Biopharmaceutical Supply Chains: Distribution, Regulatory, Systems and Structural Changes Ahead

Autor Robert Handfield
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 iun 2012
A comprehensive exploration of the massive changes in the biopharmaceutical supply chain that have occurred during the past 10 years, and predicted future trends, Biopharmaceutical Supply Chains: Distribution, Regulatory, Systems and Structural Changes Ahead documents the specific impacts of these changes for key players in the supply chain.
Based on interviews with industry professionals, the book presents an overview of the key challenges and discusses how leading biopharmaceutical companies handle these challenges. It exposes the underlying structures that support the biopharmaceutical supply chain, focusing specifically on distribution—the point at which manufacturers release a finished product to the time that it is administered, and the complicated set of channels that exist between these two points. This overarching view of the supply chain provides an important piece of intelligence that can inform business strategy for life sciences manufacturers and distributors and help them achieve success in this industry.

Recenzii

"Handfield provides insights into the need for patient-centric value chain collaboration, and is a must-read for manufacturers, wholesalers, and payor/providers in the biopharmaceutical industry"
—Robert Lechich, Director of Operational Excellence, Pfizer Corporation

"Handfield challenges our current and arguably provincial notions of supply chain commonly held in the biopharmaceutical industry and forces us to really see it for what it isa process that ultimately connects the initial product manufacturing process directly to the patient and all points in between. His systemic approach dismantles various paradigm silos to reveal a complex series of interconnected activities and players, demonstrating a dynamic whole and clearer view to making the current healthcare debate more meaningful."
—Bill Welsh, PhD, Associate Director, Strategic Programs, Golden LEAF Biomanufacturing Training & Education Center, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA
