FUTURE PHARMA - DESIGN, MAKE AND AUTOMATE IN INDIA

Imagine if medications and medical supplies were delivered to pharmacies, labs, hospitals or direct to homes the same day they were ordered. What impact would that make on your business? What impact would that 'Make in India'?

The pharmaceutical industry, though booming in India in many regards, still has much room for improvement when it comes to domestic order fulfillment and distribution.

Getting patient's their medical supplies on time, to their local pharmacy or home, with no shortages or delays requires a lot of operational and logistical planning. With the many safety, government and industry regulations placed on pharmaceutical companies, warehouse operations are a crucial aspect of companies' ability to compete in the marketplace, while staying compliant with laws and regulations.

Legal compliance, inventory flow, labor, customer demand and market competitiveness are some of the details operations managers need to consider. What if it doesn't have to be a difficult balance - understanding and working with local requirements while meeting customer expectations of fast delivery with quality, ready to deliver products? A consistent and reliable process would have a trickle-down effect to local consumers, businesses and the country as a whole.
