Outsourcing and Insourcing: How Eurofins solves the bio/pharma industry’s challenges associated with meeting drug development timelines and budgets with restricted headcounts
Eurofins BioPharma Product Testing
Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies face a significant challenge to get their drug products developed and launched quickly, all while keeping development costs down. One of the most common ways for companies to lower development costs is to manage fixed headcounts. But when the same scope of work still needs to be completed by a designated time with fewer staff members, this presents a significant challenge. So, how do bio/pharma companies solve this ever so common challenge of increasing output while decreasing headcount? There are essentially three options: temporary staffing, outsourcing, or insourcing.
