The Execution Stage Of Technology Transfer

By Robert Ossig

For companies completing a pharmaceutical technology transfer (TT) project, the Execution Stage is the exciting accumulation of all their efforts. It is the crucial stage where all their plans are implemented, including the execution of Process Performance Qualification (PPQ) and the assurance of operational readiness and compliance at the Receiving Unit (RU). Numerous roles are involved in this stage, such as the Business Function, Technology Transfer Project Manager, Process Function, and many more. Each role has specific responsibilities, from crafting the launch strategy to finalizing shipping requirements. This stage requires collaboration, meticulous oversight, and robust communication across functions for successful execution. A competent and experienced TT Project Manager is critical for the successful and timely completion of the TT execution.
