Continuous Improvement at HGS HGS has been putting CI ideas into practice since 2005 Employees now believe that CI can be applied to almost everything that is done at HGS
HGS Prior to CI – Late 2004 • Shifted focus to late-stage Process Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization • Hired senior management from biopharm and large pharma with commercial and CI experience • Emerging business case for CI • Six manufacturing sites of various scales, several administrative buildings and decentralized functions • Redundancy and waste was evident • Significant efforts went in to reorganize and consolidate our facilities

Introduction of Lean - 20052005 Success and Lessons Learned • Groundbreaking at HGS • Most staff were not from other industries, new concepts • Groundswell of excitement with most • Started kanbans • Built inventory excess awareness • Key stakeholders were not entirely convinced • New concept; unproven • Flavor of the month – will this really last? • Measuring success was weak at best • Culture was not entirely ready to embrace – seen as an operations only program
QC Laboratories - Use of Kanbans • QC Inventory and organization problems - Solved

2007 – CI is Contagious! Successes and Lessons Learned • Program transitioned to more integrated program focused on closing operational gaps and inefficiencies • Impact of two FTE’s dedicate to CI • CI no longer an afterthought • PR Blitz raised visibility • Build it and they will come • Choose your projects wisely • We need Sr. Management buy-in • You can not over advertise
Recognition and Rewards CI projects that fall below the limited scope/moderate value reward threshold are eligible for non-cash rewards, such as items from the Company Collection or Amex gift certificates.
2007 – CI is Contagious! Examples of Success Corporate Goal: Complete conformance lots for two programs by 31 Dec 07 • Issue 1: Two batches lost due to contamination • $1.4 million in lost time, materials • Issue 2: Deviation closure • Inefficient, detracts from implementing corrective actions
Identification: Contamination enters manufacturing suites in 5 ways People Equipment Material Resolution: Kaizen to address Material/Equipment flow SOPs aligned for all areas Changes to cleaning strategy appropriate to room classification Cleaning equipment added to airlocks to facilitate cleaning of material/equipment brought into the suite Air Water Issue #1: Lost batch due to contamination
Issue #2: Deviation closure rates • Identification: Improve deviation closure process • QR closure rate below what is expected for commercial production • 65% in January vs. goal of 85% • Resolution: Held Kaizen event to foster new business processes for deviation closure • Revision of SOPs and Work Instructions • Routine forum for Ops Managers • Improved CAPA to reduce the number of deviations • Creation of Manufacturing Specialist role
Business Impact: Deviation Closure Kaizen • Increased QR Closure rate from 65% to >90% • Decreased number of batches lost due to contamination – enabling conformance lot production for ABthrax • Fostered collaborative process review
Old Methodology Departmental focused solution – “I will handle it, leave me alone” Unclear accountability “Let’s just make more” New Methodology Kaizen Cross-functional teams People on the floor Remove things that get in the way FMEA – prevent issues before they occur Changes in Behavior Fostered By CI

Late 2008….CI Strengths • Basic structure established with mission, goals, metrics and CI website • Developed good processes to support program • CI mindset is growing within Ops functions; more generation of ideas from the floor • Having FT CI has driven CI program farther than anticipated • Three out of 5 of the senior Ops mgt have involvement/fully back program
Late 2008….CI Strengths • Project selection • Successfully launched multiple smaller CI projects • Improving project vetting process • Project accountability • FT CI role has been a key driver in pushing teams • CISC implemented sponsor roles • CI Public Relations • Communication via Sr. Ops Mgt meetings has raised awareness and impact • Happy Hours, Company meetings, CI website, café table tents and posters have helped drive visibility
Late 2008….CI Challenges • CI resource buy-in while headcount is tight • Increase high impact CI projects • Increasing the cross functionality of CI participation • Increase ability to financially quantify output from kaizens • Increase communication of business results from completed kaizens • Continuously improve CI program
2008 – Integration of Senior Management to the Program – or – “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em”
2008 - Integration of Senior Management Ops Senior Management (VP’s) Advisory Board Approve project selection View kaizen presentationsAccountable for kaizen completion Serve as project sponsors • Senior and functional management • Most are CI experts • Review kaizen results and impact Feedback on program How & when to expand beyond Ops Full Time CI staff (n = 1) Program strategy & implementation Facilitate CI Team Generate & deliver training Communicate program updates Solicit project approval at DRM Serve on kaizen teams CI Team (25% of time dedicated to CI) CI Functional Experts Drive CI into respective dept Generate project ideas Provide training Remove roadblocks Quantify kaizen outcomes Yellow Belts, Kaizen Team Members, All HGS Employees Participate on kaizens Apply CI within own work groups Raise CI project ideas from the floor
Project Selection Flow Chart • Sr. Mgt Approves CI projects • Sr. Ops Mgt reviews, ranked by CI • May add own ideas to the mix • Decides on those most critical to the business • Assign Sr. Mgt Sponsor • Review and agree to resources and timeline for output • CI Filters the CI ideas • Does some initial data digging • Is this a CI issue or mgt issue? • Complexity? • Potential Impact on business? • Who can lead this project? • Gives it a rating to review at DRM • CI Project Idea Generation • On the Floor: White belts participants, venting, Suggestion Cmte, random conversations • Management: Supervisors, Mgrs, DH and Sr. Ops • CI and functions outside of Ops
Maneuvering the Roadblocks: Resistance • Not in my backyard; broadening the impact • Added non Ops to CI Steering Committee • Executed cross functional projects • 5 S in PD, Manufacturing and Quality Labs • HR Hiring Process • Freezer Kaizen • Move to GPM and inclusion of finance and IT in all projects • Not my resources • Voluntary sign-up for training – when people are free • Flexibility in kaizen project implementation • Involved mgt in commitment to projects & people involved • Increased accountability of CI outcomes • All major functional Ops areas have a 25% resource for CI
Maneuvering the Roadblocks: Balancing Top Down & Bottom Up • Most ideas should be generated on the floor • Dept or functional white belt sessions • HGS Suggestion Committee • 50% come from random conversations with CI folks (“venting”) • But management controls the resources and can prioritize based on business impact • Vet projects and resources to prioritize • Sr. Mgt take on sponsor role • Accountability for results and implementation
Maneuvering the Roadblocks: Lack of Visibility • 2007 – The LISC PR campaign • Rewards program • Goal achievement • Logo contest • All Company Meeting /Happy Hours • Regular updates at management mtgs • 2008 • Built into many individual goals • Finance and IT involvement at project level • Presenting results to Sr. Ops Management • Move CI to Project Management • Future: HGS’ Sr. Mgt / CI Advisory Board
Build it and they will come • Build your business case • Start with outside help then develop an internal program, own it – make it unique to your culture • Demonstrate results – then publish • Involve as many stakeholders as possible • Provide rewards or incentives for CI • Realize that the program will need to evolve—and embrace the changes
