CONCLUSION
This article aims to illustrate the need to achieve operational excellence with respect to data- and knowledge-management
systems to successfully implement QbD for manufacturing of biotherapeutics. As discussed, there is a great need among the
biomanuacturing industry to apply risk-assessment and management principles to achieve this objective. When done correctly,
this approach is more economical and effective than traditional approaches otherwise used in industry.
