Healthcare Packaging has released a comprehensive 150-page PDF e-book that is meant to be a hands-on guide designed to bring you and your team up to speed quickly on serialization. The Playbook bridges the theoretical to the practical, and points out best practices to follow and pitfalls to avoid.
Written for the entire serialization team, from packaging through IT and Supply Chain, the Playbook contains extensive amounts of hands-on, actionable advice from those who’ve been there.
Eight sections address the following areas:
• Summary of California e-pedigree law and how standards will help
• Secrets of staffing and project managing a serialization project
• Packaging line and plant strategies, with a thorough explanation of inference and aggregation
• Contract packaging/contract manufacturing strategic implications and implementation tips
• IT, software and architecture considerations, including EPCIS and master data discussions
• A complete hands-on pilot testing guide including lessons learned
• Downloadable resources such as sample label schemas and sample pilot test plan
• Vendor Selection Resource Guide containing profiles of vendors who can help
The Playbook also features the results of an exclusive Healthcare Packaging survey on the industry’s serialization readiness. Based on the responses of 104 pharmaceutical manufacturers and CMO/CPO’s, the survey helps readers benchmark their progress on serialization against their peers.
