Building and institutionalizing risk management into the pharmaceutical supply chain

June 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Why Should You Attend:

Never has the pharmaceutical supply chain been subject to such challenge – issues of product adulteration, counterfeiting, poor compliance records and multiple opportunities for error have become endemic in the industry. Even US congress is deeply concerned following the Consent Decree raised against J&J/McNeil.

This webinar aims to get at the heart of why we are experiencing increasingly dysfunctional outcomes within the supply chains for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products.  The seeds of these issues are sown early on, in drug discovery and development, and carry-on forward into today's complex commercial supply chains. To counter this concerning trend, the webinar discusses how scientific, technical and managerial staff can build and institutionalize risk management approaches (as advocated in ICH Q9) into the drug development and commercialization process.

The webinar will show how you can institutionalize risk management as early as possible in the development process, ideally in pre-clinical project teams, and then building risk management activities into the routine of drug development project plans and company objectives.

Areas Covered in the Seminar:

- Understand the process of risk management as recommended by the International  - Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidance on Risk Management, ICH Q9, and the associated benefits of using such an approach.
- Be able to link their own particular circumstances to the wider product development and business environment risks, so as to maximise their own personal contribution to the organisation and also the contributions of colleagues.
- Have a clear understanding of the Regulatory expectations for risk management in the pharmaceutical industry of the 21st century.
- Develop an integrated view of risk through the application of powerful tools and processes that result in full ‘buy-in' to mitigation plans from key stakeholders.
- Take back to their work setting new approaches towards risk and ways of operating in project team and wider organizational issues.
- Learn how the application of supply chain management (SCM) competencies can dramatically reduce risk of failure in the supply chain.
- Feel far more confident that they understand risk management as an integral part of their regular operations, rather than an ad hoc event.
