ABSTRACT
For a large percentage of pharmaceutical and bio-
technology industry professionals, outsourcing of
contract manufacturing services has become a common
occurrence-essentially, a “way of life.” One would be
hard pressed to find a seasoned industry veteran who has
not been involved in outsourcing of contract manufac-
turing services at some point in their career. The war
stories are varied and span the full spectrum of results,
from complete success to complete failure with most
falling somewhere in between.
