Manufacturing Site Rationalisation
Manufacturing site rationalisation initiatives are becoming increasingly important in the current times of increased merger and acquisition (M&A) activity and product divestment.
As pharmaceutical companies look to deliver short, medium and longterm efficiencies, the identification of potential synergies and efficiencies between multiple manufacturing sites has led to a marked increase in source transfer activities. This article reviews the numerous regulatory and logistical challenges and requirements inherent within a global manufacturing site rationalisation project.

Change of Ownership Applications
The transfer of marketing authorisations (MAs) from one legal entity to another is a common part of merger and acquisition activity within the pharmaceutical industry. While this is usually a fairly straightforward regulatory process it is often complicated by commercial and stock control issues. It is further complicated by the variety in the procedures to be followed market by market in terms of documentation, timescale for approval and implementation requirements. This article gives a flavour of how to handle projects of this nature, with some specific country examples to highlight the diversity of processes.

Efficient Drug Registration Process Based on Document Management
In today’s extremely complicated regulatory environment, which is becoming even more complicated by the hour, it is no longer possible to meet challenges of tomorrow with yesterday’s tools. Mountains of paper, the brand of every regulatory affairs department for so long, are bound to disappear. In the new, mostly electronic environment, the quality of a software solution will increasingly become the comparative advantage on the drugs’ long journey from an idea to the market.

EDMS Based Development Documentation: Decreased Time to Market
Processes in pharmaceutical development departments are mostly serving drug development projects. Documents resulting from these processes normally describe the process milestones. By means of applying the right set of attributes to each document, project management and reporting could be made much easier and less time-consuming.

EDMS Based QA/QC Documentation: the Lasting Answer to GxP Challenges
In all GxP areas, document handling is one of the most exposed areas when it comes to regulatory inspections. While good document management system cannot by itself ensure the favourable result of an inspection, the lack of it is almost sure to ruin the company’s high expectations, even if there is nothing essentially wrong with the presented data. In order to deal with all the documentation pertinent to the challenges in GxP environment, INFOTEHNA developed QualityExpert. QualityExpert is the solution based on INFOTEHNA proprietary application myProcess, which ensures the compliance with all regulatory requirements, including 21CFR11. In addition, myProcess is the base for all other INFOTEHNA myPharmaExpert Suite solutions, which ensures 100% cross-solution compatibility.

Earned Value Management, an approach for effectively managing pipeline value
Life sciences R&D organisations have made advancements in managing the performance of their development projects and portfolios, yet prioritisation, resource and budget allocation, and the tracking of value creation remain hard to achieve. This article argues that life sciences R&D organisations should adopt EVM, describes the benefits of applying EVM at the project level, and explores the potential for additional benefits at the portfolio level.

Discovery Metrics – Creating the Right Balance
Metrics can be powerful tools for driving performance, but the measurement of effort and output in Discovery organisations is often felt to be in fundamental conflict with the need for the creative, unconstrained culture required to drive innovation. In addition, many would argue that Discovery metrics largely fail to yield benefits. This paper explores the reasons behind that, and looks at an approach to defining metrics that are ‘fit for purpose’.

Internet usage of Indian General Practitioners
General Practitioners (GPs) form a vital part of the medical fraternity in India and are a major part of the pharmaceutical companies’ prescriber base. A rapid development has taken place in the use of Internet by the medical fraternity in India over a past few years and pharmaceutical companies have been making a lot of efforts to use Internet as a channel to connect to GPs both for marketing their products as well as knowledge sharing. A survey was conducted involving more than 100 GPs across 3 Indian cities to evaluate opinions and perceptions of the Indian GPs on their professional use of Internet. This paper tries to analyse their opinions and provide recommendations on how the industry can further use Internet to improve their reach to GPs.
