What we do
Supply that can be seen, planned and measured.
Our supply chain is managed under formal supplier qualification and material traceability procedures, from incoming raw material through to finished product release and delivery.
Capability
Six functions we hold rather than delegate.
Supplier qualification
Formal qualification of material suppliers, with traceability maintained from incoming raw material through to finished product release.
Demand planning
Forecasting connected back to the manufacturing site, so that production and replenishment planning respond to real consumption rather than to order history.
Safety stock & inventory
Explicit safety-stock policy by product, sized against demand variability and replenishment lead time rather than set as a single blanket rule.
Serialisation & traceability
Serialisation and master-data management appropriate to the destination market’s requirements.
Pharmacovigilance & recall
Adverse-event handling, complaint investigation and recall coordination, with defined responsibilities and tested procedures.
Continuity planning
Product lifecycle and continuity planning, including alternate-source development for inputs identified as single-source risks.
The scorecard
What we ask to be measured on.
A supply commitment that cannot be measured is a statement of intent. These are the measures we propose from the first shipment, reported to the customer rather than assessed internally.
The staged model
Value before capital.
The largest early gain in an import-dependent system is not domestic production. It is a supply chain that can see its own demand. Each stage below has to earn the next one.
Verify & select
Credentials verified, legal and quality model defined, product-level demand data obtained, initial portfolio prioritised.
Supply
Controlled supply of authorised products, with safety stock, quality systems, pharmacovigilance and recall capability in place.
Localise
Warehousing, secondary packaging, labelling, serialisation and QC sampling established in-country.
Manufacture
Technology transfer for a validated portfolio, once demand, cost, quality and utilisation gates are satisfied.
Next step
Availability is usually the presenting problem.
Most conversations start there rather than with manufacturing ambition. That is generally the right order.
