We're operations research experts helping improve the quality, productivity, flexibility and manageability of the world's leading biomanufacturers. We provide a suite of enterprise software tools and services, developed to address your most significant biomanufacturing challenges.

Our Real-Time Modeling System consolidates supply chain and manufacturing operations data, and lets you and colleagues across the enterprise, visualize that data. This feeds an accurate model of your process, and provides outcomes like quality by design (QbD), real-time scheduling, debottlenecking and more, across a facility, or a network of facilities around the world.

Our customers range from small, through to the largest biomanufacturers in the world. We deliver improved quality, productivity, flexibility and manageability at these firms, ultimately helping them achieve real biomanufacturing excellence. We can do the same for you.

Bio-G Webinar: Capacity Planning in Biomanufacturing: Effectively Managing Uncertainty

AMERICAS: 1PM PACIFIC, 4PM EASTERN, MAY 30, 2012
EUROPE: 3:00PM GMT, 4:00PM CET, MAY 30, 2012

Capacity planning for new molecules in biotech is fraught with uncertainty. Supply constraints, unknown titers, number of patients and dosing as well as probability of technical success (PTS), make capacity planning difficult. And while building insufficient capacity may have significant negative revenue implications, building too much capacity ties up capital and increases fixed manufacturing costs. With capital costs contributing as much as 30% of the overall cost per kilogram, making the right decision about capacity investment is critical.

In this webinar we'll outline a number of approaches to understanding and managing the uncertainty associated with capacity planning. We'll explore how to evaluate the capacity of existing and new biomanufacturing facilities at a range of titers and volume ranges. We'll also show how to plan for a portfolio of new indications, identifying potential outliers ('black swans') that must be specially accounted for.
 
IN THIS WEBINAR YOU'LL LEARN:

• Key graphs and visualizations, including facility occupancy and KG / Titer charts that can be used to understand the pipeline
• The role of modeling and sensitivity analysis in understanding supply vs. projected demand
• How black swans (unlikely but high impact events), hedging and outsourcing can be accounted for
• How concepts such as value at risk can be applied to capacity planning in the industry
