Production OSD: Coating Operator

- Coating Machine Operation & Setup: Set up, adjust, and operate automated tablet coating machinery (e. g., auto-coater, perforated coating pans) to ensure uniform coating coverage and batch consistency.
- Solution Preparation & Homogenization: Prepare polymer solutions, color suspensions, and organic/aqueous coating recipes using high-shear mixers and homogenizers according to Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR) specifications.
- Process Parameter Control: Monitor and maintain critical coating parameters, including inlet/exhaust air temperatures, pan speed (RPM), atomization air pressure, spray rate, and bed temperature.
- Line Clearance Execution: Perform thorough Type A/B line clearance routines, equipment disassembling, spray gun cleaning, ducting sanitation, and bay clearance between product batches to prevent cross-contamination.
- In-Process Quality Checks (IPQC): Conduct routine in-process tests during spray cycles, including tablet percentage weight gain calculations, loss on drying (LOD), coating thickness checks, and visual defect identification.
- Real-Time BMR & Logbook Documentation:



Record all process variables, spray rates, downtime logs, solution consumption, and environmental conditions in BMRs and equipment logbooks adhering strictly to ALCOA+ data integrity standards.
- Equipment Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Identify minor mechanical, pneumatic, or spray gun clogging issues during operation, carry out basic troubleshooting, and coordinate with Engineering for routine preventive maintenance.
- Yield & Material Reconciliation: Track raw core tablet inputs, solution consumption, rejected tablets, and final yield calculations at the end of every coating run.
- Audit Preparedness: Maintain coating bays, solution preparation rooms, and utility connections in a continuous state of cleanliness and inspection readiness for regulatory audits ( USFDA, MHRA, WHO ).
- EHS & Safety Enforcement: Enforce safety protocols, ensure proper exhaust blower function when handling organic solvents, use mandatory PPE (respirators, safety goggles, chemical gloves), and maintain 5S workplace standards.
