Advanced Notice: Hear about trends in cool chain and supply chain management

The latest developments on Temperature Controlled Transportation

Das effektive Management der Pharma Kühlkette ist immer noch eines der herausfordernsten Themen innerhalb der Pharma Supply Chain. Im Moment steht vor allem der mittlere Temperaturbereich zwischen 15 und 25 Grad im Focus (Ambient). Zunehmend werden auch Initiativen unter dem Schlagwort „Green“ zu einem Thema.

Temperature controlled transportation or cool chain is still one of the most challenging issues within the pharmaceutical supply chain. With regulatory requirements constantly changing, the need for up-to-date cold chain logistic solutions is obvious. Furthermore industry standards are converging. The difficulty lies in the balance of both quality and cost.

One of the key challenges in cool chain management contains the selection and validation of reliable transport partners. After finding an adequate partner, effective processes of communication and monitoring need to be established, so that temperature control and security can be assured.

Interfaces between different partners and means of transportation are still problematic. Furthermore the last mile transportation can be difficult, especially in emerging economies.

A challenge that is getting more and more into focus is the ambient transportation from 15°C to 25°C. Furthermore Green initiatives for the Cold Chain are becoming a major issue.
