PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLY CHAIN AT A GLANCEIntroduction• Very fragmented & complex framework
• Multibillion $$ industry with global presence
• Very Competitive
• Patient Safety is important, thus requires high regulations (Testing/Tracking by FDA)
Advantage/Benefits of effective Pharma Supply Chain• Reduce Mfg.-to-Mkt. cost
• Minimize cost of non-conformance
• Improve business efficiency
• Reduce waste and scrap
• Increase market confidence & security of supplies
PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLY CHAIN AT A GLANCE
Components similar to other industries
Requires FDA regulations/Test/Tracking European Example & Future progress
RISK MANAGEMENTPharmaceutical Supply Chain Risks:
• Counterfeit (10% of worldwide drug supply: ‘world bank’)
• Outsourcing/Join Venture Risk (Regulations)
• Patient Safety (FDA requires test/track of each drug)
• Distribution/Inventory level (Delay Time-to-market)
• Uncertain Consumer demand (seasonal decease etc.)
√XRISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
RISK MANAGEMENT SUCCESS: PFIZER INC.
• World largest research based Pharmaceutical (Fortune 500:2012)
• > 95 Plants worldwide
• > 300 External suppliers/contract Mfg.
• > 175 Distribution centers
• > 35,000 SKUs
• > 2,109 Global logistics lanes
• > 45500 Shipments
• > 17394 Freight contract lines
Pfizer‘s Effort to Risk Management:• Cargo Theft• Counterfeit Drug• Economically motivated
adulteration• Illegal diversion
RISKS MANAGEMENT FAILURE: FOXMEYER DRUG COMPANY
• A $5 billion company• 4th largest wholesaler in US in 1993~1996• Original Capacity of 420,000 orders per night
• But, R/3 could only process about 10,000 orders per night . • ERP/Management failure?• 3 warehouse closed, $34 million inventory lost
• Hired SAP R/3, Pinnacle automation, Anderson Consulting • ‘Delta III” project to improve its efficiency • Signed large contract to supply University Health system Consortium (UHC)
• CEO resigned• Went bankrupt in 1996.
• Sold to McKesson for $80 million • Sued all 3 for $500 million each
CONCLUSION
• Highly fragmented system because of many players at global level
• Very Complex Supply chain framework
• Highly Regulated by FDA & other law enforcement agencies. Yet, risks exists
• If implemented successfully, huge cost reduction and increased efficiency
• Risk management process is very important and necessary to maintain growth.
• Consequences of success and failures are very high
