People working in pharmaceutical drug discovery and development are constantly trying to juggle the creativity of research and the structure of deadlines. Without both, the industry will fail to bring new drugs to market.
The 5th Lean Sigma & Kaizen for Pharma R&D Summit brings together project managers, clinical and pre-clinical researchers, and anyone involved with optimizing the effectiveness of discovery and development. Now in its fifth year, attendees will hear presentations and panel discussions on how leaders from top level companies have transmitted lean and other forms of process innovation into their research activities.
