Análise de resíduos no processo de blistagem de comprimidos através do Controle Estatístico de Processo.

In the blister packaging process, the formation of waste is almost inevitable, given the dynamics and type of raw material used in the system. In this study, an analysis of blister waste in the blistering process was carried out in the multipurpose solids Division of a pharmaceutical laboratory, with respect to the type of blister-packing machine used in the process, the characteristics of the product manufactured, the main factors involved in the generation of waste and the amount of waste in the batches analyzed. The SPC tool was used to analyze the results. Despite all the variations found in the graphical analysis of stability and process capacity, all batches complied with the pharmacopeial specifications. However, there is evidence that the process should be improved and could be made more efficient, generating savings for the company. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
