ELI LILY Company Case Study

ELI LILY Company Case Study
(Manufacturing Strategy)

Company Introduction
? Founded in 1876 ? Second largest Pharmaceutical concern in the US and 8th

largest in the world ? Serves in Pharmaceutical products, medical services and diagnostic and animal products ? Manufacture and distribute its products in 25 countries ? Sell products in 120 countries ? Main Competitor1. American Firms- Bristol Myers-Squibb, American Home Products, Johnson and Johnson, and Pfizer. 2. Non American Firms-Ciba-Geigy, Hoechst, Glaxo, Bayer, and SmithKline-Beecham

Industry Trends(in the 1980’s)
? Globalization

?Difference

in the national healthcare market

diminished ?Increasing complexity in Government approval and testing procedure ? Slower rates of innovation ? Government involvement ?More Government intervention ?Higher standards of environmental and product safety ? Shorter product life cycle ?Intense competition

Existing Product Development Cycle

CREATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS
? Discovery of chemical compound. ? Analysis of chemicals required ? Experimental tests conducted on animals ? 3 phase of clinical trials on humans: ? Phase1 : Trials tested whether the drug was safe for

humans at recommended dosages levels ? Phase 2: Demonstration of whether the drug actually worked for the application claimed for it. ? Phase 3: Simultaneous testing of safety and efficacy of the drug in larger patient populations than the first two phases ? Filing of NDA with the United States FDA

PROCESS DEVELOPMENT & RESEARCH
? Determination of the sequence of chemical

reactions required to synthesize the particular compound ? Clinical trials in laboratories ? Clinical trial in Pilot plant ? Refining of process and yield for large scale commercial manufacturing environment ? Transfer to one of the company’s bulk chemical manufacturing sites

ANALYSIS OF ELI LILY THREEFOLD FRAMEWWORK
? The Manufacturing strategy has been analyzed using

threefold framework
? 1. What is the current scenario of Eli Lily?
? 2. Where does Eli Lily want to be? ? 3. How will Eli Lily proceed from where it is today?

Stage 1: Analysis of current state of Eli Lily
SWOT Analysi s
Strength Strong Research Careful Management Second-largest pharmaceutical concern in US Opportunity Affluent and aging populations-New Customers No differences in Health care market Government coordinating evaluation Weakness Manufacturing strategy is reactive and lacks coordination and contribute little to corporate strategy Threats
Rising development costs Slower Rates of Innovation Shorter Product Lifecycle Interventionist government

Stage 2 : Where does Eli Lily want to be in the coming years?
? Competitive analysis

? Lilly’s

major competitors in North America included Merck, Bristol Myers-Squibb, American Home Products, Johnson and Johnson, and Pfizer. ? Worldwide, the largest non-American firms were European, including Ciba-Geigy, Hoechst, Glaxo, Bayer, and SmithKline-Beecham. ? Most of these had enjoyed growth rates comparable to or better than Lilly’s. United States-based firms accounted for 42% of world sales in 1990.

Stage 3: How will Eli Lily proceed from where it is today?
? By revamping current manufacturing strategy and

implementing new one.
? Strategy & Manufacturing Competency

? Make Manufacturing strategy a part of corporate

strategy ? Focal Point- Process Development and Improvement so as to:
• • Shorten entire FDA approval Produce Product required for clinical test more quickly

Implementation Plan (Strategy Development)
? Plan 1: Increase the investment to improve the

manufacturing processes for successful products that are already on the market. ? Plan 2: Commit to process improvement for a product (or products) that is not yet on the market, but which appears overwhelmingly likely to succeed. ? Plan 3: Commit substantial resources to a selected basket of products, very early in their development lifecycles.

Methodology
? The three strategies are evaluated through AHP

(Analytical Hierarchy Process)
? The criteria for evaluation are ? Cost ? Potential risks

? Potential market share

Scale used for AHP

AHP Matrix
? After Alternative v/s Criteria and Criteria v/s Goal

following AHP matrix was obtained

Synthesizing Final Priorities:

Making the Decision:
? As per AHP results,

? Release before 2nd phase with a priority of

0.7276, is by far the most suitable candidate. ? Release after 3rd phase, with a priority of 0.615, is second, and ? After 2nd phase/before 3rd phase, at 0.2126, is third. ? The Board should choose Release before 2nd phase as a new strategy.

Product Phases
100 Products

Phase 1&2

Phase 3

25Products

75Products

Fail in Phase 3

5 Products

Fail in Phase 1& 2 20 Products In market

Analysis using EXCEL Calculation

Analysis –Plan 1
? Regular process cost=

$.58Mn

? After launch process cost= $1.16Mn

(As process improvement is done after product is successful in the market)
? Only 20% of the product that enter are launched in the

market.

Analysis –Plan 2
? Cost of Process Improvement in Phase 3= ? After launch Process Cost=

$1.16Mn $.58Mn

? 20% of the products that enter Phase 3 are launched in

the market.

Analysis –Plan 3
? Process Improvement Cost in Phase 1= $1.60Mn ? Process Improvement Cost in Phase 2= ? Process Improvement Cost in Phase 3= ? After launch process cost=

$1.60Mn $1.16Mn $.58Mn

Per unit costs decreases by implementing any of the three plans
