In the last quarter of the year, the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries face one of their most demanding periods.
Companies accelerate product launches, prepare commercial campaigns, and strengthen their stock for the beginning of the following year.
In this context, planning production in advance is not just advisable — it’s essential to ensure project success.
At Sincrofarm, with more than 35 years of experience supporting laboratories and brands in their projects, we are always looking for new alternatives and solutions to minimize the long list of potential setbacks.
That’s why we want to share some of the actions we implement daily to improve our on-time performance.
1. Anticipating demand peaks
The last months of the year combine multiple factors that increase production demand — and pressure:
- Marketing campaigns and product launches before Christmas and New Year.
- Seasonal increase in the consumption of certain nutraceutical products.
- End-of-year closing: that time when everything seems urgent, and everything must be perfect.
Failing to anticipate this surge can lead to delays, extra costs, and missed opportunities.
2. Plan ahead — and replan when necessary
The best way to avoid bottlenecks is to start planning months before the launch.
This means:
- Clearly defining quantities, formats, and timelines.
- Coordinating with your manufacturing partner to ensure machine and raw material availability.
- Anticipating possible adjustments to adapt to market changes.
At Sincrofarm, we coordinate everything — from the smallest order to the largest — to make sure production starts in perfect order.
Our factory stays in constant communication with other departments to replan quickly whenever unexpected situations arise.
3. Optimize communication with your manufacturer
In a high-demand environment, fluid communication is key.
From the beginning, the client should provide all essential project details: formulation, estimated quantities, deadlines, and regulatory requirements.
This allows us to:
- Adjust processes in advance.
- Reserve the necessary production capacity.
- Avoid last-minute changes that could compromise delivery.
Our philosophy is clear: we support our clients before, during, and after manufacturing, ensuring transparency and trust every step of the way.
4. Flexibility as a competitive advantage
In contract manufacturing, adaptability makes all the difference.
Whether it’s increasing production to meet a sales spike or reducing batch sizes to align with real demand, process flexibility is key to achieving objectives without losing efficiency.
At Sincrofarm, this flexibility goes hand in hand with a tailored approach, always maintaining full confidentiality for each formula.
5. Quality and regulatory compliance under tight deadlines
Meeting deadlines should never mean lowering standards.
At Sincrofarm, we operate under GMP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000 standards and FDA registration, ensuring that every product we manufacture meets the strictest technical and regulatory requirements — even during high-demand periods.
Our multidisciplinary team works constantly to ensure that every batch reaches the market with the highest quality.
Conclusion: now is the time to plan
Planning now means reducing risks that could delay your product’s launch when your clients need it most.
The key to being on time lies in anticipating, coordinating, and continuously improving.
If you’re looking for a CDMO partner that combines experience, flexibility, and top quality, our team is ready to support you in your next campaign.
