All functions of an organization will have an opportunity to learn and gain valuable insight as the 2013 PDA/FDA Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Workshop has been developed to cover the full lifecycle of pharmaceutical products.

Top three reasons why this workshop is critical to attend:

1. Hear what the U.S. FDA has to say and gain insight on other pharmaceutical requirements: Experience the benefit of hearing topics such as import compliance, contract manufacturing and key initiatives on the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

2. Case Studies: Threats to the pharmaceutical supply chain go beyond manufacturing and shipping risks. Additional threats will be covered during the track and trace session.

3. CMO: Approaches for auditing your external business partners and enhance supplier management and qualification processes.

Regulators, companies and suppliers must learn to operate in a more global environment and take accountability for their decision making processes and activities from beginning to end.

Building on earlier PDA-cosponsored conferences and workshops on pharmaceutical supply chains, the 2013 PDA/FDA Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Workshop will explore how various sectors of the regulated industry have adapted to the emerging global culture; address the benefits of modernization and innovation as well as the ongoing challenges of supplier (CMOs, ingredients) management.

This workshop will also provide a forum to further implementation of innovative approaches aiming to prevent illicit acts such as counterfeiting, diversion and economic adulteration from threatening the safety of the drug supply as well as provide an overview of Contract Manufacturing from a variety of perspectives:  The contract giver, the contract provider and an independent third party viewpoint. Sessions will discuss the challenges clients and CMOs face within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry as well as provide thought-provoking case studies on common CMO-based questions about regulatory expectations, corporate responsibility and sub-suppliers.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Provide insights gained from global regulatory, health, and trade organizations that are actively trying to solve pharmaceutical supply chain issues
  • Explain the common challenges the industry faces in ensuring supply chain integrity in the pharmaceutical ingredient and drug product supply chains.
  • Evaluate existing supply chain management practices
  • Evaluate methods to enhance supplier quality management including supplier selection and qualification processes, as well as on-going monitoring and management
  • Evaluate approaches and emerging technologies used to improve supply chain distribution controls for incoming materials and components.
  • Benchmark and discuss best practices with other industry leading companies
