Pre-conference Workshop - TUESDAY OCTOBER 23 2007

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

The drive to bring drugs to market faster results in new challenges to more efficiently forecast, manage, and track the complete supply chain. Electronic solutions such as Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Interactive Web Response (IWR) offer great benefits including automated shipping and reduced wastage of medication. Also, simulation can provide deep insights into the behavior of the supply chain and is a powerful tool for planning manufacturing runs and other important aspects of any clinical trial. Finally, this workshop will also touch on the electronic solutions now available to efficiently manage the drug accountability process.

WORKSHOP LEADERS:

Michele Carnevale, Operations Group Manager
Elisa Holzbaur, Operations Group Manager

WORKSHOP AGENDA:

1.30 Delegate registration and coffee for delegates

2.00 Commencement of workshop

Sessions will explore the following key issues:

• IVR/IWR methodologies in supply chain management
• Major types of IVR supply chain management including trigger/re-supply, prediction, randomization code look ahead, just in time
• Reducing waste in dose titration trials
• Using simulation to accurately forecast trial supply requirements
• Electronic management of the drug accountability process

Relevant industry case studies will be presented
