Balancing Quality, Risk and Cost to Achieve Compliance and Maintain Product Integrity
As the global healthcare industry grows,
temperature controlled logistics rapidly evolves with it. Given the evolving regulatory requirements across the globe, companies throughout the temperature-sensitive supply chain face the huge challenge of staying updated and constantly adapting their supply chain processes to ensure maximum compliance and quality at minimum cost.
However, the discrepancies in regulatory requirements and
GDP guidelines in key international markets complicate the multi-faceted supply chain. Delays during product handovers, shock and vibration in transit, extreme weather variations and equipment failures all introduce significant risks for potential temperature excursions and product loss. Add to that the increasing diversity of pharmaceutical products, and the task of monitoring today's cold chain becomes nothing short of daunting. Responding to these pressing issues, the 14th
Cold Chain - GDP & Temperature Management Logistics Global Forum has significantly expanded the topic focuses, session formats, speaking faculty and vendor options to meet your emerging and ongoing challenges for 2016 and beyond.
Top Reasons to Attend
- Benchmark and develop much-needed industry standards to mitigate the complexity of region and country-specific requirement
- Tackle specific logistical challenges by shipment size, product type and temperature range
- Standardize your data monitoring, collection and analysis to identify hotspots more quickly
- Explore innovative cost-reduction strategies without jeopardizing product quality
- Identify, analyze and manage the risks that threaten your product integrity
Very good conference. Lots of opportunities to network with others and with suppliers to the cold chain industry.
