An eye drop production case study is firstly modelled based on a pharmaceutical production plant. Throughput analysis is next utilised to identify process bottlenecks that limit the increase of production and to evaluate different debottlenecking schemes. Scheme 1 considers an effort to maximise process throughput for a single batch operation, while Schemes 2 and 3 explore the possibility of minimising combined utilisation value of the process bottleneck. With the increase of batch throughput, installation of a new labelling process and the addition of an intermediate tank, Scheme 3 is identified as the debottlenecking scheme that achieves the increased production demand of 25%. 2011-09-04T00:56:31Z 2011-09-04T00:56:31Z 2008-12 Article The Journal of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia, vol. 68(4), 2008, pages 30-37 0126-513X http://myiem.org.my/content/iem_journal_2008-179.aspx http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/13626 en The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia
