Case study – Expertise for the development of predictive models for pharmaceutical tabletting

RHEONIS provided its hybrid expertises regarding process industrial science, know-how for investigating scientific litterature, techniques for data analyse and interpretation and its experience in R&D strategy.

Following actions have been taken in the context of this expertise:

1. Client’s need analysis and building of the Sow of the expertise
2. Phenomenological analysis of tabletting process and scientific litterature study of existing models, influencing factors and hierarchy of correlations
3. Client’s data analysis with hybrid physical/statistical techniques following models and phenomena
4. Brainstorming for R&D strategy
5. Synthesis report, incluing scientific opinion about project feasability and recommendations for R&D
6. Debriefing meeting and discussion about next steps

Our expertise provided a critical, scientific and neutral opinion on the feasability of its ambitious project. We identified uncertainties and risks but also stable grounds and promising options.

Our hybrid approach, combining science, data analysis, industrial phenomenology and powders expertise, allowed to build and suggest R&D paths for progressively remove risks and orient the project towards its success.
