Managing clinical trial supply chains is already growing increasingly difficult because of geographic expansion (primarily into emerging markets) and the complexity of pharmaceutical and life science products, including combination therapies diagnostics biomarkers and specialist drugs such as biologics therapies, diagnostics, biomarkers and specialist drugs, such as biologics.
Following strategies are emerging to be critical for managing the local/ regional partnerships and global logistics that will be necessary to operate clinical supply chains successfully over the next decade as healthcare become more outcomes- focused.

Risk management process is typically ad hoc. Need strong process for Risk ID.
Getting To The Unknowns/Knowns & Unknowns/Unknowns – Effectively And Realistically Integrate Existing Supplier Intelligence
PwC Point of View
• “Mature” RM Models have blind spots
• Supply chain risks are program risks
S li d h l ith t i i k
Risk “Radar” Must be Enhanced
Unknowns

D • Suppliers need help with certain risks
• Need to tap into supplier intelligence to develop a better “Risk Radar” (further reaching/expanded view, early warning of changing risk profile)
• An objectives-based approach will result in better alignment of objectives with suppliers,
discovery/communication of more
“unknowns”, and will assist in discriminating risks (reduce clutter)
