- QPs, RPs, Managers and Executives from pharmaceutical Quality and Supply Chain Units
- Senior Management, Business Executives and those involved in improving and controlling the pharmaceutical supply chain
Discuss the latest expectations and best practices for effective and efficient Supply Chain Oversight processes and how to get there.
Background
There is a steady increase in dependence on global supply chains. Pharmaceutical companies not only source starting materials from all over the world, but also outsource manufacturing activities. The finished products are then distributed globally. These complex supply chains with different transport routes and manufacturing locations lead to major challenges in terms of maintaining the quality of materials, intermediates and medicinal products.
This has increased the risk of potential compliance and delivery problems, having a negative impact on a company's business and on the patient. Managing these supply chains and complying with GMP and GDP regulations require a comprehensive supply chain oversight with appropriate risk management measures.
