While healthcare distributors & pharmaceutical manufacturers have squeezed out all the costs they could by leveraging inventory, transportation and warehousing systems, the recent recession exposed the limitations of these benefits for what they wereó subcomponents optimized within the narrow confines of ìsiloedî thinking, where each department operates autonomously. They have come to realize that growing channel conflicts and challenging macroeconomic trends, along with demanding customer service levels, will continue to erode their margins. The only path to a margin-rich future requires a basic change in thinking and a cultural sea change. If you are willing to take that road, here are the four facets of change that we would like to share with you: - Changing Mindsets ñ think platform for better supply chain efficiency
- One version of the truth ñ global supply chain visibility for better compliance and traceability
- Shared Decision-making Engines in optimized and collaborative supply chain
- Supply chain Finance ñ how Total cost to serve can now be part of your supply chain execution processes
This presentation will be illustrated by customer case studies. Live customer testimonial to be confirmed.
