Mid-sized Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) face increasing pressure to enhance operational efficiency while ensuring regulatory compliance. This presentation explores the implementation of a modular Manufacturing Execution System (MES) as a strategic approach to digitization that transcends mere compliance. By adopting a flexible, scalable MES framework, PharmaPath streamlined production processes, improved data integrity, and fostered real-time decision-making. The session highlights key benefits such as enhanced traceability, reduced time-to-market, and improved resource allocation. Furthermore, it discusses the phased implementation approach, focusing on quick wins and offering best practices for successful integration.

• How can a modular MES implementation enhance operational efficiency and flexibility, allowing to adapt quickly to changing market demands?
• What specific benefits does digitization beyond compliance offer regarding data integration and real-time decision-making for manufacturing processes?
• In what ways can a modular MES framework support continuous improvement initiatives and foster innovation in product development for mid-sized contract development and manufacturing organizations?
