Abstract:

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.

This approach has resulted in major competitive performance and cost advantages for companies across many industries.

Case studies illustrating the various topics will be presented:

• Medical Device Case Study
• Pharma Case Study

What You’ll Learn:
