Synopsis of Xyntek's Presentation:
Supply Chain Management as it relates to E-Pedigree Implementation
Speaker: William Fletcher, Project Director, Xyntek , Inc.
This presentation provides strategy for three different yet intertwined areas -- regulatory compliance, counterfeiting, and brand protection. While speculation continues over federal legislation to preempt the current State of California drug traceability law requiring electronic chain-of-custody (e-Pedigree) documents for each item shipped, many companies are refining their strategies and requirements to deploy unit serialization now. These same companies are prototyping the various likely federal requirements and e-Pedigree should federal legislation fail to preempt the California mandate. Likewise, Brand Protection and Security teams are now common within pharmaceutical, wholesaler and pharmacies companies due to the overwhelming benefits of protecting the resources and investments made into the delivery of a given product. Global counterfeiting is estimated to be a multibillion dollar problem and manufacturers have to protect against this major health concern and lost market.
Learn how to:
* Plan for, any type of serialization, pedigree or bar coding efforts for products within the supply chain
* Protect your brand/brands image through traceability
* Combat counterfeiting, diversion and fraud
* Ensure marketing/supply chain/regulatory silos within your organization work together to protect brand identity
* Coordinate, with the other pieces of the supply chain (manufacturers, wholesalers, pharmacies) on traceability efforts
