Based on research from Industry Standard Research's Contract Manufacturing Quality Benchmarking annual online surveys, more than 125 contract manufacturers were evaluated on 23 different performance metrics. Research participants were recruited from biopharmaceutical companies of all sizes and were screened for decision-making influence and authority when it comes to working with contract manufacturing suppliers. Respondents only evaluated companies with which they have worked on an outsourced project in the past 18 months. This level of qualification ensures that quality ratings come from actual involvement with a business and that companies identified as leaders are backed by experiential data. CMOs have an opportunity to win these awards in up to three groups of outsourcing respondents - Big Pharma, Small Pharma, and Overall (combined Big and Small Pharma).
