Why Implement a Supply Chain
Risk Assessment Program?
• When evaluating risk in a supply chain, it is not IF a
disruption will happen, it is WHAT will occur and
WHEN
• Research(1) shows that firms with supply chain
disruptions have between 33% and 40% lower stock
returns
• Having a plan for identified risks enables a faster
response to supply chain issues
• There will always be an event you DIDN’T plan for!

Why Implement a Supply Chain
Risk Assessment Program?
• Global Events
• Natural
• Japan Earthquake/Tsunami/Fukushima Nuclear incident (2011)
• Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland (2010)
• Hurricane Katrina and Rita (2005)
• Man-made
•
•
•
•
Economic/Political
Terrorist incidents (Domestic or International)
War
Global warming
Why Implement a Supply Chain
Risk Assessment Program?
• Local events
– Accidents
– Supplier bankruptcy
– Supply Chain visibility
• Where do your suppliers get their materials from?
– Local weather (flooding, tornadoes)
– Regulatory issues
– Production issues
• Process failures
• Lack of capacity
• Unplanned demand
• OR A COMBINATION OF LOCAL AND GLOBAL EVENTS!
Example - Acetonitrile(2)
• Acetonitrile is a by-product of acrylonitrile, used to make plastic
parts, and is used by pharma in small quantities to measure
impurities
• 2008 Olympics
• August - China shut a plant making acetonitrile to reduce pollution in
Beijing
• September – Hurricane Ike shut down an acetonitrile facility in Texas
• September – Start of the Financial markets collapse
• Lehman Brothers failed, Merrill Lynch sold
• Economic downturn caused significant reduction in plastic part
demand
• Demand for acrylonitrile dropped (plastic parts)
• Production of acetonitrile dropped
• Supply decreased

• Price increased
Japan Earthquake/Tsunami/
Nuclear incident
• Sendai quake in 2011 was 178 times bigger than Kobe
in 1995
• Major automakers Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi
and Suzuki temporarily suspended production
• Toyota had parts supply issues for several months
• Disrupted the global supply chain of semiconductor
equipment and materials
• Japan manufactures 20% of the world's semiconductor
products
• World Bank estimated the cost between $100-$235
billion, and take five years to rebuild
Global Earthquake Statistics
(3)
• Number of 8.0 or greater earthquakes in the
last 10 years? - 15
• Number of earthquakes from 7.0 to 7.9? - 151
• Number of earthquakes from 6.0 to 6.9? - 1597
• The SF Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 was 6.9

Typical Small Pharma Situation
• Mostly pre-NDA environments
• Virtual manufacturing business
• No internal manufacturing
• Focus on R&D and introducing a drug to the market
• Supply Chain Management (SCM) not an established
function
• Supplier management led by scientists/engineers in virtual silos
• Lack of resources for SCM
• Everything scheduled for “post-approval”
• Complicated supply chain flow in place
• Geographically and economically
Step 1: Management Buy-in
• ISSUE: Company focus on submitting the
NDA/resolving technical issues, not on Supply Chain
• Low priority for Supply Chain activities
• Obtain approval from senior management to carry
out a risk evaluation
• Ensure they approve the use of the existing in-house process
experts
Step 2: Brainstorming
• Brainstorming - 4 hour session

Mitigation
Plan strategic inventory
- API
- Final Drug Substance
- Final Drug Product
Short-Mid Term - Add additional manual lines
Long-term - Automation
1. Supplier 1 has multiple AC units
2. Review and monitor Supplier 1 disaster recovery plan
3. Develop plan to move material to 3rd party storage
1. Automated data entry system to be implemented
1. Mitigate liability by closely managing inventory.
2. Review supply chain financial health quarterly
1. Develop second sources
2. Keep inventory in duplicate locations
1. Develop plan for alternative processes/material
1. Develop second sources
1. Develop second sources

Senior Management Approval
• Important step!
• Summarize results and present to senior
management
• Plans include all risk evaluation levels 1 and 2
with their mitigation plans
• Manage risk evaluation levels 3 and 4 through
supplier managers, with SCM oversight
Senior Management Approval
• Management approve and resource plans for
the highest impact/highest probability risks
identified.
• Create inventory and production plans to
reduce impact of other identified risks
• Should be a good, educational experience for
the team
• Start the business thinking to be longer-term than
just the NDA/Approval/launch of the product
Continual Review
• Implement periodic internal review of risks and
the mitigation plans
• Use the same core project team as the initial Supply
Chain Risk assessment
• Quality teams have taken a similar approach to
quality risks, and implemented a similar
program for quality risks and mitigation
• Once business is in commercial production,
program should be reviewed and take a larger
role in the Supply Chain organization

REMEMBER: If you aren’t doing the “sniff test”
on your supply chain…….
…. you won’t be prepared for the outcome!!
