Facilities
As with the product range, BOC Edwards is continually upgrading
its US and European facilities and investing in technology to
improve operational effectiveness. The sites are linked via a
computer network which facilitates integrated control of international
projects. All design is performed on CAD systems and new manufacturing
and financial control systems assure data security compliance
to latest standards.
Both of BOC Edwards' facilities are approved to ISO 9001 Quality
standards for the design, manufacture and installation of primary
packaging equipment for the pharmaceutical industry. The facilities
also operate a formal scheme of health and safety at work and
are currently involved in environmental programs which resulted
in ISO 14000 registration in the year 2000.
Project Management
One of the major strengths of BOC Edwards Pharmaceutical Systems
is project management. All operations activities within the business
which are associated with a customer order are managed as discrete
projects by an appointed project manager. Within this environment,
departments exist to provide functional integrity and to resource
the projects. The project management capability that has been
developed underpins BOC Edwards' reputation for timely delivery
of even the most complex projects which require substantial technological
development.
Business Philosophy
BOC Edwards is positioned at the high technology end of aseptic
packaging applications. Continuous product development is maintained,
including an advanced program which challenges existing fundamental
concepts and helps define the direction for future aseptic technologies.
The approach of those in front-line sales roles is solution-oriented;
sales and applications personnel with an understanding of pharmaceutical
processing will work with customers to provide integrated, validated
solutions and not simply offer for sale individual pieces of equipment.
This is exemplified by the fact that BOC Edwards operates laboratory
facilities for supporting customers' freeze drying cycle development
requirements and for performing liquid and powder filling evaluation.
Customer support is paramount and each business territory is
able to support the products provided by either of the manufacturing
locations. In recent years, BOC Edwards has promoted preferred
supplier agreements and now operates such philosophies with key
customers around the world.
The mission of BOC Edwards Pharmaceutical Systems is to be the
world's leading supplier of primary packaging equipment by providing
advanced technology products and services of the highest quality
to ensure long-term customer satisfaction and loyalty.
