Integrate your outsourced manufacturing operations to create a more agile and resilient supply chain

Life sciences companies are increasingly outsourcing manufacturing to manage CAPEX, access specialized production capabilities, and reduce costs. The lack of real-time intelligence across external manufacturing operations has created a new set of challenges for manufacturing and supply chain leaders, including:

Ensuring materials supply

Maintaining the inventory levels necessary to produce finished goods without disrupting production or carrying excess inventory.

Supply planning

Accessing supplier inventory balances, purchase order confirmation dates, product status, and delivery schedules to enable accurate supply planning.

Ensuring production visibility

Visibility into projected production completions and delivery dates is needed to ensure supply meets demand.

Maintaining quality

Ensure efficient quality reviews and batch approvals to speed release of inventory and meet demand.
