With a large number of blockbuster drugs’ patents expiring in recent years, pharma companies are seeing a significant increase in complexity and risk in their supply chains. Supply chains are shifting from traditional small, molecule, and solid dose products to more bio-engineered, complex, and technical products. These are niche products with a shorter shelf life that require a more sophisticated cold-chain and temperature controlled supply chain with a very specialized customer and patient in mind. This paper addresses how to overcome some of these challenges based on two VIP Think Tank discussions based 6 months apart in New Jersey as part of the LogiPharma USA conference.

-->Download LogiPharma 2013 Benchmark Report The team behind Worldwide Business Research’s LogiPharma conference, with help from an advisory board of senior-level executives from international pharmaceutical companies, created a benchmarking questionnaire for LogiPharma’s 2012 audience of end-to-end supply chain executives. The survey was distributed at the Philadelphia conference, answered questions about supply chain integrity, increasing FDA regulations, sourcing with global partners, and more. The goal of the survey was to understand where bio-pharmaceutical executives stand on some of the biopharma logistics industry’s biggest issues and establish up-to-date supply chain benchmarks. The roles of those answering this questionnaire ranged from Director of Global Asset and Operations, to Executive Officer, to SVP of Global Supply Chain. Respondents represented companies like Novartis, Johnson & Johnson, Shire, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck and more. Click The Icon To The Left To Download The Benchmarking Report Now!
