Executive Summary

The transfer had to be executed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with international travel restrictions, limited onsite resources, cross-cultural coordination needs, and time-zone differences between global cross-functional teams.

Objectives

• Transfer sports-medicine manufacturing operations from Switzerland to Mexico
• Support knowledge transfer, process validation, and documentation readiness
• Launch final part numbers into production
• Maintain quality, regulatory, and business-continuity requirements

BEPC's Role

BEPC provided project management support for the transfer, helping coordinate cross-functional teams, validation priorities, documentation readiness, and production ramp-up activities.

Scope & Approach

• Coordinated end-to-end transfer activities from Switzerland to Mexico
• Supported knowledge transfer between global teams
• Prioritized validation strategy for critical equipment systems
• Enabled production ramp-up while maintaining quality and regulatory standards

The team relied on structured remote coordination, disciplined documentation tracking, and prioritized validation planning to keep the transfer moving despite limited travel and onsite availability.

Outcomes

The transfer established a scalable Juárez manufacturing footprint for sports-medicine products, strengthened supply-chain resilience, expanded capacity, and positioned the site to support future demand while maintaining expected MedTech quality standards.

Metricas clave

• Production launch: 59 final part numbers launched (Production enabled in Juárez)
• Documentation readiness: 603 manufacturing documents completed (Documentation package prepared)
• Equipment validation: 13 critical systems validated first (Prioritized validation strategy)

Evidencia visual (descripcion)

• Manufacturing-transfer visual for production ramp-up and line readiness in Juárez.
• Transfer map visual representing Switzerland-to-Juárez coordination and validation milestones.

Trust & References

Moving production from Switzerland to Juárez only works if quality arrives with it. BEPC's coordination of validation, documentation, and ramp-up gave us a scalable footprint that meets the same MedTech standards our customers expect anywhere in the world.
