AVOIDING CLINICAL SUPPLY CHAIN MISTAKES YOU ARE ABOUT TO MAKE
REGISTRATION & MEET/GREET BREAKFAST
Join Luke Moyer, Head of Global Clinical Supply Chain at Incyte, as he leads a fun and interactive workshop targeted to BSMA attendees who are new to the Clinical Supply Chain Role, as well as experienced clinical supply chain professionals seeking to learn and share best practices. Working in clinical supply chain can be intimidating to say the least. It’s an urgent and stressful job with many moving pieces and very few clear answers. Since Luke’s first clinical supply chain job 25 years ago, he’s learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t, and continues to remind us that “every day you work in clinical supplies is a school day.” This workshop is designed to accelerate the learning process for novice supply chain managers, and help sharpen the skills of those with experience, helping them to understand key fundamentals and avoid some of the pitfalls many of us learned the “hard way.”
Topics include:
-
Your forecast is wrong, and that’s okay
-
Building a simple but powerful forecast in Excel
-
The difference between overage and safety stock
-
Stability protocols and supply planning
-
Preventing waste and rework using pull vs. push
-
IRT set-up basics

2:30 – 3:00 pm DISRUPTION & SUSTAINABILITY FOR LIFE SCIENCE TRANSFORMATION USING METRICS & SIX SIGMA (LITE) METHODOLOGY
The Life science industry is past the debate of managing disruptions while aligning to a sustainability agenda. Building resilience and corporate responsibility into organizational DNA is a necessary requirement. While such a transformation can be daunting, steps can be executed focusing on quick wins while aligning to an overall strategy. Such steps involve focusing on leading indicators – metrics which influence lagging indicators. These indicators include lead-time, on time in full and supplier diversity. This will be a collaborative session where a Six-Sigma methodology and a metricized approach will be reviewed and improved upon by attendees.
Sudy Bharadwaj, Vice President, Strategic Engagements, SAP
3:00 – 3:30 pm TRANSFORMING THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK TO A CONTINUOUS PROCESS: MEETING THE DRACONIAN CHALLENGE!
How can drug manufacturers incorporate technologies, in conjunction with forwarders and carriers, to design or select proper packaging and transportation methods to mitigate adverse environmental impacts? How can forwarders/carriers design their SOPs to ensure compliance with Good Distribution Practices? The solution will cover the transportation process of every shipment at every step, considering truck transport, facility storage, limiting tarmac exposure, and timely delivery. The objective is to ensure that every shipment complies with its lane-based transportation SOPs, which validates routes, timing, and product stability limits based on exposure to environmental effects. This can be achieved economically at scale, minimizing product loss, reduced CAPA/SCARs, accurate measurement of forwarder/carrier performance, and a resilient and dependable supply chain. This is like Good Manufacturing Practices, the standard practice for consumer products.

4:00 – 4:30 pm HOW To ENSURE THAT CLINICAL SUPPLIES IS A TRUE ENABLER OF FASTER CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT TIMELINES
- With pharma and biotechs’ ambitions to do more with less, the supply chain easily becomes the center of attention in the attempt to supply trials faster, more efficiently, avoiding any stockout and with lower waste
- Learn how cross-departmental decision-making in the clinical trial supply, protocol design, upstream manufacturing saves time, drug, costs and ensures all patients are treated at all times;
- Through case studies, we will illustrate the reasons why the supply chain is one of the key enablers of faster time to market, with a 2-6 months acceleration in a program.

11:45 am – 12:30 pm TRANSITIONING FROM CLINICAL TO COMMERCIAL: ENSURING SUCCESSFUL PRODUCT LAUNCH
The transfer of R&D know how and governmental compliance requirements to commercial operations is a monumental chasm that must be overcome in terms of people, processes, organization structures and technology, in addition to understanding the inherent cultural differences of science and mass production. Exacerbating the challenge is the complexity of the ecosystem comprising of the drug developer, CRO, CMO, Logistics and FDA. The diverse stakeholders will address the challenges of bringing drug discovery to the market for significantly greater efficacy, higher success rate, shorter lead time and lower cost. Considering that there is a superordinate goal of maximizing healthcare, exponentially higher alignment of businesses is practical.

11:00 – 11:45 am SUCCESSFULLY NAVIGATING THE LONGEST AND HIGHEST DEMAND FOR TRUCKING IN HISTORY
For nearly two years since Spring 2020, demand for trucking has set new historical records. The strain of the post-Covid increase in consumer spending combined with unprecedented shifts in supply chains, with entire industries such as hospitality and restaurant chains temporarily upended, continue to present profound problems for shippers trying to obtain regular, reliable freight transportation. Ports and rail terminals are backed up. Air freight is at record demand. All segments require trucking. Truck drivers are entering business for themselves in record numbers too, skewing the number of drivers toward the smaller size carrier. Hear from industry experts how to secure reliable capacity in cold chain trucking.

2:00 – 2:25 pm ECONOMICAL DELIVERY OF COLD CHAIN PRODUCTS: TEMPERATURE PROFILE OF GLOBAL SHIPPING LANES, THERMAL FOOTPRINT OF PAYLOADS & SIMULATION
Disrupted supply chains and extreme weather conditions generate unexpected challenges throughout the world. A three-fold approach of a virtual cold chain to resolve these issues begins with generation of characteristic temperature profiles of a shipping lane worldwide, based on accurate temperature data from thousands of global weather stations. This leads to the determination of the thermal footprint of a passive insulated and temperature-sensitive payload. Finally, simulation yields a lane-independent performance benchmark to compare different pack outs, configurations, and systems on the market for optimization. A case study of distribution lifesaving products from Europe to India will be presented.
Stefan Braun, CEO, SmartCAE
2:25 – 3:10 pm GLOBAL TRANSPORTATION ECONOMIC REVIEW – INCLUDING AIR, OCEAN, TRUCK AND RAIL
This session will include a comprehensive economic review and update of each mode of transportation. We will detail the state of each mode, and what analysts see as the point at which each may enter a state of relative equilibrium (and if they see that point). If you are involved in any aspect of supply chain and logistics, you will need to hear this. Procurement and logistics managers looking for insights to provide to the C-level and others, this is your session.

It will cover air, ocean, ground, active (powered) temp-control shipping containers, passive (pre-cooled, no-power required) shipping containers, blankets and more. With capacity being as strained as it is, and delays at ports being as long as they are, you might need different techniques. If you’re responsible for temperature-controlled shipping, this is the session you can’t miss.
