The switch was also simple. The
company just followed its standard
change-control procedures, and the
coated punches require no special
care. Given the success with its
ibuprofen tablets, the company has
asked I Holland to generate TSAR
Predict reports for all its tabletted
products to see whether adding coated
punches would improve those manu-
facturing operations, too.
According to the production man-
ager, "Since the introduction of the
coated tooling all of the sticking issues
have disappeared. What used to take a
week now takes roughly 3.5 days. We
are obviously delighted with this as it
has enabled us to double the capacity
available on that press." T&C
