10 steps to improve efficiencies in the pharmaceutical supply chain

Improving your competitiveness, building sales, cutting costs, tracking product, and upgrading manufacturing equipment and processes are key factors.

It is imperative that steps be taken in the near future to improve efficiencies and attempt to cut costs in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Here are 10 ways this could be done:

1. Cut out the middle man (wholesaler.) This will do three things:

• Speed up the distribution process as the company will be delivering directly to the customer.

• Cut costs by cutting out the middle man.

• Sell more product: with better prices the companies will be more competitive and outsell competitors.

2. Improvements in tracking product, which will cut down counterfeits and competitors copying product. This will help the pharmaceutical companies to stay ahead of the competition and be more efficient.

3. Improve technology in the manufacturing process. This will help:

• The products to be created quickly and efficiently.

• Better technology will help product cost to be reduced and sold at a more competitive price. This will ensure dominance over competitors.
