GPN can design the technology transfer management
framework. Technology transfer management is a key discipline to the
successful start up and ongoing operation of a facility. It provides
the basis for the quality of the product, the robustness of processes,
the stability of supply and facilitates the education of the
workforce. With our expertise we can plan and implement a
multi-disciplined process to new product and process introductions
that ensures a robust start up and ensure that the training and
education plans of the personnel on site are aligned with all of the
technical requirements. This critical area requires high calibre
resources that are competent on the products and processes that are
being transferred. In addition to understanding the processes GPN SMEs
are skilled in both problem solving and project management
methodologies and as such can provide a more effective and streamlined
approach to the transfer.

Problems do occur in plants. We can investigate and help resolve
product and process problems particularly for those nagging problems
that do pop up from time to time. Particular areas of expertise are
powder handling, tablet technology, process improvement and quality
related issues. It is very useful to resolve issues before technology
transfer to a new plant to prevent escalation of the issues. The
methodologies used will depend on the problem found and may
incorporate some of those mentioned already of Brainstorming, Force
Field analysis, Pareto analysis, SMED, Kepner Trego, Isikawa and Cause
and Effect, Story boards, etc. Statistical analysis of data is
important in this process also.
