Augmented OpsShow Notes
This week’s guest is Jim Fox, SVP of Americas Supply Operations at AstraZeneca.
Jim explains how digital manufacturing in pharma has evolved over his nearly 3 decades in the industry, from basic automation and data collection to advanced predictive modeling and integrated digital ecosystems—and why having humans in-the-loop continues to be critical despite these advancements in autonomy.
He also shares his perspective on building trust in emerging technology, the continued importance of lean principles, and the tension between regulation and speed to market.
