Project management
Our project management approach
At Skyepharma, we have embraced a project management approach from the very beginning. Each customer is assigned a single point of contact who fulfills multiple roles:
Technical responsibility for galenic development and industrial transfer activities: training for galenists (Master 2, pharmacist, PhD);
Coordination of in-house project activities (analytical development) and, when necessary, external activities (subcontracting or others);
Communication with customers and third parties (investors, etc.);
Assurance of cost management and deadline management.
