The increasing competition from generics has only added to the immense pressure the industry is under. Companies are responding to the pressure by focussing more than ever on achieving excellence in manufacturing. This will be a central focus to this year’s summit. Based on industry case studies, the programme will analyse how each stage of the manufacturing process can be improved to overcome these challenges including:

• Procurement – achieving the best value from suppliers and CMO’s
• Process development – optimising processes to reduce costs and improve efficiency
• Operations – maximising facility productivity through flexible plants and continuous manufacturing
• Quality and compliance – maintaining consistency and process control despite the economic challenges
• Supply Chain – managing inventories and effectively controlling the supply chain network
• Management strategies – Improving communication and managing relationships during organisational change
• Operational excellence – achieving lean and efficient processes throughout manufacturing and down the supply chain

Event features:

• Stream sessions with in-depth presentations providing you with choice from: new manufacturing technologies, operational excellence or supply chain
• Case studies from companies including Novartis, Pfizer and Boehringer Ingelheim
