Presentation-Full Abstract
Technology transfers offer some of the most exciting yet challenging project executions for any engineer, project manager, or scientist, often in a squeezed timeline due to a strong push to get manufacturing up and running.
Regardless of how detailed the planning phase is for these projects, variability in the availability of information, resources, or materials can push even the most organized teams into situations where creative problem-solving is a necessity.
As a result, teams can often find themselves in a highly dynamic situation or feeling as if they are “building a plane as they fly it.” In this case study, the lessons learned and the tools and strategies of a persevering and iterative tech transfer, focusing primarily on the engineering and process development teams, will be presented. Additionally, an exercise in perspectives between a CDMO and a client will be explored.
