| Abstract Text: |
In 2007, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals’ manufacturing organization faced a number of challenges, requiring that it revolutionize the way its 17,000 people operated. The case describes alternative methods of systemic change considered by Wyeth, the approach they implemented, and how they rolled out the changes across more than 25 sites worldwide. The transformation of one plant is described in some detail.
The case also describes setting of objectives and expectations, engagement of leaders and staff, and the use of outside advisors. |
