and decreased the variability of time to completion.
The Hobart site's Packaging
Serialization Project was an award winner in the Engineering
& Production Technology Leadership category for its achievement
in upgrading the facility's packaging lines, which enabled
production of fully serialized pharmaceutical finished product with
full pallet aggregation two years ahead of FDA requirements.
"We are very pleased that NAM's Leadership Council has
recognized our Hobart site for
manufacturing leadership in operational excellence, as well as
engineering and production technology," said David Hollingshead, Senior Director of
