Few brand owners have the confidence to reach out to a contract manufacturer due to the many uncertainties that come after they raise their first enquiry. Will the manufacturing process require months of waiting? Must a lawyer be present for the first conversation? Will the brand get any confirmation after the submission of the initial enquiry, or will every brand owner’s query to a third-party pharma manufacturer disappear in the void?
The truth is that this apprehension is justified, and the main reason it is so widespread is the black-box nature of the manufacturing process that awaits any brand at the end of the road. Therefore, let’s go over the step-by-step process that any contract manufacturing partner goes through in order to manufacture any product for a brand that reaches out via the third-party pharma manufacturing process India route.
Step-1: You Send the Enquiry
This first step is perhaps the simplest in the entire process and is, in fact, what the brands are doing at the start of their journey through the third-party pharma manufacturing process India.
In short, the brand shares what they want to have manufactured with us. It can be a specific formulation, an entire category of therapeutics, or something else with specific instructions to be worked out later.
A simple step with a significant caveat of a one-time documentation formality for brands that come on board with us as their contract manufacturing partner for the long term.
Step-2: We Confirm the Order
After receiving the initial enquiry, we go over the details once more and confirm the order.
We consider this a step brands can see, and it’s the second stage of the third-party pharma manufacturing process India for anyone who chooses to work with us.
It’s here the contract manufacturing partner for your pharma needs works out any details that might be relevant to making their third-party pharma manufacturing India services work for your specifications and brand guidelines.
Step-3: We Lock In the Specifics
It’s here that the manufacturing partner and the brand go over all details of the product to be made.
This is generally the point where a lot of the third-party pharma manufacturing process India’s success or failure is decided, with everyone involved trying to lock in rates, MRP, necessary packing, and the brand name to be featured on the product.
Once everything is set and no details have been left out, this is also the point where you, as the brand, can be rest assured that nothing will come as a surprise later during the time the product is being manufactured.
Step-4: Advance Payment Moves Things Forward
With the payment of the advance, the production officially begins in earnest.
We understand that the subject of payment can be a touchy one for many brands, which is why we keep everything transparent and up-front.
Step-5: Artwork Gets Designed
It’s now time for our artwork department to design your packaging according to your specifications, which may have been shared with us earlier.
Remember that the packaging will reflect the branding you want for the product, not the generic look that a contract manufacturing partner may want to use, which is a detail that is often overlooked in the early phases of the manufacturing process.
Step-6: Production Planning Takes Over
The order is now passed on to our in-house PPIC (Production Planning & Inventory Control) team, who will take care of the day-to-day running of your order in our manufacturing facility.
This is generally the last step before your formulation is handed over to QC (Quality Control) labs, where the product goes through the battery of tests before receiving the all-clear for release.
When you read our article on the inner workings of the Bioaltus’s QC lab, you would know that every single order that leaves our facility has gone through this extensive battery of tests and has received the approval of our QC lab before being sent off to the brand.
What sets apart our contract manufacturing process India for brands is one key philosophy that we apply: there shouldn’t be anything mysterious about the manufacturing process, and transparency should be the guiding light at each step.
Some of the factors that contribute to such a smooth third-party pharma manufacturing process India are as follows:
– Straightforward communication at every stage of the process, not just the beginning and the very end
– No surprise additional costs at any point in the manufacturing process
– Our manufacturing capabilities speak for themselves with two facilities in Baddi and Valsad, with all departments operating under WHO-GMP standards
– Our Thane-based team is always available to answer any questions you have as your order goes through every step in the contract manufacturing process India
This is the kind of third-party pharma manufacturing experience that we offer for brands that want to be confident that their product will go through a well-documented, transparent process from the first conversation to the delivery of the first shipment.
What Happens After Your First Shipment
Your first order is only the beginning, and with most brands that come to us looking for a reliable contract manufacturing partner, the next step is generally to place a repeat order for the same formulation, request modifications to the existing one, or expand the portfolio to encompass an entirely new category of therapeutics.
We’ve had brands that came to us for nephrology products, respiratory, and even neuropathic pain products, asking to expand their portfolio using our Bioaltus order to delivery process. Our experience working with a wide variety of brands is what gives us the confidence to say that our processes are able to scale to suit the needs of any contract manufacturing partner.
