Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer
|
While serialisation in the pharmaceutical supply chain is generally regarded as inevitable – counterfeiting is simply too large of a problem to not be addressed – some uncertainty around the specifics exists, particularly from a global position. Regulations are advancing at various speeds around the world, and, to date, global standards as to how serial numbers should be formatted have not emerged.
Progressing Through Uncertainty
This has demanded that manufacturers move forward cautiously in their approach to serialisation. They must take steps to prepare without committing themselves to technologies that may not support future requirements. To that end, many have placed systems necessary to apply and capture serialisation data in their packaging processes, but have, in general, not addressed the impact of tracking these numbers across the supply chain.
This is partly due to the nature of a typical pharma supply chain, which is more dependent on third-party logistics providers for downstream processes than other industries. These providers enable companies to minimise supply chain assets and focus their capital on R&D, but they tend to limit their investments in automation because short-term contracts do not allow a return on investment within the contract period.
