🔍 REGULATORY IMPACT

✓ What are the proposed changes and their regulatory impact?

Recommend: Keep changes to a minimum and brainstorm how to reduce changes. Don't simply follow the SOP of a CDMO.

💰 FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

✓ How do you ensure this transition won't negatively impact COGS?

Recommend: Share costed BOM, work instructions, and labor cycle time as assumptions in the RFQ package.

🔄 OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY

✓ Should the new CDMO adopt your current suppliers or establish new relationships?

Recommend: No supplier/raw material change during the transition period. Plan a long-term strategy to change and estimate associated costs.
