Bilthoven Biologicals

Workshop 1:

A contamination has been found in the Bio1500B… Production is at a standstill. In a small group you will work to determine the deviation using the provided documentation. What should you look at? What information is relevant and how do you organize it to see where the deviation is in the process? With the help of professionals, you will learn to interpret information and look for the problem. Duration: 1 hour

Workshop 2:

BBio produces BCG for Medac. Over the years, Medac has evolved from a pharmaceutical company to an internationally recognized business group for oncology, among other things.
Due to the growth of Medac, they want BBio to produce more BCG. The MS&T department was therefore asked to investigate whether the BCG yield could be increased by implementing process changes. Who do you need within a company to make such a project a success? Which colleagues, specialists and departments are involved in a project such as increasing production scale? In a small group you discover how a company can be structured and which colleagues and departments are involved from start to finish.
