Project Objective: Study the market of North india and learn the bottlenecks at RDS point, ABI level and FLM level. Also formulate an error free system to overcome these problems. Methodology to be adopted: Take a sample of 2 ABI H.Q, RDS in metropolitan market and also 2 ABI H.Q, RDs in upcountry and study the problems faced in filing of claim. Brief Summary of the Project: Johnson & Johnson has 314 distributors in North India which are being taken care by 20 A.B.I (Area Business Incharge) and further they have 4 F.L.M (Front line Managers). The company launches various invoicing and retailer schemes for promotion of sales and hence the RDs file claim for the retailer schemes which has been a complex task and till date we do not have a perfect system for the same. A problem free claim filing system is required to ensure the completion of claim filing within the specified time period and also free of any errors. Johnson & Johnson has 314 distributors in North India which are being taken care by 20 A.B.I (Area Business Incharge) and further they have 4 F.L.M (Front line Managers). The company launches new offers for the distributors in order to promote its sales and examples of such offers can be 3% scheme launched in April on savlon soap 75 gm and 125 gm. The claim filing procedure has been a complex task and till date we do not have a perfect system for the same. A problem free claim filing system is required to ensure the completion of claim filing within the specified time period and also free of any errors. CLAIM Claim is an amount asked to be reimbursed by the RDS on account of certain scheme been run by him in the market which was asked by the company to be run. Claims are not only limited to the schemes but also they are for the damages of goods. Claims can be any of the following types: Primary Claims Secondary Claims Permanent Window Display Visibility Damages Coupons Hanger Claims do not have any limitation, they can be for anything (for schemes run in the market, for any expense reimbursement, company parties etc) and every claim is different from the other. However all of have one thing in common and that is they ask for reimbursement from the company Procedure of Filing Claim DISTRIBUTOR ↓ AREA BUSINESS INCHARGE ↓ FRONT LINE MANAGER ↓ REGIONAL MANAGER As of today the claim filing procedure is very simple i.e the claims are filed by the distributor to their particular AREA BUSINESS INCHARGE and the ABI’s forward it to the FRONT LINE MANAGERS who further pass it on to the REGIONAL MANAGER. Appropriation Number Appropriation number is a specific number assigned to a particular scheme/activity for a particular period which may or may not be for a year. This number gives the appropriate amount assigned for the promotion of a particular product for a particular period which may or may not be for a year. This helps the marketing and sales department to have a control over the spending . Example of receipt of appropriation number: pl note...

Also these claims tell us that how efficiently the scheme has been utilized. The appropriation number comes from the head office along with the budget allocated for that particular SKU and once the claims come we get the amount used out of that budget provided to us which is very important. So, these claims should come on time. AREAS TO WORK ON In order to make a perfect claim settlement system there are various areas which require special attention and to ensure the claim reaches the office on time and get sanctioned every month and those areas are: Distributor Area Business Incharge Front line Managers The claim submission system should not only be free of any problems but also simplified to ensure that there is less amount of hard work required for settlement and it should easily be cross checked.

  • Diabetes Close up December Supplement, 2005, No. 53 J&J To
    Diabetes Close Up December supplement, 2005, No. 53 J&J To Buy Animas in Sublime Strategic Play T h e S h o r t e r V e r s i o n From the Editor: J&J’s LifeScan announced December 16 that it intends to buy Animas Corporation for $518 million in cash, or $24.50/share, a 35% premium over Animas’ closing price the 15th. We think this acquisition makes very good strategic sense – essentially, it’s the #1 glucose monitoring company buying the #2 pump player. In many respects, this was a classic J&J deal – Animas is newly profitable this year, the deal is immediately accretive, and it offers J&J an excellent leg up as it enters the pump market. Too, J&J had owned ~10% of Animas for some time. Now, while Animas is #2, it is still far behind leader Medtronic MiniMed, whose new(ish) leader, successful cardiac surgery veteran Bob Guezuraga has really impressed the diabetes community. Smart, ambitious, and seemingly hyper-focused, he appears very serious about taking the business to the next level and leaving success in diabetes as his legacy. What could be better for patients than significant focus industry-wide on better physiologic delivery? As competition heightens, we expect innovation to move faster – all good, from a patient perspective. Details on the acquisition are below – what J&J gets, what Animas gets, and what’s next. What a way to end what’s been a very dynamic year in diabetes … --Kelly L. Close DCU #53, December supplement 2005, J&J Buys Animas in Sublimely Strategic Deal.

    Case 1:17-cv-03982-AJN Document 1 Filed 05/25/17 Page 1 of 21 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SUZANNA BOWLING, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, CASE NO. Plaintiff, v. CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT JOHNSON & JOHNSON and McNEIL NUTRITIONALS, LLC, JURY TRIAL DEMANDED Defendants. Plaintiff Suzanna Bowling brings this action on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated against Defendants Johnson & Johnson and McNeil Nutritionals, LLC (“McNeil”) (collectively, “J&J” or “Defendants”). Plaintiff makes the following allegations pursuant to the investigation of her counsel and based upon information and belief, except as to the allegations specifically pertaining to herself, which are based on personal knowledge. NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. This is a class action lawsuit regarding Defendants’ false and misleading labeling of Benecol Regular and Light Spreads (together, “Benecol Spreads”), each of which uniformly claims that the product (i) contains “No Trans Fats” and “No Trans Fatty Acids,” and (ii) is generally recognized as safe for human consumption (the “Misrepresentations”). However, Benecol Spreads contain trans fat through the use of partially hydrogenated oils. Thus, the labels on Benecol Spreads are false and misleading. Case 1:17-cv-03982-AJN Document 1 Filed 05/25/17 Page 2 of 21 2. In June 2015, the FDA concluded that partially hydrogenated oils – the same oils found in Benecol Spreads – are not “generally recognized as safe” for use in human food due to “an increased risk of coronary heart disease by contributing to the buildup of plaque inside the arteries that may cause a heart attack.” Thus, Benecol Spreads are not generally recognized as safe for human consumption.

  • Medtronics / Animas
    Completed acquisition by Medtronic plc of certain assets of Animas Corporation Decision on relevant merger situation and substantial lessening of competition Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. SUMMARY 1. On 19 December 2017 Medtronic plc (Medtronic) acquired certain assets (the Target Assets) from Animas Corporation (Animas), a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (J&J) (the Merger). Medtronic and the Target Assets are together referred to as the Parties. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) notes that the Merger does not involve an extensive transfer of assets. For example, it does not provide for the transfer of any physical assets (eg insulin pumps or consumables), fixed assets (eg manufacturing facilities), intellectual property, R&D assets and information, or employees. 3. The CMA notes, however, that the customer and patient records being transferred through the Merger appear to be of significant value and that the combination of these assets with the other transferred assets appears to support a degree of ‘economic continuity’ that may enable Medtronic to carry on the business previously supported by these assets. 4. The CMA therefore believes that the Target Assets may be an enterprise, and that as a result of the Merger, the enterprises of Medtronic and the Target Assets have ceased to be distinct. 5. The share of supply test is met. The four-month period for a decision, as extended, has not yet expired. The CMA therefore believes that it is or may be the case that a relevant merger situation has been created.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes both children and adults. Unrelated to diet or lifestyle, T1D causes lifelong dependence on injected or pumped insulin and carries the constant danger of life-threatening complications. It requires intensive, 24/7 management. There are no days off, and there is no cure. Parents founded JDRF in 1970 to help their children with T1D by funding research to find a cure for this poorly understood and often deadly disease. Driven by passionate, grassroots volunteers connected to children, adolescents, and adults with this disease, JDRF has grown to become the largest nongovernmental funder of T1D research. JDRF has awarded more than $1.7 billion to diabetes research since our founding. Our goal is simple: we want to create a world without T1D.
