There is an ever-increasing pressure on pharmaceutical companies to bring products quickly to the marketplace, to gain market share and maintain a competitive edge within the industry. This often means designing and building a new plant (or retrofitting an existing plant) before product development is finished or regulatory approval has been granted. This situation presents an additional element of complexity to a project, as design, commissioning and qualification parameters may not be known.
Projects can range from new facilities, through additional capacity or product lines, to site decommissioning. To execute this range of projects, a contracting company must have a wide range of skills and methods for creating project execution strategies.
Aker Kvaerner understands that our clients are looking for the following factors in projects:
- Low risk project execution to achieve shortest time to beneficial operation
- Low cost high value services
- Local presence
- Dedicated management
- Integrated/streamlined project phasing
- Win/win projects
- Trusting relationships
- Accountability and Ownership
- Accurate performance measures
- A project delivered according to the original requirements, on time and within budget.
