Consulting in the pharmaceuticals and medical devices sector

The market environment for companies in the pharmaceuticals and medical devices sector is undergoing dramatic change. While “product” demand for healthcare is constantly growing, the pressure to control costs and make changes is massively increasing, due to ever-evolving statutory requirements, new competitors, and new distribution channels.

ROI Management Consultants supports companies in the pharmaceuticals and medical devices sector in turning these changes to their advantage.

Our work here focuses on:

• Increasing R&D efficiency
• Laboratory organization and research logistics
• Adaptation of lean production principles
• Process optimization in production through kaizen
• Redesign of the entire supply chain
• Creation of new distribution networks and channels
• Projects to reduce G&A costs through lean administration

It is becoming particularly important to adapt lean management principles to the special concerns of pharmaceuticals sector, since many of pharmaceutical companies are only just now beginning to use them. Key concepts are definition of the “right” investment policy, segmentation und specialization vs. multi-purpose, creation of flexibility, introduction of the pull principle, process stabilization, etc. 

In addition, due to the high cost of raw materials in the face of relatively low added value in production, management of the entire supply chain and supply chain security are becoming more important, for instance, through active inventory management, including with upstream suppliers.
