NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pharma IQ, a division of IQPC, announces the 12th Annual Contract Manufacturing for Pharmaceuticals and Biotech Conference, being held May 23-25, 2011 in Berkeley, CA, to address numerous changes in recent market trends resulting from cost pressures and increasing government scrutiny.
As the outsourcing sector continues to grow, outsourcing strategically is imperative. 2011 promises to be important year in regard to many of the issues within the contract manufacturing industry, and the IQPC Contract Manufacturing for Pharmaceuticals and Biotech Conference will address these, including:
- Choosing an outsourcing partner
- Developing a risk management program
- Ensuring successful technology transfers
- Managing operating expenses
- Keeping current with market trends
- Maximizing outsourcing efficiency
Experienced industry leaders and key researchers from industry leaders including Sanofi-Aventis, Fibrogen, Watson Pharmaceuticals and Arno Therapeutics will discuss techniques for managing CMOs, operating budgets and quality assurance.
Paul Woitach of Pharmaceutical Advisors LLC will conduct a workshop on “Determining What Tools are Needed for a Successful Outsourcing Program.” As Woitach states, “Outsourcing has been seen as a solution to some organizational needs, but as the supply of outsourcing capability has expanded and matured, many managers have been lulled into a false belief that outsourcing has become easier and more straightforward.” Using a combination of real-life “don’t let this happen to you” examples and practical advice, Woitach gives practical tips and checklists for senior managers planning on outsourcing in his article “Don’t Outsource Your Outsourcing: Advice for CEOs & Senior Management.” It is available here: http://www.pharmacontractmanufacturing.com/redForms.aspx?id=461306&sform_id=485322
