Paper Title
Risk Identification and Assessment of Mitigation Strategies using Risk Priority Number in Tablet Manufacturing

Abstract
This paper describes the risks identified in tablet manufacturing process which includes dispensing of raw materials and excipients, granulation, compression, coating, tablet inspection and packing. Brainstorming sessions were conducted to identify the possible failures and all such failures were evaluated using risk priority number and the possible prevention and protective measures in form of mitigation plans are advised to avoid or minimize these risks. Risk priority number was then re-evaluated after application of mitigation plans to check the effectiveness of recommended actions. The basic ideology of this work is to predict the risks associated with every step of tablet manufacturing process and provide mitigation strategies that are useful in reducing the effects of risks by improving the tablet production process.
