– Gain a good understanding of why Supply Chain Risk
Management is so important & take away key
messages

Wave of change….
The combination of:
– Emerging low-cost suppliers
– Global sourcing beyond traditional boundaries
– Variation in standards & control
has meant that Supply Chain Management is
an increasingly
risky
business!
Areas highlighted….
• Supplier approval & ongoing compliance issues:
– Uncommunicated changes
– Inconsistent QC or yield rates
– Unknown impurities
• Continuity of Supply:
– Single sourcing
– Suppliers ceasing business
• Lack of full Supply Chain transparency:
– Not knowing original source of materials
– Shipper integrity & on time delivery
• Distribution & logistics concerns:
– Security (counterfeiting/theft), cross-mixing, mislabelling, poor storage,
temperature issues, delays,
ISO 9001:2008 …..
• Reference (4.1) states:
– “where an organisation chooses to outsource any process
that affects product conformity to requirements, the
organisation shall ensure control over such processes
– The type and extent of control to be applied shall be
defined within the Quality Management System
– Ensuring control over outsourced processes does not
absolve the organisation of the responsibility of conformity
to all customer, statutory & regulatory requirements.”
ICH Q10…..
• Defines the “accountable organisation” as being
ultimately responsible for ensuring that processes are in
place to assure control of outsourced activities and
quality of purchased materials
• It requires:
– Assessment prior to outsourcing / selection
– Defined responsibilities & communication processes
– Monitoring & review of performance
– Confirmation of incoming materials against agreed supply chain
Regulatory expectations…..
• Expect manufacturers & authorisation holders to
‘‘do the right thing’’:
− Know where the Risks are
− Know how big the Risks are
− Be Proactive, Plan to Control and if possible, Reduce
these Risks
− Communicate these Risks to stakeholders & groups
who can act accordingly, and
− Stay in Control

What we set out to do……..
• Develop a freely available, downloadable Supply
Chain Risk Management Guide (SCRM) based on
the ICH Q9 quality risk management model

organisations & their suppliers adopt a common
approach to Risk Management across the Supply
Chain.
Target audience…..
• Pharmaceutical & Medical Device organisations
• Suppliers / contractors to the above industries
Purpose of PQG Guide…..
•
Encourage all organisations to apply the principles of
Risk Management to minimise supply chain risks &
assure quality & continuity of supply
•
Emphasise to the pharmaceutical & medical device
industries & their suppliers the need to:
•
–
Apply Risk Management when making sourcing decisions
or changes
–
Involve the relevant people
–
Communicate proactively
Provide information that will help supply organisations
understand the regulatory requirements & expectations
of the pharma & medical device industries

Supply Chain tiers
End customer / patient
• Know your supply
chain
• What activities are
critical to the
product?
• Identify potential
hazards &
associated risks
Supplier A
Transport / Distribution
Wholesale / retailer /
pharmacy

Using the PQG Guide…..
• Designed for use by organisations & their suppliers
• Quality Risk Management (QRM) is important to:
o You
o Your customers and
o Your suppliers
• QRM is a business process that:
– Provides a common language for communication
– Assists in defining the scope and rationale for
decisions within the supply chain
Getting started?
• Firstly, understand how Risk Management works
• Define the overall approach
• Focus on areas where it makes obvious sense &
there will be a better chance of success
• Decide what specific goals you want to achieve
• Train /coach people in the relevant tools
• Don’t try to run before you can walk
Structured approach…..
Key messages:
• Cover product
life-cycle
• Should be:
– Pro-active
– Re-iterative
– Communicated
– Reviewed
