Resource and capacity planning for CDMOs working on drug substance and drug product.
A reserved production window is only as reliable as the plan behind it. I help connect customer milestones, project readiness and shared resources so teams can identify bottlenecks early and make informed delivery commitments.
Discuss your CDMO planning needsTranslate the project portfolio into a time-phased view of demand across development, analytical, technology transfer, manufacturing and quality teams. Identify constraints by role, skill and equipment, using assumptions agreed with functional owners.
Assess the impact of a new project, an accelerated programme or a rescheduled batch on shared resources and customer milestones. Work with planning and operations to compare feasible options, including campaign constraints, changeovers and equipment availability.
Establish reviews ahead of key manufacturing milestones covering process and technology transfer readiness, materials, analytical methods, documentation and staffing. Make dependencies, owners and escalation dates visible before a slot is at risk.
Connect manufacturing plans with QC testing and QA release activities. Build these dependencies into the customer delivery timeline and surface capacity conflicts with the relevant teams.
Define a clear review rhythm and decision ownership when projects compete for the same capacity. Give leadership a shared view of delivery risks, resource gaps and the consequences of reprioritisation.
Strengthen project management practices and commercial-to-delivery handovers. Define practical dashboards and business requirements connecting PPM information with ERP and planning systems, working alongside IT and system owners.
The focus is the connection between project management, planning, operations, commercial and quality teams. Together we establish how project changes flow into capacity forecasts, how conflicts are resolved and when customer commitments need to be reviewed.
A resource and capacity baseline; scenarios for manufacturing slots and project timing; a readiness checklist with owners and decision dates; a portfolio dashboard; and a governance routine for priorities and escalation. Scope and level of detail are tailored to your organisation and existing systems.
Start with a focused review of a planning bottleneck, develop a broader improvement project, or add fractional senior PM leadership to support implementation and adoption. I work alongside your internal teams to build practices they can sustain.
