Today’s life sciences firms face significant challenges in their need to operate as global entities. Operating in a highly regulated environment with large number of supply nodes and suppliers, and high levels of organic and inorganic growth has added a significant measure of complexity to the supply chain. In addition, the urgent need to contain counterfeit drugs entering their supply chain has created a tough situation for these players since they have the responsibility to ensure that genuine products reach the end users.

Tactical cost reduction and productivity exercises just carry over the structural and process problems to next year without providing a long term solution. Life-Sciences companies have increasingly started embracing supply chain optimization and building a solid organizational foundation that promotes a culture of cost containment, efficiency and security.
