Production OSD: Coating Operator
Coating Machine Operation & Setup: Set up,adjust,and operate automated tablet coating machinery (e.g.,auto-coater,perforated coating pans) to ensure uniform coating coverage and batch consistency.
Solution Preparation & Homogenization: Prepare polymer solutions,color suspensions,and organic/aqueous coating recipes using high-shear mixers and homogenizers according to Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR) specifications.
Process Parameter Control: Monitor and maintain critical coating parameters,including inlet/exhaust air temperatures,pan speed (RPM),atomization air pressure,spray rate,and bed temperature.
Line Clearance Execution: Perform thorough Type A/B line clearance routines,equipment disassembling,spray gun cleaning,ducting sanitation,and bay clearance between product batches to prevent cross-contamination.
In-Process Quality Checks (IPQC): Conduct routine in-process tests during spray cycles,including tablet percentage weight gain calculations,loss on drying (LOD),coating thickness checks,and visual defect identification.
Real-Time BMR & Logbook Documentation: Record all process variables,spray rates,downtime logs,solution consumption,and environmental conditions in BMRs and equipment logbooks adhering strictly to ALCOA+ data integrity standards.
Equipment Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Identify minor mechanical,pneumatic,or spray gun clogging issues during operation,carry out basic troubleshooting,and coordinate with Engineering for routine preventive maintenance.
Yield & Material Reconciliation: Track raw core tablet inputs,solution consumption,rejected tablets,and final yield calculations at the end of every coating run.
Audit Preparedness: Maintain coating bays,solution preparation rooms,and utility connections in a continuous state of cleanliness and inspection readiness for regulatory audits (USFDA, MHRA, WHO).
EHS & Safety Enforcement: Enforce safety protocols,ensure proper exhaust blower function when handling organic solvents,use mandatory PPE (respirators,safety goggles,chemical gloves),and maintain 5S workplace standards.
