Abstract
Competitive pressures require Amgen Rhode Island (ARI) warehouse to be as efficient and low cost as possible. An Outside Service Provider (OSP) has led operations within the warehouse since September 2021. The work is considered safe and compliant. However, there are many opportunities to mature their processes and make the work more efficient. The goal of this project is to support Amgen as it creates the warehouse of the future. ARI is targeting volume-based growth as it expands, aiming to increase by 130% its production of drug substances by 2026. Ensuring that the warehouse can support the site's long-term growth is key.
