Manufacturing Planning
 Challenges
• One of the biggest challenges in the
pharmaceutical industry now is to shift
from a sales and marketing-based model to
an access driven commercial model
• Pharmaceutical distributors must ensure
efficiency and effectiveness in this market
characterized by demand volatility of
products, competition and a high risk in the
supply side
1: Demand forecasting
2: Quality Factor
3: Price fluctuation assessment
4: Risk management
• To put supply and demand in
synchronization, we must implement the
S&OP process. The objective is to integrate
the demand plan, the supply plan, and
sales plan into one consensus plan.
Sales & Operation Planning

• The first step is to collaborate with pharmacists to exchange information about demand
and inventories.
• The second step is to provide laboratories with the demand and the purchasing plan,
and make sure all the stakeholders in the pharmaceutical chain have aligned goals.
• Establish a culture of collaboration between all the functions, with a continuous
improvement
• Appoint the right person to lead the process, who has the ability to involve and
motivate others
• Implement methodologies and demand forecasting software and focus on improving
forecast accuracy at family and product level
• Set a consistent list of KPIs to help analyse previous periods and upcoming planning
objectives
Factors Affecting Production Planning and
Control
 Capacity Planning

• When capacity utilization is high the fixed cost are spread over more units and the
cost per unit is low.
• When capacity utilization is low the fixed cost are spread over fewer units and the
cost per unit rises

STORAGE MARKET
 Transporting pharmaceutical cargo by air:
- drug shortages in emergencies,
- reduce inventory level quickly
- improve the quality of services

Combi-Air is a combination of air and road vehicles used for competitive shipment times.

Delivering medical shipping containers by sea

Import and export of medical goods by road - FCL and LCL
- FCL for flexible departure schedules
Combined-mode transport solutions for expedited medical cargo
- LCL for weekly deliveries
- multimodal transport solutions
- use a wide selection of vehicles
- Refrigerated Maritime for temperature-
sensitive pharmaceuticals.
- optimises the time, cost, quality and environment factors
of clients Roll-on-roll-off (RoRo) ships and vessels with
specific dimensions are used for customised
