Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals
Engagements: Global ERP Implementation, Project Portfolio Management, Cross-Regional Leadership
The Story of Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals
Mallinckrodt, a global pharmaceutical leader, engaged Executive Option to manage a large ERP implementation portfolio across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). The goal was to streamline operations, integrate regional systems, and align local processes with the global enterprise model.
The Challenge
Coordinating ERP deployments across multiple countries posed challenges of compliance, language, and currency, while also requiring strict adherence to global standards. Diverse regional needs risked creating fragmented operations, and without proper alignment, the company faced inefficiencies and regulatory exposure.
The Execution
Executive Option directed ERP and bolt-on solution delivery, including integrating DSI APIs with JD Edwards. Offshore, U.S., and European teams were managed under a unified program framework, ensuring consistent quality and collaboration across time zones. Local needs were addressed through stakeholder workshops, while solutions were aligned to the global enterprise model. By driving standardization and scalability, Executive Option enabled Mallinckrodt to achieve regional compliance while strengthening its global IT strategy.
