“…In this research work, supply-related risk holds the first priority in ranking and thus indicates that this risk should be addressed with highest priority. Supply-related risk can be explained as the risk which occurs during supplying the materials (Amin, 2015; Mokrini, Dafaoui, Berrado and El Mhamedi, 2016; Mangla et al , 2015b). In this main risk, there are four sub risks which are fluctuation in imports arrival, lack of information sharing, key supplier failure and non-availability of materials.…”

Purpose Managing risks is becoming a highly focused activity in the health service sector. In particular, due to the complex nature of processes in the pharmaceutical industry, several risks have been associated to its supply chains. The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the risks occurring in the supply chains of the pharmaceutical industry and propose a decision model, based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, for evaluating risks in pharmaceutical supply chains (PSCs). Design/methodology/approach The proposed model was developed based on the Delphi method and AHP techniques. The Delphi method helped to select the relevant risks associated to PSCs. A total of 16 sub risks within four main risks were identified through an extensive review of the literature and by conducting a further investigation with experts from five pharmaceutical companies in Bangladesh. AHP contributed to the analysis of the risks and determination of their priorities. Findings The results of the study indicated that supply-related risks such as fluctuation in imports arrival, lack of information sharing, key supplier failure and non-availability of materials should be prioritized over operational, financial and demand-related risks. Originality/value This work is one of the initial contributions in the literature that focused on identifying and evaluating PSC risks in the context of Bangladesh. This research work can assist practitioners and industrial managers in the pharmaceutical industry in taking proactive action to minimize its supply chain risks. To the end, the authors performed a sensitivity analysis test, which gives an understanding of the stability of ranking of risks.

“…In recent publications that explore the impact of quality objectives on the strategic goals in the pharmaceutical sector, the necessity to investigate new models of QMS to reduce the risk of outsourcing, has been confirmed (El Mokrini et al, 2016;Gummerus, Airaksinen, Bengtström & Juppo, 2016;Low, Halim, Adhitya, Chew & Sharratt, 2016;Uluskan, Joines & Godfrey, 2016;Morrato & Smith, 2015;Zhu, 2016). Although outsourcing as a global business model has already been implemented, both in standard ISO 9001:2015, as well as according to other professional standards (Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Distribution Practice(GDP)), there is a need to develop a new framework, which will include behavioral effects, cultural differences and perceptions of all participants in the pharmaceutical supply chain (European Commission, 2010;European Commission, 2013).…”

Purpose: In this paper, a practical framework is presented for the successful integration of buyers and contract organizations based on the Critical Incident Technique (CIT).Methodology: The initial pool of situations was developed inductively according to qualitative data provided by ten experts in the field of outsourcing in pharmaceutical supply chain. Another group of experts evaluated these situations with regard to their degree of realism as well as relevance and allocated them to the five constructs (1) employee competence, (2) management commitment, (3) communication between organizations, (4) organizational culture, and (5) regulatory framework.Findings: The findings of the study show that communication appears to be the most frequent reason while regulatory framework seems to be the last frequent reason for critical incidents during outsourcing. Contract giver and service provide show diverging perceptions about the situations’ degree of realism and relevance. Analysis of the interrater agreement shows that the allocation to a single construct is a challenge due to the critical incidents’ complexity and multidimensionality.Originality: The critical incidents database and the presented framework serve as preventive behavioral-based quality management for the pharmaceutical supply chain.

“…A prática do outsorcing está geralmente relacionada com funções que estão fora da área de atuação da empresa, permitindo que ela se concentre em suas principais competências, e deixando as atividades secundárias por conta de um fornecedor externo (EL MOKRINI;. Nesse contexto, McIvor (2009) afirma que a lógica do outsorcing está relacionada ao fato de que as organizações devem realizar internamente as atividades que lhes são valiosas, raras e difíceis de imitar, ganhando com isso, vantagem competitiva.…”

RESUMO:O outsourcing é considerado uma prática chave na organizações industriais e prestadoras de serviços, consiste na tomada de decisão estratégica entre produzir internamente produtos ou serviços ou comprar de fontes externas, objetivando a redução de custos e melhor desempenho. No entanto, antes de decidir pela aderência à prática, os gestores se veem diante de fatores que pesam na decisão, os quais demandam análise principalmente do impacto nas atividades operacionais da organização. Nesse contexto, a pesquisa objetivou investigar quais os critérios recorrentes para a tomada de decisão na adesão do outsourcing, na indústria paranaense sob a percepção dos gestores. Quanto aos delineamentos metodológicos a pesquisa é classificada como descritiva com enfoque quantitativo, a coleta de dados se deu por meio de questionário adaptado de Moschuris (2015), nos meses de junho e julho de 2016, a população e amostra foram extraídas do banco de dados da Federação das Indústrias do Paraná (FIEP), como amostra final foram analisadas 33 indústrias respondentes. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que dentre os 11 critérios estratégicos abordados, os itens de custos e qualidade foram considerados como mais relevantes na percepção dos gestores respondentes para tomada de decisão de adesão ou não ao outsourcing. Quanto as dimensões em que as decisões são tomadas, a mais importante foi considerada pelos gestores, foi a da complexidade, seguida de tecnologias e incertezas ambientais. Palavras-chave: Outsourcing. Produzir. Comprar. Redução de custos. Tomada de decisão. ABSTRACT:Outsourcing is considered a key practice in industrial organizations and service providers. It consists of making a strategic decision between producing products or services internally or buying from external sources, with the aim of reducing costs and improving performance.
