The goal of any technology transfer should be to achieve the desired level of
performance quickly and smoothly. Like a jet, the new process takes-off at the
receiving site and delivers the desired heights of performance right from the start
(vertical take-off).

Time
There is a cost associated with most Technology Transfers that tends to stay hidden.
The slow, bumpy ramp-up to desired performance represents cash to the business in
the form of wastes, lower product yields , lost sales opportunities and slower return on
investment (ROI).
