Lodestone is Main Event Partner of LogiPharma Europe 29 to 31 March 2011 in Geneva, Switzerland 

Lodestone Management Consultants will be present at the Logipharma Europe 2011 conference as main Event Partner.
This year the conference will celebrate its 10th anniversary. The conference will  focus on supply chain challenges including: optimizing distribution models, successfully operating across emerging markets, supply chain agility and security, ensuring product quality across the pharmaceutical logistics network, enhancing the S&OP process,  and developing supply chain leaders of the future.
Lodestone will host Day 1 of the conference and have a presentation on Day 2 on "Virtualization of the Enterprise: From Design to Implementation" providing deep insights into Contract Manufacturing, as one example for externalization. Current changes to the market are leading to a fundamental re-evaluation of what a Life Sciences company is and what it needs to do to be prepared for the future. Few Pharmaceutical companies can afford to ignore the potential advantages that come from use of Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) - but many are struggling to realize the benefits they anticipated. The focus of the presentation will be on

•    Market drivers and limitations to externalization
•    How to design the CMO network and related processes
•    How to implement the CMO network and enhance related business processes and enabling computer systems
•    How to monitor performance, ensuring quality and continuous value add from your partners

We look forward to seeing you in Geneva from March 29 to 31, 2011.
