In the earlier years of my career, I had to opportunity to work with various manufacturers including Merisant Australia (producer of the world’s leading tabletop sweeteners, Equal®, Whole Earth Sweetener Co®, Canderel® and Pure Via®); BATA Shoe a trusted family-owned global footwear and fashion accessory manufacturer and retailer dating as far back as 1894); and Novartis (previously CIBA-GEIGY and now known as one of the largest pharmaceutical companies by both market capitalization and sales). However, in 2006 I took accepted Pfizer Australia's offer to lead the quality control efforts. My days mostly consist of internal audits, testing raw materials, implementing production requirements and coordinating with external laboratories. My key achievements so far include: * Introduction of the Reagent Management Database that organised and tracked all laboratory inventories. * Significant reduction in human error through the implementation of an HPLC checklist that analysed each identified error then updates the corresponding LIMS sheet. * Elimination of chemical waste by requiring exact samples quantity requirements prior to request processing. * 50% lower lead time by with a subsequent increase in productivity through the introduction of ATR and the Library of API and Excipients.
