Driving Business Value Through Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Optimisation

Pharmaceutical logistics management is changing, with the supply chain’s role currently undergoing a transformation from an operational role to a fully-fledged strategic business lever, driving value and ensuring that all-important competitive advantage. It is therefore more important than ever for pharma supply chain executives to optimise the supply network to position the business for success.

LogiPharma Europe is the foremost annual gathering of senior-level pharmaceutical supply chain executives in Geneva, where over 120 Global Heads and VPs of supply chain, logistics and procurement gather to determine how to drive supply chain performance in order to deliver tangible business value.
Recognising the holistic, end-to-end nature of pharmaceutical supply chain management, LogiPharma Europe 2011 is the only pharma upply chain conference where strategic-level pharmaceutical logistics professionals meet to network, benchmark and assess the latest industry approaches to optimising supply chain performance. The community will join the 2011 meeting to discuss:

• Optimising distribution models: adopting “Direct Distribution” models to ensure visibility and reduce the cost base
• Successfully operating across emerging markets: taking advantage of the opportunities whilst reducing the risk factor
• Enhancing the Sales & Operational Planning (S&OP) process to improve forecasting and optimise inventory levels
• The temperature-controlled supply chain: ensuring product quality in a cost-effective way across the pharmaceutical logistics network
• Collaborating effectively with suppliers: determining sourcing strategies to mitigate supplier risk
• Developing supply chain leaders of the future: cultivating your supply chain workforce to fulfil the new characteristics of the supply chain leader and drive the business forward
• Ensuring supply chain agility: installing a culture of continuity to respond to unforeseen scenarios
• Securing the pharmaceutical supply chain: developing processes to ensure product security and, ultimately, patient safety

Driving the debate will be a world-renowned speaker faculty, comprising global leaders from the likes of Pfizer, Novartis and AstraZeneca, ensuring you hear the latest best practice from the leading innovators across the pharmaceutical industry.
