Broken Supply Chain adversely affects Pharma Business development

While progressive organisations consider strengthening supply chain as an opportunity, stagnating organisations consider it as an impediment.

In stagnating organisations supply chain usually operates as a kingdom by itself within the organisation.

Such organisations fail to realise the potential of improving supply chain efficiency and its impact on organisation’s top-line and bottom-line as well as its impact on improving productivity of other functions

While there are number of areas within SCM which can be strengthened, the two important ones having significant impact on organisation’s top-line and bottom-line are:

1. Reduction of cycle time between receipt of orders and dispatch of goods by implementing an efficient sales forecasting module

2. Reduction in cost of RM & PM by implementing a robust system to stop dependence on single vendor and aggressively reduce input prices
