This book was released on 2020 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative, collective case study covers the experience of strategic decision making in a pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing environment in Puerto Rico during the current economic crisis. The medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in Puerto Rico was selected because of the tax expirations targeting this specific industry and the predominance on the island this industry represents in the manufacturing environment. Despite Puerto Rico’s dominance in medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturing over the past 60 years, the current financial and government crisis poses a significant threat to executive level commitment toward maintaining operations on the island. Research questions focused on plant manager’s experiences and perspectives regarding the strategic decision-making process. Participant interviews included executives indirectly overseeing regulated facilities in Puerto Rico, four plant managers for medical device facility on the island and representatives of their direct staff, a former global operations leader for the pharmaceutical industry, and an economic representative in Puerto Rico. The interviews in conjunction with direct observation and document reviews of the four facilities provided the qualitative data used to develop a guideline of specific strategic decision making factors for future plant managers on the island and the results of the impact the external environment on the island is having on plant managers. The study concludes with recommendations for future research and application. The intent of the recommendations is to support continued manufacturing growth on the island.

Download or read book Alignment Strategies for Drug Product Process Development and Manufacturing written by Christopher John Garvin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transfer of information between the drug product development and manufacturing organizations is fundamental to drug product commercialization. This information is used to characterize the product-process interaction and ensure manufacturability, and to set operating ranges at fill/finish sites. Amgen has successfully commercialized drug products for years, yet opportunities exist to improve the efficiency of process development and technology transfer, and to better align the equipment, procedures, and data collection of the groups involved in these activities. We identify improvement opportunities and develop a strategic approach, which we term the "Pilot Plant Cooperative," to enable more efficient and effective commercialization. The benefits of this strategy are assessed in three case studies: (1) a capital investment project for new laboratory filling equipment, (2) enhanced data generation in clinical manufacturing, and (3) efficiency improvements in early-stage process development studies. Based on these studies, we make specific recommendations for future work. We make additional procedural and cultural recommendations, including revising capital investment processes and implementing alignment-focused incentives and hiring practices, to ensure widespread alignment is achieved and maintained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Berlin (Master of Business Administration), course: Strategic Management, language: English, abstract: If you take the words of a former General Electrics (GE) employee to define strategy, William E. Rothschild said, “What do you want to achieve or avoid? The answers to this question are objectives. How will you go about achieving your desired results? The answer to this you can call strategy.” This statement not only highlights the need for strategy but also the need to bring strategy to fruition. Companies should not only devise strategy but also successfully clarify and execute their strategies. This means that a company has to be able to measure its strategic success. Unfortunately, company strategy is not always transparent or understood in the same way by a company’s key players. Sun Tzu, a Chinese military strategist who wrote the military treatise The Art of War, praised this aspect for strategies in war as follows: “All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved”. The Strategy Map created by Kaplan and Norton is to facilitate corporate strategy development and execution providing a missing link between strategy formulation and strategy implementation by identifying the key internal processes that drive strategic success and by aligning investment in people, technology and organizational capital for the greatest impact. The first part of the assignment describes in detail the theoretical framework of Strategy Maps. The second part uses the theory to describe and visualize the Strategy Map of General Electric Medical Systems (GEMS) – the world’s leading manufacturer of diagnostic imaging equipment. This practical approach is based on the publication of Tarun Khanna about GEMS in the Harvard Business School Press in February 2003. In conclusion, there is a brief up-to-date situation on GEMS after 2002 and some statements to the authors’ experience in creating the GEMS Strategy Map.

Download or read book Organizational Strategy Development for the Pharmaceutical Industry written by Hyuk Kim and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation aims to develop a new direction, in stakeholder management terms, for the pharmaceutical industry to deal with its risks/challenges, particularly in relation to the access to essential, life-saving medicines, posed by its various stakeholders. The organizational strategy development framework of this dissertation is comprised of five phases. The first phase investigates the implications of the stakeholder management perspective for the organizational strategy development in terms of the pharmaceutical industry, examining the concepts, theories, and empirical evidences of extant studies. The second and third phases present a new analytical approach in stakeholder analysis terms, linking stakeholder analysis with organizational strategy development. The stakeholder analysis of this dissertation is performed by adopting two different types of the formal qualitative analysis - an event structure analysis and a qualitative comparative Boolean analysis -- examining 48 major global public health-related cases (which consist of 146 events) from 1987 to 2007. The stakeholder analysis examines: the key stakeholders of the pharmaceutical industry; the circumstances/conditions under which the pharmaceutical industry has put measures of stakeholder management into practice; and the types of the measures that have been adopted by the pharmaceutical industry to deal with its stakeholders in conjunction with the ability to gain access to essential, life-saving medicines. The fourth phase constructs an analogical reasoning model for the pharmaceutical industry in comparison with the food and beverage industry. In the last phase, a specific stakeholder management strategy for the pharmaceutical industry is suggested: i.e., the comprehensive, proactive, multi-stakeholder public-private partnership. This strategic option is developed based on the outcomes of the stakeholder analysis combined with those of the analogical reasoning model. The new strategic direction for the pharmaceutical industry suggested in this dissertation provides an integrated approach to the industry's strategic decision making to satisfy the multiple types of stakeholders simultaneously. It is expected that this new organizational strategy for the pharmaceutical industry can be a useful tool to realize a comprehensive win-win situation: i.e., for the pharmaceutical industry in the stakeholder management terms and for its stakeholders in the access to essential, life-saving medicine terms.

This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resilient supply chains are crucial to maintaining the consistent delivery of goods and services to the American people. The modern economy has made supply chains more interconnected than ever, while also expanding both their range and fragility. In the third quarter of 2017, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria revealed some significant vulnerabilities in the national and regional supply chains of Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The broad impacts and quick succession of these three hurricanes also shed light on the effectiveness of the nation's disaster logistics efforts during response through recovery. Drawing on lessons learned during the 2017 hurricanes, this report explores future strategies to improve supply chain management in disaster situations. This report makes recommendations to strengthen the roles of continuity planning, partnerships between civic leaders with small businesses, and infrastructure investment to ensure that essential supply chains will remain operational in the next major disaster. Focusing on the supply chains food, fuel, water, pharmaceutical, and medical supplies, the recommendations of this report will assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency as well as state and local officials, private sector decision makers, civic leaders, and others who can help ensure that supply chains remain robust and resilient in the face of natural disasters.
