This document provides an overview of the solid dosage manufacturing process. It discusses the main unit operations used, including formulation, blending, milling, granulation, drying, tabletting, coating and encapsulation. The three main methods for developing powders for tablet making are described as direct compression, wet granulation and dry granulation. Each unit operation is explained in detail, outlining the typical equipment used and goals of each step to produce tablets with consistent weight, thickness, hardness and other quality attributes. Common tests for granule properties are also summarized.
