Supply Chain Wizard—a global consulting firm specializing in serialization and traceability, supply chain strategy and operational transformation programs—and Medicines for Europe, an organization serving as the voice of Europe’s generic, biosimilar and value-added medicines industries, will co-host a Pharma CMO Summit June 13, 2018 at the Hilton Budapest Hotel in Hungary.
With less than a year remaining until the deadlines of the EU’s Falsified Medicines Directive and the U.S. DSCSA regulation, the gathering offers an opportunity for pharmaceutical industry partners to make or finalize strategies for both initial compliance and optimized post-implementation operations.
The Pharma CMO Summit will bring together manufacturers, CMOs, CPOs, 3PLs, wholesalers and solution providers for education and interactive activities centered on serialization compliance, serialized operations, and value beyond compliance.
The Budapest event is the latest in a series of such summits initiated by Supply Chain Wizard, and the last European event prior to FMD enactment. A main objective of the Budapest summit is providing flexible strategies and solutions for achieving practical paths to compliance. Efficient, cost-effective incorporation products will be modeled, and case study presentations will help educate trading partners on likely implementation challenges. Interactive activities will showcase the value beyond compliance that production digitization brings to manufacturing operations.
