This session focuses on the integration of spare-part management and maintenance strategies to optimize the operation of packaging and dispensing machines used across multiple pharmacies. With 40 machines in operation and the individual blisters barcoded and packed in magazines, it’s crucial to ensure both accuracy and efficiency in machine setup and maintenance. The session will explore how maintenance planning can be enhanced by considering machine setup from the start, and will cover the transition from preventive to predictive maintenance, with a focus on workflows and best practices for achieving higher uptime and reliability in pharmacy operations. In this session, you will learn how to:

• Implement best practices for spare-part management across 40 machines in multiple pharmacy locations.
• Optimize packaging and dispensing machines through custom machine building and tailored solutions.
• Enhance accuracy and efficiency by aligning maintenance strategies with machine setup from the outset.
• Navigate the transition from preventive to predictive maintenance, including strategies, challenges, and workflows.
