Our quality coordinators monitor the alerts and resolve any inconsistencies.
In Canada, we follow Good Manufacturing Practices which allows the products to be traced in a similar fashion in the warehouse.
Across McKesson, we strive to continuously assess and improve our day-to-day processes by applying Lean Six Sigma methodology and principles.
Lean Six Sigma training and methodology has enabled — and continues to enable — employees at all levels of the organization to make data-driven decisions to foster quality-focused improvements and perpetuate continuous improvement efforts for our partners, their patients, and employees.
These projects place heavy emphasis on defect reduction, faster cycle time and reduced waste.
They have helped to reduce the number of variations customers experience and to identify what factors may drive that variation.
In addition to delivering cost-benefit initiatives, one of Six Sigma’s key objectives is to train, coach and mentor employee talent.
This allows us to deepen our culture of continuous improvement across McKesson.
In FY10,210 hours of Lean Six Sigma training courses.
In Europe, we introduced the Green Six Sigma initiative to further anchor environmental and sustainable aspects as a permanent component of the Lean Six Sigma program.

Reducing product waste through enhanced inventory management: non-salable inventory items that cannot be sold, donated or returned to a supplier are sent for destruction.
The McKesson U.S. distribution team collaborated with internal partners to define Standard Operating Procedures and new processes to proactively detect overstock, redirect inventory to a centralized facility and service new customers outside of the McKesson network.
This pilot project prevented items from being destroyed and opened new opportunities for product access and sustainability across the supply chain.
• Original pack dispensing at McKesson UK: pharmacies often de-blister medications and re-pack them into smaller personalized blister packages before delivering them to care homes.
UK colleagues worked with nurses to rearrange the process.
The medications are now delivered to the care homes in their original packaging.
Nurses on site take over the allocation of the medications, supplying the patients directly from the bulk packs.
This saved up to paper medication packs per year.
In addition, medical waste has also been reduced, as the nurses can react directly to day-dependent findings of the patients and do not have to resort to pre-packaged medications.
These are just some of our Six Sigma business process improvement successes.
Patient and employee safety is paramount at McKesson, and our Environmental, Health and Safety policy guides our commitment to provide a safe and healthy work environment.
This policy is available to all employees on our intranet and outlines our approach to ensuring all business operations are conducted with health and safety in mind.
We incorporate health and safety into all aspects of our work, starting with proactive measures.

The primary workplace safety risks at McKesson, and most frequently reported incidents, are related to movements such as lifting and bending.
Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), among other metrics.
Each of our U.S. businesses receives an overall Safety Performance Index score quarterly, which takes into account factors such as completion of Safety Committee meetings and inspections; percent of completed employee safety orientations, certifications and other trainings; and injury rates.
We routinely assess facilities to monitor adherence to established security and safety standards.

McKesson Canada has a robust health and safety program which includes a continuous training program offered to all employees, monthly “set the tone” topics shared to distribution center teams, and ergonomic assessment to improve best work practices.
The program also includes a health and safety executive summary dashboard that is shared quarterly with McKesson Canada’s CEO.
The executive summary provides an overview of health and safety activities over the previous quarter, including information on accidents and opportunities to improve.
If a serious vulnerability is identified, it is documented, and the facility prepares an action plan.
Across distribution facilities, we prepare a monthly leading safety indicator dashboard to measure performance to our standards.
We also maintain an internal database of all major incidents at our facilities, which allows us to investigate the circumstances surrounding the injury or event.
This helps us learn how we can prevent similar incidents in the future.
In the U.S., injury rates (number of recordable injuries per 100 employees) were calculated for both distribution centers and office locations during calendar year 2020.
TRIR and LTIR increased slightly when compared to calendar year 2019.
Reducing workplace injuries The first step to reducing workplace injuries is working to prevent them.
