The globalization of manufacturing and supply of medical products has created unique and demanding challenges for the Life Sciences industry and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration alike. In light of recent adverse events, industry and regulators are preparing to take significant steps to secure the Global Supply Chain.

Perhaps the most significant FDA move is to emphasize brand owners’ full responsibility for all outsourced components and manufacturing that contribute to their products. To identify key initiatives Life Science companies are undertaking to address the issues raised by FDA, Axendia conducted a research study "Global Supply Chain Visibility and Control; Business Necessity, Regulatory Imperative." Join us to learn the key findings of the research, including:

• The current state of Global Supply and Value chains
• The desired state of Life Science supply chains
