Implementation of a Supply Chain process for a laboratory
Definition and implementation of strategic Supply Chain processes within this laboratory, integration of the APS Futurmaster tool and change management.
01
Problematic
To ensure optimal customer service and meet the constraints of the sector, while controlling its level of working capital requirements and the use of its industrial assets and raw materials (plasma from blood donations), this laboratory wanted to overhaul its strategic Supply Chain processes (forecasts, PDP and S&OP stocks) and the implementation of a specialized tool to support them.
02
“Mews Partners experience combined with their humility towards the teams ensured the success of this project which transformed the way we work.”
Process
Based on the laboratory strategic objectives (customer service objectives, regulatory constraints, level of BFR, level of use of industrial assets), the project group developed the target processes and launched a call for tenders to select the APS tool that will support them.
After a phase of project preparation (organization of resources, implementation of prerequisites,…), this pharmaceutical laboratory launched the implementation project in 3 major areas: project management (provision of expertise, overall consistency control, user support), management of the project and governance bodies, and finally support for change management to ensure the involvement and training of all stakeholders involved.
