Objectives During this conference, representatives from authorities as well as specialists from the pharmaceutical industry and service providers share their expert knowledge about all relevant aspects regarding the current expectations and the actual development in Supply Chain and Cold Chain Management. You will learn how these requirements evolve and how you can improve your systems. Background: Globalisation, counterfeiting problems and the expectations regarding the pharmaceutical supply chain and cold chain management are forcing the pharmaceutical industry to challenge their current practices. Companies have to increase their effort and validation activities as one prerequisite for safe and secure transportation of their medical products over boarders and through various climatic conditions. Guides, Guidelines and initiatives from various agencies like FDA, WHO, USP and PDA lead the way in this development and define expectations and requirements. But besides regulatory compliance there is another important aspect: logistic efficiency! The world is getting smaller and faster and various goods have to be delivered worldwide in given timeframes. The co-operation in the global value chain is characterised by high complexity and the need for co-ordination and control. The pharmaceutical industry needs to face these developments and align their strategies and business processes in the supply chain.
