Ops Rules Hosting a Webinar October 9th with Supply Chain Digest

Sept. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Pharmaceutical and Medical Device companies face the need to transform in order to win. Given the well-known market, regulatory, and competitive forces that place intensifying pressure on their bottom lines, these companies must find innovative ways to drive major operational efficiencies while meeting new market demands. Continuous improvement programs such as six sigma are helpful but are insufficient to drive the level of transformation that is needed. We find that transformation is enabled by well-conceived changes to the operations strategies.

It is now possible for Pharma and Medical Device companies to determine innovative operations strategies quickly and confidently. Armed with insights from new scientific analytical models, executives can develop a revealing understanding of the key drivers of operational performance and how they interrelate. Once understood, these insights help to illuminate the appropriate strategies. Case studies illustrating this will be presented for a medical devices and pharmaceutical companies.
               
The webinar will feature Dr. David Simchi-Levi who is an Engineering Systems professor at MIT and Chairman of OP Rules as well as Bob Bissett, an associate with OPS Rules who has broad expertise in the pharamceutical industry as the Vice President of Business Process Improvement and close advisor for three Merck CEOs.
