Successful technology transfer involves more than just completing documentation; it requires ensuring that the receiving site can reliably execute the process. This includes creating necessary documentation such as process descriptions, risk assessments, and training plans. However, approved documents do not guarantee operational readiness. The key question is whether the receiving site can run the process effectively.
For sponsors, readiness means understanding the process and defining critical parameters. The CDMO must adapt this knowledge to its own environment. Effective communication and collaboration between the sponsor and CDMO are crucial to identify potential challenges and ensure that both parties understand the process requirements and operational constraints. Early execution activities can reveal weaknesses and provide opportunities for improvement before routine manufacturing begins. Ultimately, the goal is to transition from project completion to true manufacturing readiness.
