Today’s science-based industries are challenged to quickly and efficiently transform new product development processes and analytical methods into reliable and repeatable procedures. Ultimately, any time reduction in the product commercialization process not only reduces investment cost, but shortens the time to which a return on investment is realized.
One manner in which to directly address this challenge is by implementing a standards-based approach to product development and scale up, by driving utilization of a recipe/method framework from the early stages of development. A procedure could represent any number of processes, such as a synthetic chemistry or formulation recipe, an analytical method, a standard operating procedure, or a protocol. Ensuring consistency in procedures reduces re-work, streamlines workflows, standardizes data, and removes barriers in tech transfer to manufacturing.
