Accelerating Continuous Improvement: The Road to Excellence in Life Sciences

Join us in Dublin to explore the latest insights from the Operational Excellence Research Group of the University of St.Gallen and researchers from TU Dublin!

We are excited to continue our conference series – this time in person in Dublin!

As the leading research institute in the field of Operational Excellence (OPEX) within the pharmaceutical industry, we have been conducting research and industry projects since 2004. Building on our extensive experience in industry benchmarking, our databases include data from nearly 600 facilities making them the largest independent OPEX benchmarking databases in the pharmaceutical industry worldwide.
To further expand our knowledge, we have launched a new OPEX benchmarking specifically for MedTech companies this year. We support pharmaceutical and MedTech companies in reaching OPEX through dedicated assessments on network and site level, identification of site complexity, OPEX workshops, as well as process mapping and identification of improvement potential.

This conference will provide you with exclusive insights and practical advice for your journey toward OPEX. You will gain first-hand knowledge of the latest research in OPEX and Continuous Improvement (CI). The event will also feature interactive discussions and workshops to foster knowledge-sharing among participants.

Do not miss this opportunity! We would be delighted to connect and socialize with fellow peers in-person. This event is the perfect opportunity to do so!

Please see the form below for registration. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time via phone or mail.

Best regards from Switzerland,

Prof. Dr. Thomas Friedli
