08:10 - 08:30 FIRE-SIDE CHAT: Creating Supply Chain Resilience Amongst Global Complexity And A Shifting Product Portfolio

Creating Supply Chain Resilience is more critical than ever before! The “End to End Supply Chain” in a world of over 150 markets, is getting more complex, not easier. The front end is R&D, with the other end being the Consumer or patient, and Manufacturing is everything in between, or they are in the middle. The Supply Chain needs to be able to respond to and be aware of changing governments, customers and payers within all countries.

Global Complexity is created by different time zones, currency, established markets versus Emerging markets. Please think of the differences of doing business in Taiwan versus Russia, or the business differences in countries in Western versus Eastern Europe, or North versus South and Central America! Even how you move products between countries and Regions is changing from Road and Rail to Air and Ocean shipments.

Companies that understand the changes, stay ahead of their competition by Shifting their Product Portfolio. They look at what the end Customer needs and it may be 2 doses a day they can afford to purchase, rather than 4 doses, or 15, 30 or 60. They shift their Product Portfolio because cost and complexity may be more important in some markets or countries around the world than others. They may also choose to focus or make changes from a Brand name to a Generic to allow more Customers to be engaged with their product. “One size does not fit all anymore”.

10:40 - 11:05 FIRESIDE-CHAT: Improving The Robustness Of Drug Shortage Reporting For Markets Where Required By Their Ministries Of Health

Nearly fifty countries require notification of drug shortages to their health authorities and many have significant differences between when and what types of products industry needs to report. These requirements continue to evolve with revised and more demanding reporting needs for FDA and EMA, among others, for example.

What do these changes mean to us as an industry and how we are dealing with it in the course of managing our day-to-day business? In this fire-side chat, David Sponseller of Pfizer will discuss how they are trying to tackle the issues.

Track A: Risk Management

14:10 - 14:30 Collaborating With Suppliers To Enhance Security By Doing Risk Assessments And Creating Common Processes & Procedures
In recent years, companies have faced increasing levels of risk in their supply chains. As the nature of supply chains has evolved, the amount of risk in supply chains continues to increase significantly impairing their performance. Understanding and managing risks early enables prioritization of resources and funding to mitigate risks. This session will cover:

• How to address the complexities of developing a supplier risk program today – key processes, tools and operational efficiencies
• How to embed a Supplier BCP Program within a Supply Chain Risk Management program.
• How to gain a single view of risk and put the appropriate internal KPIs

Track B: Serialization & Security

14:10 - 14:30 Leveraging Data From 2D Matrix Barcodes To Enhance Decision Making, Build Brand Loyalty & Increase Compliance
Unlike any other time in history we now have mobile technology that can be leveraged to provide the tools required to implement initiatives that can improve supply chain security, increase patient safety, reduce costs and support a rapid real time medication recall. A smartphone application and a serialized datamatrix (GS1) barcode on medication packaging can be used track and trace medication in real time to monitor compliance, optimize supply chain efficiency, help identify counterfeits and reduce costs. This session will present a real-life case study covering:

• Ensuring the medication is always available for patients
• Helping prevent counterfeit medication entering the supply chain using medication serialization
• Minimizing waste medication (it is expensive!)
• Assisting in forecasting
• Building Brand Loyalty
• Complying with GMP/ GCP conditions such as expiry date management and accountability
• Complying with upcoming EU and US regulatory requirements
• Providing immediate real-time location of all medication (Track and Trace) in the event of a recall, including identifying who may have received an at risk product

16:25 - 16:45 GS1 Presentation


Bob Celeste

Senior Director, Pharmaceutical Sector
GS1

Sophisticated criminal organizations have been known to steal large quantities of pharmaceutical goods and attempt to re-introduce them back into legitimate supply chains. This type of activity has the potential to put patient safety at risk because improperly maintained pharmaceutical goods, which could be used by unsuspecting patients and/ or healthcare professionals, can be ineffective or perhaps even harmful. There are industry tested and sustained best practices for the security of both the in-transit and storage of pharmaceutical goods which will be discussed in this session:

• Best practices in ensuring integrity of your
product:
-- Temp controls have been maintained
-- The integrity of the package, hasn’t been violated
-- Integrity of expiration date
-- The security of the shipments, no cargo theft

• Examining new technologies that could stop counterfeits coming into the supply chain at any step, to anybody
-- Do we need an app for supply chain security?

• Learn the methods used by these criminal organizations
• Examine several key case studies
• Learn the latest in modern technology used to protect pharmaceutical goods in transit
