a build/ buy/ outsource analysis and
have noted current world capacity position Focus on Monoclonals and our process will follow broad
Mab guidelines Our broad philosophies are established in terms of:
GMP, Single v’s Multi-product, Expandability etc
4
Site Master PlanningPrerequisites Defined product characteristics Broad product demand parameters e.g. dose, patients
population etc Our market potential and penetration Broad process parameters Location philosophy Scope of investment on our site Site selection is nor a prerequisite for master planning
5
Site Master PlanningSite Scope Filling process and process utilities are core, usually in
single building Site usually includes process development, QA, QC,
warehouse, utilities, personnel facilities and technical management are needed
Fill finish (stages from bulk to dose form) are optional as are packaging and distribution
R&D, high level admin, finance, sales, etc are optional. Decision between ‘flagship facility’ and ‘lean, mean’ functional unit’ is essential early
6
Site Master PlanningFlexibility, Expandability, Future Proofing Key decisions are needed here – must be a cap! Define how much to install, how much to provide space
for, how much to service for? Philosophy on expandability, modularity, flexibility is
needed Define modularity – can range from slotting in a serviced
vessel to stand alone modular segments These decisions are fundamental, they can determine
the success or failure of the facility and must be in the context of 5 years in the future
7
Site Master PlanningDetermine Site Requirements Sizing is based on output requirements. These derive
from dose x patient population and this applies to all facility levels (pilot, chemical, full scale)
Dose may be in vials, pre-filled syringes or other forms. Main form is lyophilised product in vials.
Separate logistics apply to sizing fill/ finish facility including formulation, bulk preparation, filling, lyophilization
8
Site Master PlanningSizing & Shaping SMP is a collection of ‘boxes’ of varying size and shape
arranged in a functional, orderly and aseptically pleasing configuration
Sizing individual boxes requires analysis of the process requirements, sizing and arranging the equipment and services and configuring the internal workings for optimal personnel and material movement
Arranging the boxes needs an analysis of inter box movements and requirements for adjacency, closeness etc. Expansion philosophy is applied here
9
Site Master PlanningBroad Rules Minimise process transfers – address CIP considerations Recognise basic contiguity needs e.g. airlocks, gowning areas,
autoclaves, sterilizers vs protected core All material movements should be under cover (link corridors) HVAC plant rooms should be above classified areas – minimise
duct runs Buffer Prep and clean utilities to be adjacent to process areas Design from process core outwards and from output
requirements backwards
10
Site Master PlanningConfiguration Philosophy Various layers are placed around production core –
based on proximity requirements Layers Adjoining Adjacent in same building Adjacent – linked by corridor Reasonably close – preferably covered access Remote
11
Site Master PlanningLayer 1 – Contiguous/ Adjoining Airlocks for materials/ components Secondary change areas Autoclaves and sterilisers CIP skids Process development/ pilot plant Air handlers and distribution Process drains In-process cold storage
12
Site Master PlanningLayer 2 – Same Building Clean utilities Buffer Preparation QA In-Process Lab Some personnel facilities on large site
13
Site Master Planning
Layer 3 – Adjacent Warehouse – separate linked
building Cold Store – Central Primary change for operators Maintenance workshop Cafeteria
14
Site Master Planning
Layer 4 - Near - Preferably Linked QC labs Engineering HR Administration Security EHS
15
Site Master PlanningLayer 5 – Remote or Distributed Utilities - general - steam, comp air,
potable water, chilling, fire water Effluent treating Fire water storage and pumping Tank farms Car parks / roads Gas storage
16
Site Master PlanningConfiguration Options Single Building – most economical but not good option
for large scale – limits expansion and mixes incompatible operations
Spin link corridor – probably ideal – buildings attached on 2 sides – can extend length and travel distances if expansion space is required
Rectangular loop link – also good – again can limit expansion but reduces some travel distances
Radial – good concept but impractical for implementation
17
Site Master PlanningBuffer Make Up Separate areas for filling and
buffer make up Requires solids handling
capability Generally all buffer solutions are
presented aseptically to Formulation/ Filling
Area adjacent to Formulation/ Filling
18
Site Master PlanningOther Considerations Chilled Vessels for storage Intermediate cold storage Possible separate air handling systems Separate entry and exit facilities for materials and
personnel Decontamination of exiting clothing and equipment Later stages require aseptic handing and freezing
facilities
19
Site Master Planning
Sizing Buffer Make Up Requires prep and hold vessels Material handling and dust control Transfer by aseptic filtration
20
Site Master PlanningSizing Process Utilities WFI requirements calculated on flows demands and
minimum circulation rates Storage vessels can be 10-20m3 – required balanced
calculation between storage and generation CIP demands determine capacities – high instant flow
rates Clean Steam based on max SIP load – usually empty
vessel – made from clean steam Clean gases based on process demands and some
transfers – all filtered
21
Site Master Planning
General Utilities Normally located centrally – CUB concept Allow for pipe-racks (usually in link corridors) Includes steam, chilling, cooling, compressed air, power,
effluent treatment
22
Site Master PlanningUtilities Sizing – Ranges Steam 40-60 tons/ hr @ 0 bar Chilling 20-30 MW Cooling 40-60 MW Compressed Air 4,000-6,000 Nm3 / hr Divide all into modules – min 3 equal sized units Power 20-30 MVA – Supply at
H.T.
23
Site Master PlanningBuilding Sizes - Ranges Sizing based on previous slides – boxes must be sized before
being arranged Multi-floor arrangements more economical within reason In all cases, top floor for plant with prospect of additional plant
space on 1 side Crude sizes for 100,000L facility approx, 60,000 – 80,000 m2
Bulk Production/ DSP 20,000m2 (3-4 floors) Fill/ Finish 10,000 – 15,000m2 (3 floors) Warehouse 10,000 m2 (1 floor @ 12m) CUB 5,000 – 10,000 m2 (1 floor) Development 9,000m2 (3 floors) Admin 5,000 – 10,000 m2 (3 floors)
24
Site Master PlanningExpansion Clear policy needed – otherwise high ‘fuzz’ potential Built space essential to avoid future disruption Adjacent space needed for all functions Constructability of expansion needs some study even at
GMP: stage
