Life Sciences
Supply Chain Planning for the Life Sciences industry involves the consideration
of numerous challenges, including:
- Managing fewer new drugs in the supply chain and greater generic competition
- Greater price and regulatory pressures
- Shorter time to capture higher profits
- Capturing emerging markets for growth
- Growing existing markets
- Incorporating the supply chain as a competitive weapon
- Synchronizing sales and marketing with the supply chain
Many Supply Chain Guru® features have been designed to specifically support
the challenges facing the Life Sciences industry. For instance, through
Network Optimization, organizations can quantify the supply chain cost synergies
of a projected merger, before the merger occurs.
Multi-Period Optimization coupled with
Enterprise Simulation can be used to model new or existing market expansion
opportunities. Companies can evaluate the revenue, cost, and profitability for serving
new markets or expanding existing markets.
Enterprise Simulation can
also be used to understand pricing and lifecycle costs associated with a short patent
time frame. Various demand profiles can be applied to understand profitability and
overall costs if the product is a blockbuster or poor performer.
Inventory Optimization can help an analyst evaluate inventory placement
for a new product or packaging type. Postponement strategies can also be applied
to take advantage of pooling common raw materials prior to finished goods conversion. |
