Pharmaceutical supply-chain specialists reviewing manufacturing records and site documentation together

Engagement model

Structured oversight, from first call to quarterly steering

We work as an extension of your operations function — not as an advisory layer that hands over a report and departs.

How the work holds together

A flexible mandate with one accountable operating path

Scope adapts to the company’s maturity and immediate constraint, while evidence ownership, decision rights, and on-ground follow-through remain constant.

Diagnose

Establish the verified baseline across site execution, quality evidence, contracts, capacity, and supply risk.

Design

Set the intervention scope, governance cadence, owners, thresholds, and decision gates around the critical path.

Execute

Work directly at the CMO/CDMO interface to close gaps, test evidence, and protect committed milestones.

Sustain

Convert operating insight into scorecards, steering decisions, continuity actions, and repeatable controls.

Flexible scope

A priority workstream, defined project, or retained regional mandate.

Principal-led

Senior ownership remains close to evidence, escalation, and decisions.

Built to continue

Controls are embedded into the company’s existing operating rhythm.

Onboarding sequence

01

Discovery & scoping call

A 60-minute technical session mapping your product portfolio, current CDMO sites, and the specific gaps in batch, cost, or regulatory visibility.

02

Governance diagnostic

A written baseline covering site risk, contract exposure, and corridor integrity, with a prioritized remediation sequence across the four modules.

03

Mandate activation

Principals deploy on the ground, oversight cadence is agreed, and reporting formats are aligned to your quality and finance teams.

04

Quarterly steering

CDMO scorecards, capacity allocation decisions, and COGS reduction targets reviewed with company leadership every quarter.

Commercial structures

Three ways to commission the work

Scope and fee structure are agreed after the governance diagnostic, against the site count and volume under mandate.

Fractional SCM Management

A retained monthly mandate where we act as your resident supply chain function in Asia across one or more sites.

Project Qualification

A fixed-scope engagement for a single site selection, tech transfer, or commercial re-benchmarking exercise.

Governance Oversight Only

Quarterly steering, scorecards, and escalation support layered over your existing vendor relationships.
