Vetter launches Project Management Quality Assurance Program

Employees to receive IPMA certification

09-Apr-2009 - Germany

With a new state-of-the-art project management program, Vetter will help pharmaceutical and biotech companies to better control the quality and costs of their pre-filled injectable product manufacturing processes. Vetter has launched an extensive quality assurance program for its project managers, which ultimately should lead to their certification by the International Project Management Association (IPMA).

“Before commercial manufacturing ever begins, we spend years working together with the customer on packaging and production processes,” said Jochen Alberstetter, Vice President of Project Management for Vetter. First, the basic tools of project management were introduced in the entire company. “By undergoing an IPMA audit, we can now help our clients benefit from the highest-quality project management available.”

The IPMA has set up a rigorous process to test project managers and ensure they are prepared for the tasks that lie ahead. Each participant in the certification program must have at least three years of experience in project management, plus two years of practical work leading a project. The candidate is assessed on a wide variety of criteria, including the ability to plan, control, communicate and solve problems. Certification then is awarded to those who demonstrate deep organizational knowledge, as well as leadership qualities.
