The Competing Globally track also featured a presentation on Quality by Design, made by Russ Somma, President, SommaTech LLC, who worked for several years at Novartis and is also an editorial advisor on PharmaQbD.com. Mr. Somma joked that the industry never had quality by accident, "We don't just lumber along and wait to fall apart, but the question is: Did you ask the right questions at the right time?" There's a need to better define process needs and required capacity early on.
