Industry lessons from a fast-track technology transfer of a soft-gelatin capsule (softgel) are multifold. This case study reviews the success factors for effective execution of the technology transfer, which include: strong relationship between the customer, the contract development and manufacturing organization, and other partners based on deep knowledge in the technology; established and proven quality-by-design processes; risk mitigation management; project leadership; flawless execution; and mutual trust.
