With a highly competitive market, apart from the factor that determines quality, the ability of a pharmaceutical industry production capacity to expand the global market will be a determinant factor. This encourages the company to apply strategies to fulfill the real and the future demand, one of them is using the Lean Manufacturing approach. The purpose of this study is to identify the production capacity in pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia in the form of a case study and to get a solution to improve production capacity through the Lean Manufacturing approach. The methodologies used in the study of production capacity improvement are observation, interview and the study of the data and procedures that apply in the company. Observations and interviews were conducted to examine major issues and root cause analysis through the analysis of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and seven wastes. The results showed that the problems that occur in low production capacity are the presence of a process that creates a bottle neck in the process of formulation and filling line as there is only one line for the filling capacity vial that supports two formulation lines and there is only one shift work and there is a gap on the batch size of production to the needs of the global market. Recommendations given to reduce seven waste that is identified in formulation and filling line are such as such as piping installations for bulk transfer to the charging process, the implementation of electronic Batch Production Record (eBPR), the Process Control is done directly in production area, installation tunnel system for depyrogenization process, increase filling capacity, addition of 2 working groups and addition of new production facilities to meet the greater world market in the future. The value of this research is to improve production capacity by reducing the problem of waste identified seven waste in both processed formulation and filling process. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]CGMP,Competitive markets,Determinant factors,Lean manufacturing,Pharmaceutical industry,Production capacity,Root cause analysis,Value stream mapping[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]7 wastes,CGMP,Indonesian pharmaceutical industry,Lean manufacturing[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
