Abstract
Efficient production of medical and pharmaceutical products in small batches – Adopting the well-established value stream method
The increasing individualization of medical and pharmaceutical products requires efficient production processes to produce small batch sizes economically. For this purpose, it is necessary to develop an understanding of individual processes and their logistical links and to identify optimization potentials methodically. Value stream mapping is a widely used method in the cargo industry. It allows a transparent representation and optimization of the holistic production system. This paper shows that the value stream method is generally applicable in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Some methodological adjustments, which are explained in detail, are necessary. Using the adopted value stream method, production processes can be accelerated, the performance of production processes can be optimally coordinated, and an economical production of smaller batches can be achieved.

Zusammenfassung
Die zunehmende Individualisierung von Medizin- und Pharmaprodukten erfordert effiziente Produktionsprozesse, um insbesondere kleine Losgrößen wirtschaftlich herstellen zu können. Dazu ist es notwendig, ein Verständnis für die einzelnen Prozesse und ihre logistischen Verknüpfungen zu entwickeln sowie mögliche Optimierungspotenziale zu
