Even a minor operational improvement can generate major benefits for ATMP manufacturers, particularly when personalized therapies are involved. Unlock these benefits in your own facility by using the tools of operational improvement to answer six mission-critical questions.

This report, the fourth in our Horizons: Life Sciences series, tests this vision of improved patient access. We draw on the perspective of more than 500 small, medium and large companies operating across North America and Europe to examine each submarket in detail, looking closely at the milestones that brought them to this moment and the trends that are shaping their future—trends that will determine how quickly the next revolution in life-changing medicine will unfold.

Even with smaller budgets, there are ways to enhance manufacturing operations and boost production, quality, and speed. Here’s your guide to getting there, along with several value stream map examples.

Manufacturers of therapeutic proteins face immense pressure to stay ahead of market trends and deliver complex product portfolios. Choosing the right manufacturing system from day one can reduce that pressure and position you for ongoing commercial success.   

Life sciences facilities are unique workspaces that combine office space with highly specialized laboratory, research, and manufacturing areas. In this article, we explore the many roles lighting design plays to enhance the variety of activities that take place at these innovative companies—while at the same time improving energy efficiency and supporting employee wellness.

Industry 4.0 examples to better understand what Industry 4.0 is and how it can bring value to your manufacturing operations.

Process intensification is a significant market trend in biomanufacturing. Continuous liquid chromatography—a paradigm shift from traditional batch chromatography operation—is key to increasing manufacturing efficiency.

Whether you’re leasing a lab space or building an all-new drug manufacturing facility, you’ll see a greater return on your capital investment when you deliver a workplace that fits the needs of your employees. That’s the principle behind human-centric workplace design, and it’s the key to a more resilient, flexible, and productive life science facility.

Capital projects driven by strict schedules rely on gathering the right materials, trades, and technology at the right time. But today’s volatile market conditions can impact pricing and availability, leading to long lead times and frustrating delays.
