Solid Dosage Manufacturing Facility Facility Description: The new facility will be constructed in Shanghai, China.  The facility will be located in an industrial park area that will provide potable water, waste water and electrical services to the facility. All other utilities will need to be generated at the facility.  The facility will need to support the existing product line described above.  It will also need to provide an additional 25% capacity across all unit operations. The layout and the overall architecture need to support the additional capacity. The equipment will not be purchased initially for the additional capacity. The utility design should consider alternative approaches to support additional capacity at a later date if possible. The site will be sending the tablets and capsules to another facility for packaging so do not include packaging facility design, but include the intermediate storage and transportation requirement to the packaging facility in Brussels, Belgium  for EU market. Assume facility operates 7 days a week and 24 hours per day with three shifts.
