Integrity of Supply Initiative Mission Statement: To determine true root causes related to the challenges of improving Integrity of Supply, and to identify sustainable solutions that can be tied to Return on Investment – returns related to increased safety, decreased cost, improved reliability, or all three.
What causes you the greatest concern related to your supply chain and suppliers? (initial focus on in-coming materials)

Pre-Initiative Assessment January 2012 – August 2012
Pre-Initiative Data • Interviewed approx. 50 people • FDA: each of the industry regulator groups • Companies (6): cross-functional representation • Industry Associations (4): PhRMA, MDMA, GPhA, IPEC • Outside experts: (5) Pharma/Device, (2) Food, (2) General – authors of 12 books • Research • Meetings with Congress – Senate HELP and House Energy & Commerce Committees • New Legislation • Newly released and relevant books and articles • Data Analysis • Comparison of the three industry supply chain characteristics from interviews • Interview data in SWOT format
Root Cause Identification Agility, Reliability, Visibility
Agility Team Objective Improve supply chain agility in the Medical Device, Pharma and Food/Beverage industries by leaning the supplier/materials change process and reducing inherent industry barriers. • First confirm the Key Change Process Areas that require the largest amount of time in Supply Change Management • Second validate root cause of the pain/barrier Can we include you on the survey?
Agility – Regulatory Barriers The regulatory barriers currently in place hinder the agility we need to manage our supply chain in a way that would improve the Integrity of Supply. • So even if we streamline our own processes, we often cannot act as quickly as needed to resolve or prevent issues. • Companies often choose to stay with substandard practices or suppliers due to the hurdles involved in change – internally and with regulatory authorities. • Do you feel barriers • are due more to: • Complexity • Requirements • Bottlenecks
