compliance across all stages of CaPix development. The strategy will ensure that all employees
understand that it is within the company culture and core values to build a reputation for the
corporation by ensuring there is ethical and legal compliance. The strategy will also ensure
continuous training to employees about laws, rules, regulations, and compliance guidelines
regarding research and development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of cancer drugs.
All the key managers are well equipped with good management practices regarding procurement,
measurement of reagents and reactants, maintenance and cleaning of machinery etcetera. Lastly,
there is a process review team in place which will prepare timely reports on compliance with
rules, laws, regulations, and code of ethics. In addition to the strategy, McKesson has put in place
a product a Product Data Management (PDM) system that will help employees with the
requirement of CaPix drug. The PDM software will centralize CaPix data in a single vault,
including manufacturing instructions (Barkai, 2014).
