Common medical devices
challenges by role
- “Pandemic risk management is delaying non-critical procedures”
- “Negotiations are tougher because of consolidation: hospitals, doctors groups, clinics, purchasing groups, and MCOs buy in bulk at lower costs and apply margin pressure”
- “Many people are second guessing forecasts - Limited visibility and collaboration around assumptions”
- “Developing emerging nation infrastructure creates a demand for life science products in different markets”
- “Heavy regulation and political pressure on pricing impacting selling approach”
- “Difficulty managing inventory in across multi-tier supply chain (MFG Sterilization, CDC’s, regional DCs, Hospitals)”
- “We have Limited Visibility and Collaboration with Tier 1, 2 Suppliers around Constraints”
- “We have small production runs, much of the work is labor-intensive, prompting production moves to lower cost countries such as Ireland, Mexico, and China.”
- “We have difficulty sensing end patient demand”
- “We have constraints not adequately modeled in the Planning System – Execution deviates from plan”
- ”Our medical device manufacturing is highly specialized, and rapid industry innovation is greatly increasing risk of obsolescence”
- “Our AOP /finance process is disconnected from the rolling forecasts of our S&OP process”
- Consolidation: hospitals, doctors groups, clinics, purchasing groups, and MCOs buy in bulk at lower costs and apply margin pressure
- “Our S&OP is conducted on PowerPoint – A big productivity drain and highly ineffective meetings”
Aim big, start small, iterate rapidly.
