Product Details

A packaging supplier for a pharmaceutical firm proposes an innovative cost-saving measure for the next clinical trial: instead of dozens of custom labels for participating countries, the company can create one universal booklet label with a page for each. A senior clinical-supplies manager must weigh the proposal before presenting it to the clinical team. Were the efficiency and cost savings worth the hassle? This fictional case is designed for a first-year operations module on supply chain management.
