Optimizing the Value Stream
West Contract Manufacturing is focused on delivering the highest level of customer satisfaction at the most competitive cost through optimizing total value stream. Building strong partnerships through collaboration is the key to a fully integrated and risk-based supply chain. The Supply Chain Management structure is based on a continuous reach for Lean integration through three key elements:
The West Contract Manufacturing team develops value-added partnerships with suppliers and customers, creating strong communication channels for information-sharing and operational improvements.
Supported by an integrated, global ERP system and using cGMP and Lean practices, the West Contract Manufacturing team has integrated various links in its supply chain through the establishment of JIT, VMI and Kanban stock models, which contribute to minimizing overall lead-time and inventory in the supply chain and maximizing value-add opportunities for customers.
In today’s increasingly complex drug delivery and device development landscape, a reliable contract manufacturing partner can become a distinct competitive advantage for pharmaceutical and device companies. West brings together the right combination of insights and infrastructure to help our customers reduce costs, mitigate risk and accelerate path to market.
Every pharmaceutical company wants to maximize speed to market for a new drug product. One way to enable this is with a platform approach for the package and delivery systems – in other words, to use the same vial containment system and/or syringe system for multiple drug products. To use this approach effectively, component and system performance data is needed. Through the Integrated Solutions platform, West is ideally positioned to provide this data.
Combination products open up new vistas when it comes to delivering innovative therapies to patients in need, but teams bringing these products to the market face a number of significant hurdles. Recent surveys conducted by West at workshops held in PA and AZ have revealed some of our customers’ biggest challenges. This is the second of three blogs focused on these challenges — and how West can help Simplify the Journey™ when it comes to developing a combination product.
