Building a Resilient Pharmaceutical Supply Chain in 2024: A Critical Priority The global pharmaceutical supply chain has faced immense challenges in recent years—disruptions caused by the pandemic, fluctuating raw material costs, and regulatory changes. In 2024, resilience is more critical than ever. 🌍💊 Here’s what companies should focus on to strengthen their supply chains: 1. Diversification of Suppliers: A single-source supply model can be risky. Expanding to multiple suppliers across geographies reduces vulnerabilities and ensures consistent access to materials. 2. Embracing Digital Transformation: Technologies like AI and blockchain can increase transparency and streamline operations. Real-time monitoring of supply chain activities helps identify potential disruptions before they become crises. 3. Sustainability Practices: More than just a buzzword, integrating sustainable practices—such as reducing carbon footprints and waste—into the supply chain is increasingly becoming a compliance requirement in many regions. 🌱 4. Regulatory Agility: As regulations evolve across different markets, pharmaceutical companies must stay agile. This involves building systems to adapt swiftly to new compliance requirements without slowing down production. The key to a resilient pharmaceutical supply chain is adaptability and proactive planning. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries to ensure that critical medications reach patients safely and on time. 🏥 #Pharmaceuticals #SupplyChain #Innovation #Sustainability #Healthcare

Pharmaceutical Commerce Magazine : 'Why Blockchain is Key to Enhancing Supply Chain Integrity' In a second part of the video interview with Pharma Commerce, Jonathan Colehower, managing director, global operations & supply chain practice at UST, and Editor Nicholas Saraceno, he discussed how the East and Gulf Coast port strikes highlighted the contrasting dynamics between branded and generic pharmaceuticals. Branded drugs, which offer higher profit margins, are produced at limited manufacturing sites, creating potential vulnerabilities. In contrast, generics have multiple supply sources but operate with tighter margins, leading to less robust business controls and raising concerns about safety. This disparity underscores the complex challenges faced by both sectors in the pharmaceutical industry. Colehower also spoke on the valuable in pharma supply chain transparency and visibility.
