From the standpoint of a biomedical company, I don’t believe sending document for review ahead of time, would necessarily imply that your documents will be reviewed faster. Given the large number of projects that a company might have at a time, your document will mostly like be buried until its actually review date approaches. However, to expedite the review process, the project manager might consider taking extra time to review it as this might help catch and decrease the adjustable errors before the documents reach the review team. In addition, the project team might set up intermediate unofficial reviewing milestones throughout the life of the project. Those meeting might even be online if in-person meetings aren’t possible. With this two approaches, the documents sent to the reviewing team will certainly have less needs for update , hence less time spent in during the reviewing process.
