Pfizer‘s Effort to Risk Management• Cargo Theft• Counterfeit Drug• Economically motivated
adulteration• Illegal diversion
Supply Chain !• Delivering information and monitoring logistics performance
in that warren of activity is no easy task- the Logistics Delivery Platform.
• Partnered with GT Nexus and Unyson Logistics!• An Information Platform (anchored by GT Nexus) and a
Network Analytics Platform (anchored by Unyson Logistics).• Device independence Mode - which is a very specific strategy of
injecting a virtualized information and process layer between Pfizer and its control towers, service providers and trading partners across the value chain.
• They use the same platform to manage the network via activities such as performance monitoring, network analysis and management of contract rates.
• "We've insourced the 'think' and outsourced the work to our providers,"
Supply Chain Security Team
StrengthsState-of-the-art infrastructure Variety of formats supporting each other Better understanding of Indian suppliersHuge financial support Systematic collection of data from supplier to retailer
Weaknesses
New technologies like EPC/RFID & 2D Barcodes are introduced
Opportunities• Growing pharmaceutical sector in India• Growing patient awareness• Implementation of better and organized
government rule for inventory control and management of narcotic drugs etc
• Inclination towards branded drugs and company • Better transportation and third party support
Threats Key challenges related to drug supply chain are
management of drug expiration, drug returns / recalls, counterfeit drugs and others. The drug recall process is complex and expensive, where all to be recall products need to be tracked and then shipped back
Evolution of new companies at a very fast rate which is capturing the market share also increasing the chances of counterfeit drugs etc
Illegal smuggling…. Government policies
Governments efforts
• Strengthening Supply Chain Management It has been proposed to establish a structured supply chain
management system with a Logistic Manager at both State and District level ensuring the distribution system to flow in top to bottom approach
• Strengthening Procurement System In order to ensure hassle free procurement, the State
proposes to create a Procurement Society To make the process even faster, it suggests decentralizing small purchases at the District Level and positioning a procurement specialist at the zonal level.
Expectations from suppliers• Operate in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules
and regulations.• Conduct their business in an ethical manner, acting with
integrity.• Commit to upholding the human rights of workers and to
treat them with dignity and respect.• Provide a safe and healthy work environment, including
any company-provided living quarters.• Operate in an environmentally responsible and efficient
manner to minimize adverse impacts on the environment.• Facilitate continuous improvement and compliance with
the expectations of these principles by using management systems.
