Technology

It became necessary to launch an advanced research division within Biochimica to anticipate the choices of a complex and constantly evolving market: along with technology, research has become one of the guidelines adopted by the company in response to the industry's ongoing need innovation demands. 
Biochimica has a clear, determined entrepreneurial vision: to be ahead of our time, so that we won't be left behind the times.

The care taken in planning and developing lines from an industrial standpoint is progressing from a casual, modular or need-based approach to a systematic and planned approach, to efficiently and independently manage testing, controls and communication.

Highly noteworthy is the technology of the newest arrival, Nuova Elberel Italia S.r.l., which has some of the most modern and sophisticated systems to ensure optimization in terms of flexibility, such as two turbo emulsifiers capable of producing any type of cream and toothpaste.

In the short term, the possible development of industrial manufacturing plants will help spread new high-immunity control and communication systems.

Due to the countless possible applications and wide variety of operating principles, the technology is so complex that, for the first time, the technical division of Biochimica has been turned over to highly qualified specialists and technicians with proven experience in the specific individual areas.

Production

Biochimica applies the concept of “Integrated Logistics” in managing all operative aspects according to “pull” logic. Actual inquiries put forth by the customer activate the various processes, in a domino effect: purchasing, production, storage, distribution.

This policy is based on:

• a manufacturing system capable of ensuring efficiency and quality in processes, characterized by flexibility in terms of volumes and mix.
• a proper planning stage for launching new products that takes maximum advantage of the entire production line to satisfy market needs
• a constant-low planning system set up with just-in-time logic, which uses MRPII/Kanban tools and reliable processes guaranteed by the Quality System Certified VISION 9001:2000
• computerization of the critical steps of the process (Formulation, Finished Products Warehouse, Unfinished Material Warehouse) to streamline the flow of information and ensure that batches may be tracked from the raw materials used all the way to the finished product delivered to individual sales outlets.
• the use of effectiveness/efficiency indicators that monitor the entire process. These indicators are systematically analyzed by a management committee that implements and evaluates the corrective/preventive actions necessary to ensure service levels and operative results
