Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the meaning of ‘process loss’ in pharmaceutical manufacturing?

Ans: Process loss is the amount of material that is lost during manufacturing processes like blending, dispensing, compression, coating or packaging.

Q. What is the acceptable process loss percentage?

Ans: The acceptable process loss is dependent on the product and at what stage of manufacturing. Lower process losses are better process efficiency and process control.

Q. Why is it important to have process loss monitoring?

Ans: Process loss monitoring can help detect material losses, enhance yields, optimize manufacturing efficiency and enable GMP compliance.

Q. What is the difference between process loss and yield?

Ans: Process loss refers to the loss of material during manufacturing and yield is the percentage of material that can be recovered from the production process.
