Let us make your process predictive!

Key Pharma Market Aspects The global market for Pharma is rapidly changing and evolving. The increasing regulation decreases product profitability preference for Generics Cost cutting & budgeting Increase of purchasing power high PAI & drug development risks & costs The complexity & costs of quality administration on top of production costs are high and increase (IPC, QA, QM). New production technologies and measurement methods are available. The cost of drug production incl. quality plays a more significant role.

Think Pharma will increase your production efficiency Quality Performance Costs Deep understanding of your production process Integration of quality into process steps Reduction of quality overhead costs Higher production quality, lower production costs In bandwidth, self adjusting production processes Think Pharma integrates quality into your production: Quality – by – Design (QbD)* Think Pharma integrates quality into your production: Quality – by – Design (QbD)* *based on ICH Q 8, 9, 10, GAMP 5, Annex 20 QM
