Fast Growth Calls for a Fresh Look

Streamlining Pharmaceutical R&D Operations

Case Study

Due to rapid growth, a multinational pharmaceutical company was looking to improve efficiency and eliminate layers of redundancy within their R&D operations. ATL was asked to analyze their current R&D functions and overall technical capabilities including quantitative biology, cell culture, and capability dedicated labs. The pharmaceutical company needed help identifying ways to cut costs, improve efficiency and streamline processes — without sacrificing the service and production standards their internal team had come to expect.

Action

ATL took the time to become familiar with and understand the company’s entire R&D operation from their people and systems to their requirements and expectations. As a result, we quickly identified several opportunities. Alongside key stakeholders, we planned and implemented changes that consolidated redundant functions and streamlined processes. We also created a dynamic cross-functional lab platform to support the client’s testing needs across multiple departments and improve their technological capabilities.
