Integration

Accelerating Biopharmaceutical Development by achieving speed, cost and quality without compromise Historically, it has been accepted that speed, cost and quality cannot be achieved simultaneously, and that optimizing for one or another aspect inevitably comes at the expense of something else, “If you want it fast and cheap, don’t expect it to be very good”. This session seeks to address how these dimensions can be put together to reduce compromises among speed, cost and quality and across the lifecycle of product development and manufacturing. How the appropriate balance be achieved? How can the various technical disciplines be better integrated? How will improved business processes and regulatory paradigms contribute? Can truly revolutionary performance in terms of speed, cost and quality be achieved together? Potential topics would be expected to focus not exclusively on either speed, cost or quality but touch on multiple dimensions of improvement. Enabling tools and technologies that could have broad impact on speed, cost and quality would be of interest in this session as well.
