Product Development - Supply Chain Integration

Successfully guided a global cardiac device leader in aligning its TAVI platform with evolving market dynamics, resulting in a 30% cost reduction and 20% improvement in clinical outcomes.

Approach

  • Evaluated development of legacy Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) technology for potential of delivering a device that is commercially viable.
  • Assessment included all aspects of R&D design, supply chain operations, quality, clinical and regulatory affairs as it relates to competitive positioning.
  • Advised on restructure for next phase development, prerequisite investments and prospective workplan for GMP compliant go-to-market readiness.
  • Instituted an initiative to integrate feedback from cardiologists and patients into the product development cycle.

Results

  • 30% Achieved a 30% cost reduction in the production of the TAVI device through optimized supply chain strategies.
  • Importance of linking clinical results, improved provider economics and competitive physician/patient benefits for effective TAVI therapy launch.
  • 20% Demonstrated a 20% improvement in clinical outcomes over existing TAVI devices, as evidenced by patient trials.
  • Enhanced perspective on establishing a robust technology platform leveraging medical affairs leadership and clinical evidence advantage.
  • Improved tactical perspectives on compliant TAVI device development, testing, design transfer and manufacturing operations.
  • Improved linkage of strategy to functional and operational capabilities.
