THEME: “Bio-Pharma & Medical Device Strategic Sourcing Summit: Reducing Cost, Lead Time, & Defects”
The world’s leading community of supply chain management professionals in the biopharma industry will come together at Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice at USD on June 24 to focus on the critical issue of Strategic Sourcing in the rapidly globalizing business. The Bio Supply Management Alliance (BSMA) in partnership with the Supply Chain Management Institute (SCMI) of the University of San Diego (USD) will organize the conference to foster the exchange of knowledge, experience and best practices of strategic sourcing from R&D to clinical trials, commercialization, manufacturing and logistics.
Devendra Mishra, Executive Director of the BSMA observed, “The evolution of the biotech industry from being a science to a business has been fueled to a large extent by the relationships between the drug manufacturing companies and their suppliers of raw materials, CROs, CMOs, clinical trials services and enabling technologies across the supply chain. A major driver of this evolution has been strategic sourcing where the issues of cost, quality, inventory and risk are operationalized to enhance the growth and profitability of an enterprise. We are also inspired by the history of the birth of biotech when academia and venture capitalists came together. The event is designed to empower SCM professionals in the large as well as small biopharma companies.”
Joel Sutherland, Managing Director of USD’s Supply Chain Management Institute, remarked, “The partnership with BSMA augurs well for the mission of SCMI and fulfillment of the professional needs of the biotech industry which has a huge presence in San Diego. Our Institute has been committed to the development of strategic sourcing executives.”
