 Biotech Building the Biotech Supply Chain:  Adolescence to Maturity:  What Does it Take?” 

The Biotech industry has grown up in the last 30 years from wild ideas to business success.  Many best practices have been established in the development of molecules from research to commercialization – but the desire to retain creativity and innovation has often stifled the shift to full industrial maturity.  Pressure continues in the healthcare sector to drive efficiency – how can we deliver this while retaining innovation?  This presentation will cover case studies of successful implementation of efficiency improvements while enhancing creativity and innovation, and offer some provocative ideas of where supply chain in our industry could go in the future.  

  • Susanne Somerville, Vice President, Supply Chain North America, Genentech-Roche

1:15pm-1:45pm

 Biotech Supply Chain Vision: Meeting the Global Transformational Challenge” 

Business is entering a new economic era where volatility will be the new normal. Unanticipated events can be expected to occur at ever-accelerating rates of speed, leaving scant margin for errors in judgment or preparation. This global transformation is prompting executives to re-think supply chain operations to better align with corporate strategies for growth and profitability.  End-to-end supply chain integration, with an understanding of where value can be unleashed, will no longer be a “nice-to-have” but a fundamental requirement of supply chain strategy.  There is a huge opportunity for today’s life sciences supply chain executives to quantify how net profitability – or “costs-to-serve” – can be maximized to achieve corporate goals.

Good Distribution Practices Regulation – USP Chapter 1083

Understand the new standards proposed in USP Chapter 1083 Good Distribution Practices and how they offer best practices to help ensure supply chain integrity, and reduce risks of counterfeit or mishandled medicines.  Supply chain integrity involves minimizing risks from the sourcing of the biopharma raw materials to the manufacture of the medicinal ingredients, and also to the finished dosage form (medicine) itself in its packaging and its distribution to a patient or consumer. The goal of good distribution practices is to encourage sound business practices that help deter interference and manipulation by bad actors and also to provide effective means to detect adulterated drug components and drug products to prevent them from entering the supply chain.

PANEL: Strategic Management of Suppliers:  Maintaining Efficient Manufacturing Operations In the emerging global market place of the biotech industry, focus on suppliers and their suppliers has become a formidable challenge as their impact on manufacturing and delivery to patients can sometimes be onerous. The capabilities and actual performance of suppliers as well as the characteristics of the supplied ingredients not only impacts manufacturing operations, but also determine the quality of the final finished product to be consumed by a patient. As a result, identifying, monitoring and controlling the suppliers’ process variables and the raw material specifications are essential to ensure excellence in manufacturing operations. In this context, limited resources in an enterprise make the task of managing suppliers in a proactive and value-adding manner very difficult.

“Disaster Prevention and Business Recovery: Are You Ready?” Whether the business is small or large, an emergency response to a disaster and the subsequent impact on business continuity can be a daunting task. The extent of the impact will vary depending on the characteristics of the disaster, time of year, specific areas of the company impacted, and duration, among other things. Business continuity plans should go beyond simple evacuation plans. These plans should be specific, tailored to the operations and encompass all facets of the business. Development of these plans is also a proactive way to prevent an occurrence from becoming a catastrophe.

“S&OP Execution to Dynamically & Optimally Respond to Volatility in a Global Supply Network” Alignment of sales, operations and financial plans has been successfully realized with the help of systems, tools, best practices and organizational structures in major enterprises.  However the supply chain executives continue to identify S&OP execution to be a formidable challenge.  Demand volatility in the global marketplace, disruptions in the supply chain, recognition of commitments made, constraints in capacity, outsourcing, tools of optimization and lack of integrated systems make it harder for companies to effectively execute their plans undergoing continuous revision.  A proven solution will be presented with dynamic, optimal replanning in order to respond to execution changes which integrate all the necessary segments of supply, manufacturing and delivery to maximize customer service.  Synchronization of demand with supply across the global supply chain is a unique characteristic of the solution where iterations of the plan are executed with unprecedented speed.
