1. Compliance with regulatory requirements: The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated, and any facility must comply with strict regulations for safety, quality, and contamination control.
2. Contamination control: Contamination of any kind can compromise the quality of pharmaceutical products. Therefore, the facility should be designed to minimize contamination through adequate air filtration, dust-free flooring, and appropriate personnel hygiene measures.
3. Process flow: The facility should be designed in such a way that it accommodates the manufacturing and logistical processes.
4. Adequate space: The facility must have sufficient space to accommodate equipment, personnel, and product storage.
5. Material handling: Handling of raw material and finished products is crucial, and the facility should have an optimal layout for movement of materials, smooth handling, and minimize contamination.
6. Utilities: The facility requires utilities such as purified water, steam, and electricity, which must be provided in adequate quantities and in a timely manner.
7. HVAC system: The HVAC system should provide the desired temperatures and humidity levels to ensure the safety and performance of the manufacturing process.
8. Flexibility: The facility must be designed with the ability to adapt to future changes in the production process while still meeting regulatory requirements.
9. Environmental impact: The facility design should take sustainability practices into consideration to minimize environmental impact.
10. Security: Manufacturing pharmaceutical products is a high-security task, so the facility must have an adequate security infrastructure.
