Theme of the day
Designing Novo Nordisk’s future manufacturing footprint
At Novo Nordisk, 7 strategic manufacturing sites today serve 28 million patients in 170 countries around the world. The supply chain network is designed based on complex factors and trade-offs. In some cases, products are produced in countries further away from markets, and in other cases, it may be more feasible to produce products closer to markets due to strategic, regulatory or cost reasons.
With increasing future growth in emerging markets and a growing product portfolio, the focus of Novo Nordisk is on optimising the future manufacturing footprint to be ready to meet the fast-changing world of tomorrow. This is where you as a case participant come into the picture.
Your assignment will be to analyse the current state, understand the challenges of the future and design a solution that deals with these challenges. You will get access to both qualitative and quantitative data, and you will get a chance to talk to both Novo Nordisk representatives and consultants from Implement Consulting Group.
