Supply Chain Excellence

Supply Chain future trends

Rapid growth and geographic expansion in the biopharmaceutical market is increasing supply chain risks that need to be well understood.

In this talk, Kerry Roche-Lentine, Global Technology Management, will discuss:

• The drivers of the growth and their impact on the increasing risks in the supply chain.
• The importance of choosing a supplier partner who is prepared to manage and mitigate these risks.

Supply Chain forecasts and capacity

The rapid growth in the biopharmaceutical market has raised concern that suppliers are not prepared to support the boom.

In this talk, Aida Tsouroukdissian, Head of Demand Planning, discusses:

• The Sales and Operations planning process (S&OP): how suppliers and manufacturers can partner to meet these challenges and minimize the risk of supply chain disruptions.

Supply Chain business continuity

The complexity of the supply chain in today’s growing biopharmaceutical market increases the probability of a supply disruption.

In this talk, Bob McGuirk, Head of Integrated Supply Chain, will discuss:

• Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning: important components of a multi-faceted approach to help minimize the likelihood and impact of a supply disruption.

Supply Chain Mapping

The rapidly growth and expansion of the biopharmaceutical market is increasing the complexity of the supply chain and thus increasing the probability of a supply disruption.

In this talk, Claire Kazanjian, Head of Marketing Operations, will discuss:

• Ways suppliers can help reduce these risks for biopharmaceutical manufacturers.
• Supply Chain mapping, an important practice that suppliers can adopt to help minimize the likelihood and impact of a supply disruption.

Supply Chain Change Management

Supplier initiated changes create risk for biopharmaceutical manufacturers that can impact drug product quality, safety, efficacy, and security of supply to patients.

In this talk, Dawn MacNeill, Marketing Operations Manager, will discuss:

• How an effective supplier change management practice can reduce the effort required by manufacturers to assess and accept these changes.
• Key components of an effective change management system including risk assessments using a Quality-by-Design (QbD) approach, communications, and qualification data packages.
