Engineering & ASTM E2500 deployment for a biopharmaceutical group

Context and challenges

The client is a European Biopharmaceutical Corporation going through large CAPEX projects.
This group had an internal dedicated engineering team (> 20 field engineers) who faced heterogeneity in engineering documentation and practices. The company needed to enhance knowledge based on engineering good practices.
The project aimed at:

Developing a suite of engineering guidelines describing key development phases, which could be immediately used and deployed on project
Defining a roadmap to improve engineering best practices over-time

Assystem Care was appointed to support the engineering department in order to improve current engineering standards and set up project management easy-to-use set of tools.

Project scope

Set up of a project plan with the customer, focusing on selected key systems
Project scoping, identification of targets, project plan, milestones and key deliverables
Development of a 10-step roadmap, split in 15 individual engineering modules
Use of a specific tool, a smart platform, part of the Apollo solutions (KorteX), comprising the latest engineering guidelines. The documentation and tools integrated the most recent quality and compliance standards

Client benefits

Optimal flexibility for engineering project plans, with the ability to use these modules individually or combined with each other
Development of visual instructions as part of the packages, in order to ensure smooth and efficient deployment within the teams and to avoid any potential quality and/or engineering issues
Improvement of client knowledge in terms of engineering, enabling teams to manage next revisions of documentation
