4:30 EXECUTING STREAMLINED TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER THROUGHOUT PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURING FACILITIESOrganizations can accrue a vast amount of knowledge and information during the development of a product’s design and any loss of data could be detrimental to the timely commercial release of a product. Comprehen-sive technology transfer processes are vital for the successful transition of product data from developmental and clinical departments over to com-mercial manufacturing facilities. Through the sharing of best practices and lessons learned this case study will highlight the cruciality of a cohesive and concise technology transfer practices to secure the knowledge regard-ing the efficacy, quality, and design of new products. Prasad GogineniAssociate Director, Pharmaceutical TechnologyACTAVIS

3:30 COFFEE & NETWORKING BREAK

4:30 EXTERNAL MANUFACTURING: QUALIFICATION ANDEVALUATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR CMO PARTNERSHIPSMany medical device organizations, from clinical to large commercial stage, have made the decision to outsource certain product manufactur-ing responsibilities to 3rd party manufacturing organizations in order to re-duce overall production costs. The creation of CMO partnerships removes a large portion of production control away from manufacturing executives; although the device corporations are still the accountable party when qual-ity infractions are discovered. For this reason, manufacturing and quality executives need to have thorough and elaborate qualification benchmarks in place before finalizing CMO partnerships to ensure both organizations are compatible in regards to deadline and quality standards. • Creating measurable benchmarks to evaluate potential CMO partners• Establishing open communication network work CMOs• Outlining CMO expectations, standards, and deadlinesRobert Berger, Director, Contract ManufacturingCOVIDIEN

CROSS INDUSTRY SESSIONS5:20 PANEL DISCUSSION: OPERATIONAL AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL MANUFACTURING Expanding manufacturing operations to international markets is a goal for any successful global organization but raises a plethora of logistical and regu-latory concerns for life science executives to overcome.

4:30 CLOSING REMARKS AND PROGRAM CONCLUSION

PHARMACEUTICAL SESSIONS1:00 ENHANCING REGULATORY INSPECTION READINESS LEVELS WITH THE EMPLOYMENT OF INTERNAL QUALITY AUDITSUtilization of internal quality audits within facilities ensures that the orga-nization’s quality system can withstand a regulatory inspection conducted by health authorities and provides assurance that products are maintain-ing the highest possible quality standard. Pharmaceutical companies who conduct detailed audits on all manufacturing and quality processes are better equipped to identify potential areas of non-compliance and quickly resolve identified discrepancies. The successful implementation of an in-ternal audit can boost operational efficiency, control costs, and increase risk management practices within manufacturing facilities.• Determine auditors duties and responsibilities• Monitoring audit data collection• Implementing corrective action plans in response to discrepanciesMelissa Seymour, Sr Director, Corporate GxP Compliance & Quality SystemsBIOGEN IDEC

1:45 DESIGN AND EXECUTION OF CHANGE CONTROL MANAGEMENT PROCESS WITHIN MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS Drug manufacturers face an extremely high level of scrutiny from both the FDA and consumers regarding the quality of products; therefore when any changes that impact the overall product efficacy is implemented it must be properly recorded and stored. Process and material changes have the po-tential to be very disruptive to the manufacturing process, the institution of stringent control management practices allow executives to reduce any dis-ruptions and ensure changes occur at the right phase in a product’s life cycle.• Balance overall change impact with the cost of change implementation• Classifying and approving proposed alterations• Implementation planningJill Neri, Change Control Manager, GENZYME

2:30 COFFEE & NETWORKING BREAK

3:00 ADVANCEMENT AND ADOPTION OF QUALITY BY DESIGN PRINCIPLES WITHIN MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY PROCEDURESAs the push for greater quality and efficacy standards increase, the phar-maceutical industry continues to question how to get the best value from the large investment required to employ quality by design practices. QbD allows companies to define a preferred level of product functionality and effectively build in the appropriate quality parameters during a product’s developmental stage. This presentation will highlight best practices and strategies of initiating the QbD systematic approach to assist in building quality into a product on the front-end and reduce the probability of non-conformities during the manufacturing process.Chris Balducci, Technical Research & Development Network LeaderNOVARTIS

MEDICAL DEVICE SESSIONS1:00 EFFECTIVE INTERNAL AUDITING PRACTICES TO ENSURE FACILITY’S PREPAREDNESS FOR REGULATORY INSPECTIONS• Identification of focal areas to address during audits• Promoting the benefits of audits to management committees• Techniques and strategies to maximize effectiveness of quality audits• Assessing audit results and outcomes to measure facility’s inspection readiness levelElena MackDirector, Quality Assurance & RegulatoryORASURE

1:45 OUTLINING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF RISK MITIGATION STRATEGIES THROUGHOUT THE PRODUCT LIFECYCLERisk management and mitigation is the practical application of strategies to proactively alleviate or reduce the risk of device failure in real-world en-vironments whether triggered by a design flaw or user error. Severity is a key component within any risk management analysis; it is the vital re-sponsibility of quality executives to benchmark acceptable ranges of risk for products and ensure devices consistently reside within that acceptable risk threshold to secure compliance with safety regulations. • Review the implications of EN ISO 14971:2012 update within EU market• Risk analysis implementation strategies and tools • Preliminary Hazards Analysis (PHA) • Failure Tree Analysis (FTA)• Lessons learned from prior risk mitigation assessmentsJames TillmanVP, Quality and Regulatory Compliance InitiativesDANAHER CORPORATION

3:00 NAVIGATING THE INTRICACIES OF CHANGE CONTROL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WITHIN MANUFACTURINGFDA regulations 21 CFR Part 820 states that manufacturing organizations must have a well constructed system in place to monitor and track all changes made to a product. Whether to the design or simply the technol-ogy used to assemble the product, change control is a core competency within a manufacturing facility’s quality management system (QMS). It is crucial for quality executives to employ thorough change control methodol-ogies to ensure open access and retrieval of information during regulatory audits to showcase absolute quality compliance. • Integrating flexibility into QMS to allow for thorough change control• Debate what level of change requires re-submission for approval to regulatory authorities• Creation of change forms and request management processesKent Pruett, Director Quality Assurance & Regulatory AffairsFUJIREBIO DIAGNOSTICS
