Why does it take the industry so long to design, construct, commission and qualify (IQ/OQ) a new or renovated facility? No one can afford to spend a dollar that is not absolutely necessary. Reducing risk is a key goal.

Biopharmaceutical companies are delaying capital approvals later than ever. Companies are reluctant to commit significant capital funding until results from clinical trials provide the evidence of a potential winner. The consequence of this is that commitment to the design or renovation of a facility can occur as a late as phase 2B clinical trial. With the normal requirement to produce phase 3 clinical trial material in the new or renovated facility, and, reducing the time to market, the pressure on the owners engineering team and service providers is greater than ever. Current project delivery strategies employed by the industry are clearly not meeting this new business environment.

This two day summit will address these issues and feature interactive workshops given by senior industry professionals representing owner companies, engineering designers, construction managers, vendors and automation providers to address this question and, with the input of participants, consider new ideas to modify the current project delivery paradigm to meet this immediate business need. Perspectives and insight from other related industries will provide insight on how those industries have been able to deliver their facilities ultra fast.

Finally, the ISPE 2008 Facility of the Year Category Winners have been invited to explain what they learned, what made their projects unique, and why they excelled.
