08:00 - 08:10 Chairperson’s Opening Remarks
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”.

09:00 - 09:30 Achieving Excellence in a Complex Environment: The Path to Networked Visibility and Control
In this session, learn how leading pharmaceutical companies are using cloud technology to achieve supply chain excellence across their end-to-end, global value chains. Leaders in the industry have
clear visibility into business processes and can rapidly respond to real-time changes when they operate in a scalable, agile and connected environment. Operating as a network is the only way to gain control of business beyond the four walls of the enterprise – and it is the only path to value in today’s complex supply chains.

09:55 - 10:40 Supply Chain Visibility PANEL: Getting Information From A Variety Of Systems Into One Location To Extract Information And Make Decisions In Real Time
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.

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
• Become familiar with a risk-based analytical approach to developing an effective supply chain security program

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

Track B: Serialization & Security
14:30 - 14:50 Take A Strategic Global Approach Towards Serialization To Drive Commercial Benefits Beyond Compliance
Regulations are making you implement a serialization program, but have you thought about the value that serialization can bring to your organization beyond just adhering to regulatory requirements? In this session, you will learn the many benefits of serialization, specifically when viewed from an enterprise perspective, and how a best practices approach to serialization
will provide commercial benefits beyond those of just meeting regulatory requirements. In addition, attendees will learn how to overcome implementation challenges in a complex and ever-changing global environment.
Track A: Risk Management
14:50 - 15:10 Implementing Control Towers To Increase Flexibility, Redistribute Inventory, Clear Cost & Enhance Compliance
Almost every major pharma company has been impacted by an unexpected incident (s) in the last few years that caused a disruption in the supply chain. Whether it was the Japanese Earthquake, flooding, a faulty supplier, quality challenges stalling production or a combination of all of the above, risk management and mitigation has come top of mind for supply chain executives in recent years. Part of the strategy to reduce risk has been implementing control towers. This session will cover:
• Building agility in your supply chain
• Getting to grips with control towers to improve data information and visibility
o Are they valuable?
o What is the ROI?
• Understanding how to work with supply chain partners to effectively implement control towers
o How do you exchange info in a timely manner?
• Compliance: How do you use control towers to improve regulation management?

16:45 - 17:30 SECURITY PANEL: Discussing The Latest Security Risks & How To Mitigate Them
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
