Cold Chain Logistics Masterclass

Tueday, 30 November 2010

Conquering effective cold chain strategies to hedge out constraints and traps while increasing performance and developing procedures for your own temperature-sensitive supply chains

Pharmaceutical supply chain heads have a variety of global requirements to meet during storage, transport and handling of temperature-sensitive products. Changing product portfolios, requirements for good storage and distribution practices, regulatory trends, quality management and risk assessment factors bring many challenges to the pharmaceutical cold chain management.

Objective:

This masterclass is designed to enhance cold chain knowledge of all the variables in cold chain logistics throughout the entire supply chain from an operational level. The course is a hands-on programme featuring case studies and workshops to enable attendees to develop procedures for their own temperature-sensitive supply chains. It will challenge your current methods and practices and delivers the real facts.

Benefits:

Cold Chain Logistics is a unique course that will enable all delegates to have the opportunity to discuss their specific concerns directly with the masterclass leader and amongst the group. This is a unique opportunity to understand the entire process of temperaturesensitive supply chains.
