5G technology has arrived, and just in time. As a result of COVID-19, the world seems to continue having an insatiable appetite for high bandwidth services. We can work with clients to help get value out of their current assets and estimate, plan, and deliver on the rollout of new technology when the market is right for it.

Pharmaceutical and medical device technologies and operations are rapidly changing. Over the last decade, pharmaceuticals has evolved with new breakthrough drug classes including mRNA, cell and gene therapy and therapeutic approaches like microbiome, personalized medicine and digital health. Medical devices have also transformed with new innovations and opportunities in digitally enabled, connected products services such as smart devices and implants, surgery and materials and manufacturing technologies. At the same time, both pharmaceutical and medical device companies continue to face challenges from pricing pressure, supply chain disruption and uncertainty, rising costs and regulatory changes.

PLS operations strategy can help pharmaceutical and medical device companies develop and execute effective strategies to evolve, drive growth, and improve performance, while helping boost their operations, business models, and investments for competitive advantage and sustained growth. Our key focus areas include:

• Digital Operations: Leverage digital technologies and advanced analytics to help boost operations, reduce costs and enhance customer experience.
• Supply Chain Management: Design and implement supply chain strategies that can help improve efficiency, reduce risk and increase agility. 
• Operations Transformation: Transform operations through process optimization, organization redesign and technology enablement.
• Manufacturing: Improve manufacturing operations by helping increase production processes, reducing waste and improving quality.

Companies that deliver commodities or consume them in their manufacturing operations typically have a market-driven mandate to keep the cost of services and products affordable. In short, nearly every company needs an executable hedging and portfolio strategy to deliver on this mandate while helping maintain an increasing margin. PwC’s team of professionals can help you develop these strategies, taking into account sustainable initiatives, and deliver them through improved technology and business operations. We help execute strategies across industry and sector through a deep understanding of the power, energy, metals, and agricultural markets.
