_____ is presently considered as an advance
course, it deals with the “technology
various official and non-official products
manufactured in a semi-commercial and commercial scale.”
MANUFACTURING PHARMACY
refers to pharmaceutical research and
manufacturing companies providing
pharmacists with medicines in prefabricated or ready-to-take forms.
INDUSTRIAL PHARMACY
INDUSTRIAL PHARMACY relates to the following (2):
- Practice of pharmacy in some
hospitals - Large scale production carried

on the pharmacist or patient or prescriber
relationship in the course of professional
practice
Compounding
also includes the preparation of drugs and
devices in anticipation of prescription
drug orders based on routine, regularly
observed patterns

for the purpose of, as an incident to
research, teaching, or chemical analysis
and not for sale or dispensing

Basic Tools in an Organization
I. Organizational Planning
II. Position Description
III. Organizational Manual
- It lists all important positions and functions
of each divisions or department - It is a means of quickly showing the shape
or structure of the company to employees
and other interested parties outside the
company
Characteristics of an Organizational Chart
- Can analyze organizational problems like
overlapping of functions - Can assess the strengths and weaknesses in the
functions and personnel - Can plan changes in the structure, if not
applicable
Importance of a Chart
- Cannot reveal company objectives and policies
- Cannot indicate a delegated authority
- Reveals little about working relationships
Some Drawbacks in the Chart
It combines the chart and position
descriptions, with description materials
about the organization

1. To protect and make the most effective
use of the assets of the company

executives concerned with a particular division of
the company rather than the enterprise, as a whole.
Level III- Vice President, General
Managers and Department Managers
- it groups all activities on the basis of the
functions alone. This is more appropriate for a small company or one with closely related products.
Functional Structure
- All production, sales, and financial activities are under one head. It is flexible, facilities and coordination, and encourages specialization in the field.
. Functional Structure
- it combines into one unit, all different kinds of work necessary to accomplish a specific
result. The kinds of work necessary may be
grouped on a geographical basis or more
commonly on a product basis.
Divisionalized Structure
- it is identified as the chain of command from top to
the bottom of the organization. - constitutes the framework of the organizational
structure - have direct responsibility to accomplish the
objectives of the enterprise - have the power or authority to initiate and carry
through other primary activities necessary to reach the
stated goal of the company
LINE
constitutes the work functions or the
organization component that are required
to supply information and services to the “line” components

-is a staff function as a service department
supporting but not subordinate to
production supervision
–Responsibility for quality is shared by all,
but QC has ultimate jurisdiction over the
release of every product manufactured
and/or filled and packaged
QUALITY CONTROL
requisitioned items for the company,
both from local and imported sources
Purchasing
watches closely and records all
materials used in production; controls the stock of both
raw materials and finished products; in charge of
checking stocks regularly
Inventory control
coordinates with marketing
on what products are required for supply and then plans
and schedules the manufacturing order (MO);
manufacturing at the time limit allowed.
Planning & Scheduling -
Raw material consists of 3 subdivisions
– Quarantined area
– Approved for use area
– Rejected area
consists of products which have been
bottled or stripped, packed but not
yet labeled, or packed into boxes or
cartons because they are awaiting QC
tests and assays for final disposition
In-process
this area contains the products
packaged and finished and are ready
for distribution and sale
Finished Product:
