Raw Materials/Supply Chain

Point Counterpoint Session:
Integrating Raw Materials and Suppliers into a Pharmaceutical Quality System

8:00
Co-Chairpersons' Remarks:
Duncan Low, Ph.D., Scientific Executive Director, Process Development, Amgen, Inc.
Wolfgang Noe, Ph.D., Vice President, Bioprocess Development, Biogen Idec

8:05
Risk Assessment and Management for Raw Materials
A holistic risk assessment approach is described, including supplier capabilities, quality systems, and material safety data. In addition, an assessment of material properties on the process, which links parameters to critical quality attributes, is required. The information required is significant but the outputs can result in a clearer prioritization of the data required, more rational setting of specifications, avoidance of redundant testing and a better foundation for continuous improvement.
Duncan Low, Ph.D., Scientific Executive Director, Process Development, Amgen, Inc.

8:30
Supply Chain Risk Management Methodologies
Using case studies, this talk will demonstrate the usefulness of applying an analytical driven sourcing methodology to mitigate risks within a company's supply chain. In addition, this talk will address Biogen Idec's approach to ensure objectives of assurance of product supply, product quality and financial compliance within the supply chain through a instituting a decentralized GMP sourcing model. Issues like organizational approaches, governance structures, sourcing tools and risk management techniques will be discussed.
Joydeep Ganguly, Associate Director, Manufacturing Sciences, Biogen Idec

Case
Study
Supplier Perspective on Risk Assessment and Management of Critical Raw Materials for the Manufacture of Biological Therapeutics
The pharmaceutical market is requiring greater characterization and transparency of the supply chain for critical raw materials used in manufacturing due to the continuing need to minimize variability and increased regulatory oversight. This presentation will focus on techniques for characterization and a case study on how these techniques improved our understanding of the solubility of these components to enhance the consistency of the manufacturing process.
David Kolwyck, Technical Manager, SAFC, a division of Sigma Aldrich
