Trevor Miles, director, industry and applications marketing, Kinaxis
The healthcare supply chain is faced with some unique challenges, especially for bio-pharmaceutical manufacturers. Given that many drugs are critical to patient health, much of the lean inventory practices employed in other industries (particularly popular for high-tech/electronics) are not acceptable options because of inventory shortage risks. As well, the typical pharmaceutical supply chain faces many regulatory bodies that are required to approve any changes in manufacturing or packaging, which limits the flexibility of the supply chain and adds to the challenges of inventory management and production capacity.Demand Management: A Game Changing Competitive Advantage
