Working with international suppliers who meet our high quality and operational standards is fundamental. We follow strict control measures, including auditing suppliers to make sure they adhere to the same standards that we set ourselves.
Uninterrupted delivery, worldwide.
Our business continuity planning and supply strategy ensure we can consistently manufacture and deliver critical medical devices through our global distribution network – so patients always have access to life-enhancing treatments.
Minimising risk, maximising reliability.
We proactively manage risks across our supply chain to reduce the impact of disruptions – from logistics and supplier issues to natural disasters and cybersecurity threats.
By focusing on supplier excellence and robust contingency planning, we guarantee consistent delivery and maintain the highest operational standards.
Proactive planning for supply security.
We assess both tier-one and sub-tier suppliers for quality, reliability and commercial health. Critical supplier features like capacity, capability and partnership potential are key to our risk evaluation.
To safeguard supply, we apply strategic inventory policies and dual-source planning for vulnerable materials and components.
Adapting strategies to stay ahead of disruption.
We manage supply chain risks using proven methods like avoidance, prevention, mitigation, sharing and acceptance. These practices are embedded across our global manufacturing operations.
Regular reviews mean our risk strategies remain effective, asking key questions. Are they still fit for purpose? Have risks changed? Do we need to adapt?
