Technology Transfer of a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Process

Technology transfer of a cGMP pharmaceutical manufacturing process to an outsource/partner site is a significant undertaking, one that needs to be accomplished quickly and efficiently. The expertise of several functions at both the sending and receiving site must be employed and skillful integration of all of the relevant project components is required.

Areas Covered in the seminar:

This webinar will cover the essential aspects for the cGMP-compliant technology transfer of a pharmaceutical manufacturing process:

• Generation of essential site selection criteria
• Creation of an effective technology transfer team, with representatives of relevant functions within each organization
• Use of professional project management tools to ensure on-time and on-budget delivery
• Creation and tracking of all project documents to support effective technology transfer and to ensure cGMP compliance
• Integration of the sending and receiving site quality assurance systems
• Creation of validation master plans and protocols for utility systems, analytical procedures, process equipment and manufacturing processes

Who Will Benefit:

All personnel and managers involved with technology transfer from the following functions:

• Product, process and formulation development
• Project management
• Analytical development
• Manufacturing sciences
• Manufacturing
• Quality assurance
• Quality control
• Regulatory affairs
