What does it mean to be world class for Supply Chain teams in a global pharma company? We examined just that at our recent offsite. Diving into how we have handled challenging activities during the last year like product introduction with an alliance partner, poorly performing suppliers, changes to master data responsibilities, improving artwork processes and transferring serialization and aggregation responsibilities to a CMO. Key factors for our success included cross-functional teamwork, accountability, and communication. We have succeeded with most challenges and the exercise proved a good way to celebrate our achievements! We also identified some improvement areas like stakeholder management, ability to sustain knowledge in our organization and strengthening understating of end-to-end flows and processes. Please share if you have worked (successfully) with these topics in your organization... On a side note, I was recently promoted, to me a solid confirmation that our organization is world class when they can be their best ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Huge thanks to all of Supplies, Master Data & Projects, to my leadership team Tina Kirstein Thygesen, Anne Katrine Irgens, Katrine Eriksen, Hilary K., and Omar Christensen, to our P&O partner Charlotte Ellermann and to my manager Kristian Sibilitz for sparring, pushing, and guiding.
