6 STRATEGIC SOURCING INITIATIVES Create a Strategic Sourcing Team within the Purchasing Organization to facilitate and lead Utilize cross functional teams to create “Buy In” Approve additional Purchasing staff to maintain organization’s ability to maintain infrastructure support while working to drive other on-going cost savings efforts Allow budget dollars for team initiative needs such as contractors, market consultants, temp labor, etc. ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN

12 Building Relations Building a strong relationship with critical suppliers is the greatest challenge for Supply Chain professionals. Suppliers need to be handled with the same “care and feeding” you give to customers …

13 Building Relations … but suppliers need to understand that the Pharmaceutical Industry has changed and that today we all face ‘shark infested waters.’

14 Building Relations Because suppliers faces similar challenges in technology and process changes, Supply Chain staff should help suppliers understand the benefits and impacts of being the “Best of the Best” through... Aligned Objectives Teamwork

15 Building Relations Pharmaceuticals faces the challenge of slowing “top line” sales. … to focus on controlling the bottom line. In the past top line sales drove revenue and profit but now these market pressures has driven the industry… Revenue Spend Profit

16 Building Relations Benefits for Suppliers: Increased sales and establishment of strategic relationship due to leveraged volume spending Improved customer satisfaction due to improved product and process visibility Improved market share within customer’s organization due to reduction in maverick spending Process efficiencies through use of electronic transactions WIIFM Supply Chain Professionals must focus suppliers attentions on the Benefits of working together.

17 Building Relations The bottom line is that suppliers want to perform beyond our expectations because they understand the benefits of working to become a valued partner in our individual supply chains.

19 Understanding Contracts Teamwork A critical piece of the puzzle is building the contracts that organize, define and and clarify how we will do business with our suppliers.

20 Understanding Contracts Good contracts are more than words on a piece of paper … …more than drawings, diagrams, and legal terms … … more than prices or signatures. Contracts define the working relationship between us and our suppliers. They should also define the relationship of our suppliers with their suppliers. … and so on. True Supply Chain

21 Understanding Contracts Good contracts mean all parts … … going in the same direction Specifications Terms and conditions Pricing Logistics and Inventory Master Agreements Statements of Work Outline Agreements Intellectual Property Deliverables Service Levels Warranties and Guaranties Remediation or Termination StrategicTacticalTransactional

22 Understanding Contracts Cross Functional Review A critical component of contracting is thorough cross functional review especially utilizing: Finance Legal Safety, Health & Environment Quality Management Engineering Manufacturing Information Services

23 Understanding Contracts Good contracting saves time … … and time is money

25 “Enterprise Spend Management” Business Challenges “Spend data is too time consuming to compile, and often there isn’t enough data or available data is not accurate.” “The sourcing process takes too long to complete…I am swamped with paper forms and spreadsheets, and analyzing vendor responses is like comparing apples to oranges.” “Everyone does his/her own purchasing… no one knows we have preferred suppliers and negotiated contracts.” “The requisition transaction is complicated and not everyone has access to the ERP system.” “Invoices are sent to the requesters who keep them for weeks, even months. Our suppliers are upset that they are not getting paid on time and the AP department has no visibility to the outstanding payables.”

27 “Enterprise Spend Management” The objective of spend management is to focus on spend for sustainable savings: “Spend-centric" focus — systematically aligning the organization's mission, resources, and processes around effectively managing spend Implement closed-loop management processes that deliver continuous feedback by capturing spend data and supporting best practice spend management strategies Enable companies to constantly measure and improve their results — so they can find the savings, get the savings, and keep the savings on an ongoing basis Spend Management Solutions include: Data Warehousing & Analysis Solution Electronic Sourcing Solution Electronic Procurement Solutions including: eBuying, eContracts, and eInvoicing platforms

28 “Enterprise Spend Management” A Key Priority Pharmaceutical organizations must recognize the opportunity to drive business value and process efficiencies in its procurement operations. Commit to achieve expense reduction goals in delivering value through spend management. Spend management becomes a key priority. Drive initiatives with targeted benefits. Develop projects to drive value through spend management processes, tools and techniques.

29 “Enterprise Spend Management” Traditional Purchasing: Time intensive, paper based transactions Transaction processing, tactical focus Limited time & focus on supplier management Limited competitive landscape Lack of visibility to negotiated contracts and preferred suppliers Maverick spending Lack of spend data, limited spend analysis Spend Management: Electronic transactions, intuitive user interfaces Reduced purchasing intervention Reduced cycle time in sourcing activities Increased time and focus on spend and supplier management Full visibility to contracts and preferred suppliers Reduction of maverick spending Improved spend data capture and reporting capabilities Improved spend leverage Improved process effectiveness Increased purchasing savings

30 “Enterprise Spend Management” To be successful in spend management, an organization must recognize the change impacts to various groups of stakeholders. Two groups of stakeholders that will experience significant changes in the area of spend management are suppliers and purchasing professionals. Lessons Learned Potential Impacts to Suppliers:  Technical requirements to participate and support new technology  Adoption of new processes to support new technology  Training of personnel to perform new roles and responsibilities  Less competitive, non-strategic suppliers may not retain/gain business with existing customers Benefits for Suppliers: Increased sales and establishment of strategic relationship due to leveraged volume spending Improved customer satisfaction due to improved product and process visibility Improved market share within customer’s organization due to reduction in maverick spending Process efficiencies through use of electronic transactions

32 Enterprise Spend Management creates greater business visibility and speeds reaction time by creating a centralized data model and rapid enablement of best practices across a corporation.

33 “Enterprise Spend Management” For the next generation of Supply Chain excellence, ‘Managing Spend’ is not optional; deciding how intelligently you will do it is the only issue at hand. Executives must create a culture of fiscal discipline and back that up with an enterprise spending management system that enables every employee to participate in keeping their own companies competitive. Do this and you create a legacy of increasing value in the long term while providing solid and impressive results in the short term.
