2Who is Creo Quality?
- To organizations wishing to pursue life science
opportunities, Creo Quality provides strategic
solutions in a way that leverages existing
experience, relationships and networks in the
life sciences industry.
3Manufacturing in Indiana
- Manufacturing in Indiana did very well from 2001
to 2006 In a declining sector, we excelled.
(Indiana economist Morton Marcus) - Decreasing margins in some sectors due to rising
costs of inputs, a shrinking customer base, high
labor costs, and import competition - For every job lost at the big auto makers, 4x as
many jobs are lost at auto-parts makers - One new manufacturing job can result in up to 3.6
additional jobs in a region
4Indianas Life Science Movement
- Primary Mission Job Growth through Economic
Development - Primary Focus Early Stage, Innovative Companies
and Attracting Major Life Science Companies to
Indiana
5Is Life Science the Answer?
- Indiana a leader in number and concentration of
life sciences related jobs - Expected to grow 10-20 faster than employment
generally - The Indiana Life Sciences Initiative goal of
enabling Indiana to build on its traditional
manufacturing economic base - Availability of grants, tax incentives, and
special financing for companies
6Current Challenges
- Fragmented due to lack of collaboration
- Employers in medical manufacturing face workforce
gaps - Little to no focus on existing manufacturing
capabilities and service providers
7Making the Transition A Case Study
- Autocam (Kentwood, MI)
- Founded in 1988
- Supplier of precision-machined components
- Utilizes Toyota Production System
- Primary Industry Automotive
- Established Autocam Medical to focus on medical
device products (implants, instruments, etc.) - Incorporated existing technology and capability
8Life Science Transition Strategy
- Strategy versus Tactics
- Strategy a careful plan or method the art of
employing plans toward a goal - Tactics the art or skill of employing available
means to accomplish an end the set of actions
taken to fulfill a strategy - Strategy focuses on the entire forest whereas
tactics focus on individual trees
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to
victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise
before defeat. - Sun Tzu (Chinese General,
circa 500 BC)
9A Holistic Approach
- Feasibility Analysis and due diligence to
evaluate new opportunities - Situational Analysis to identify current
situation - Market Analysis to identify and evaluate market,
competitors, risks, etc. - Strategic Planning and business plan development
- Organizational Development including recruiting,
screening, and training - Program Management to bring visibility to all
projects within an organization and the effect on
organizational resources
10Summary
- Indianas Life Science Movement is here
- Major opportunities for manufacturing, component,
and service providers to meet growing life
science needs - Adopt a strategic approach before jumping in
