dc.description.abstractThis project aims to solve the problem of the pharmaceutical companies' excessive use of RODAC and STA plates, which increases waste production and negatively affects the environment. The study uses a thorough methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative research to find the causes of these plates' excessive use and suggests waste reduction techniques. The technique consists of data gathering to estimate plate usage and related expenses, interviews to understand the current usage, and a literature review to investigate current practices. The results will be used to modify and intervene in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes to minimize plate usage and increase efficiency and sustainability. This initiative aims to promote eco-friendly methods in the pharmaceutical sector, which will enhance resource management and lessen environmental impact. Key Terms - Continuous Improvement, Process Optimization, Sustainability, Waste Reduction.
