AMRI then assess each project in terms of its complexity, scaleability, likely batch strategy and other considerations. AMRI gathers a group of top experts in the company at this stage to identify key issues and come up with ideas for progression, regardless of who the final project manager will be. After that AMRI creates a proposal, focussing on shortening timelines, improving yields and quality and reducing costs. Having created a proposal AMRI assign a project team, lead by a designated Project Manager. Upon project competion AMRI conduct a review of the project and request and receive customer feedback.
