VIEW TOC AND LIST OF EXHIBITS

Best Practices, LLC conducted this study to better understand resource and investment levels, expertise, and activities in global (pre-launch) Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) operations in top pharmaceutical companies. This data-rich study provides numerous operational benchmarks around CMC facilities in terms of number/geographic locations, types of CMC activity performed, and FTEs by function and advanced degrees. The research also delivers benchmarks around number of projects, batches processed and timeframes for CMC activities. Other topic areas include capabilities & expertise and performance & measures. This study is intended to provide executives with data to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of their CMC operations and provide insights to improve drug development programs.

Note: Data for this study is presented in two segments: A Total Benchmark Class containing all participants and a Top 30 segment, containing those companies that are among the Top 30 by revenue.

Industries Profiled:
Pharmaceutical; Health Care; Medical Device; Biotech; Consumer Products

Companies Profiled:
Johnson & Johnson; Sanofi-aventis; Daiichi Sankyo; Pfizer; Gilead Sciences; GlaxoSmithKline; Novartis; Merck; Abbott Laboratories; Boehringer Ingelheim; Baxter Healthcare; Takeda Pharmaceuticals; Astellas; Eisai; Alcon Laboratories; Solvay Pharmaceuticals; Biogen Idec; Bausch & Lomb
