Pharmaceutical & Medical Devices
Leading pharmaceutical and medical device companies are seeing the supply chain as an opportunity to improve service levels, e.g. same-day-shipment. More than any other industry, service is of the upmost importance. Any change must pass the strict regulatory requirements of a growing list of institutions. These aspects have direct and indirect effect on the supply chain - in distribution, transport, and warehousing.
Trends & Challenges
- Regulatory guidelines, such as the GMP for operations and logistics and the revised GDP guidelines for distribution must be applied consistently.
- Serialization and track & trace are being used more often to prevent drug counterfeiting and uncontrolled sales and the grey market.
- Supply chain security, the internal and external safeguarding of transport and handling, is growing in importance.
- Sales & operations planning is becoming more significant, particularly for personalized medications.
- Continuous cold chains must be ensured for APIs, bulk, and finished goods throughout the entire manufacturing process and distribution.
