Finding 11 experts for an impact project to qualify sources.

The challenge

A project to manage packaging and sterility issues. 

The customer, a big U.S. company that makes generic drugs for over the counter (OTC) self-care, had problems with packaging and keeping products sterile. The company wanted continuous improvement to sourcing diversification, a pillar in its supply chain reinvention program.

They planned to mitigate risk and gain margin benefit by establishing dual or alternate qualification of certain key sources of raw materials. The project timeline was planned to last 2+ years, demanding a group of dedicated, specialized experts. But the client’s internal team didn't have the time to take on the extra work. 

The value

A team of 11 specialty resources in under 42 days.

The team of high-level experts was built in less than 6 weeks, and all retained to ensure quality and successfully hit project milestones, on schedule. They used the client's process to approve new raw materials for with the FDA.

Meanwhile, the client kept the flexibility to convert those people to become full-time hires during or after the project. Ultimately, Kelly helped solve a critical challenge when the client simply didn’t have the resources.
