Accelerating digital initiatives in the supply chain is key to improving efficiency and agility.
The white paper, The Digital Cold Chain Reimagined, draws on supply-chain and cold-chain experts to illustrate how using a digital visibility platform enables you to control the chaos and get the critical information you need to identify and maintain the integrity of your pharmaceutical products.
“Going forward, supply-chain visibility will be crucial, and it should be the number one priority for chief supply-chain officers.”
—Dr. Hau Lee, Professor at Stanford University Graduate School of Business and Co-Director of the Value Chain Initiative
Optimizing your cold chain for successful product storage and packaging, seamless cold chain transit, accurate and shipping all while staying in regulatory compliance is attainable.
Turning visibility into actionable insight demands a fundamental shift from traditional functional, efficiency-focused supply chains to demand-driven value networks.
To make this shift, technology that provides point-in-time status of product flow from EDI and barcode scans must be augmented or replaced with continuous real-time internet of things (IoT) signals at the product level.
This shift drives 100% visibility from delivery to customers back through integrated business planning, into operations and back to the supplier network.
“Technologies that enable you to get real-time, granular data providing complete visibility into your supply chain, along with smart contingency planning, are now required to deal with managing day-to-day business.”
—Maria Nieradka, pharmaceutical supply-chain executive
Continuous visibility provides real-time data versus aged, static data, making analysis and actionable insights available in time to trigger systems to alert or notify of possible exceptions and remediate the situation.
Having a complete system to accurately monitor location, dwell times, condition and movement history will enable companies to increase FDA compliance, reduce spoilage and waste and delight customers. Learn more in the white paper, The Digital Cold Chain Reimagined.
