Abstract: This paper examines the logistical and operational issues relating to technology transfer. It documents the specific problems encountered as well as the solution designed to overcome these problems. The paper presents a model for technology transfer that incorporates a sequence of stages or steps that should be considered when planning, scheduling and executing a transfer from one location to another. The model ensures that roles are clarified, appropriate training is undertaken, validation processes are considered, supply to the market is maintained and all relevant information and equipment is transferred in a controlled, timely and cost effective manner.
