Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer
|
For pharmaceutical manufacturers transportation is considered the weakest link in the supply chain. This is because once the products leave the manufacturing plant they are put in the hands of a third party and producers lose control of their goods. If you take into account the high value of these products, above all considering the importance of affecting the health of people, producers of pharmaceuticals need to feel confident about the service transport companies can offer them.
Pharmaceuticals are high value products that frequently have transportation requirements like speed of delivery, special handling and/or temperature control to maintain their effectiveness. Vaccines, for example, are sensitive biological substances that with time lose their potency, and thus their ability to give protection against diseases. This could happen even more quickly if they are exposed to higher temperatures. In order to maintain their quality, they must be continuously stored at the appropriate temperature from the time they are manufactured up until the moment of use. Once they lose their potency, they can not give protection against the target disease and may become life threatening. If you can not provide the proof of quality, then you could possibly be held liable.
