Pharmaceutical supply chain optimization methods
With the rise of retail terminal power, e-commerce strong development, pharmaceutical commercial enterprises will extend their services to the supply chain downstream of the retailers and health care institutions is an inevitable choice, which is not only able to effectively avoid the risk of a single business, through the optimization of supply chain processes, but also access to a larger profit margin. So, here is what I have organized for you pharmaceutical supply chain optimization methods, welcome to read and browse.
Provide value-added services for the downstream
With the rise of the retail terminal power, e-commerce strong development, the pharmaceutical business enterprise will be extended to the supply chain downstream of the retailers and health care institutions is an inevitable choice, which is not only able to effectively avoid the risk of a single business, through the optimization of supply chain processes, but also to obtain a larger profit space. The first step is to make sure that you have the best possible chance of getting the best out of your business.
First, provide procurement and warehousing services for retailers, and ensure the quality of purchased drugs. For example, supplier management for pharmacies to avoid large orders or advance promotional hoarding, so that the terminal retailer to focus on drug sales; for hospitals to provide drugs, supplies and materials required for the supply chain management program, leading to hospitals in the drugs, supplies and materials required for the procurement, distribution, circulation, departmental use and other aspects of the overall efficiency, to reduce the cost of costs, fees and labor inputs.
Second, provide marketing training services for retail terminals. In a sense, the pharmaceutical business enterprises are also sales enterprises, but also for retail enterprises to provide a series of services to help their marketing capabilities, including private brand creation, cost reduction, sales assistance, site selection, merchandise display. Through these services, to cultivate the loyalty of the retail terminal, consolidate the partnership between the two sides.
Again, provide IT software service programs for downstream enterprises. Through the e-commerce platform, ready to provide quotes, ordering, inventory, business consulting and other services, and the platform information to be integrated, the valuable information throughout the supply chain of upstream and downstream enterprises, so as to improve the quality of service, to grasp the dominant position in the market.
Pharmaceutical e-commerce integration of pharmaceutical logistics resources will be the future development direction of the pharmaceutical industry. E-commerce is rapidly promoting the industry's innovation revolution, a drug network, Ali Health Network and other major pharmaceutical e-commerce, the establishment of network diagnostic platform, the establishment of the doctor's fan group, the patient online drug purchases, etc., all so that the traditional health care model to produce a drastic change. Cross-strait medical institutions and pharmaceutical material distributors, Taiwan, such as National Taiwan University Hospital, Taiwan? Taiwan's National Taiwan University Hospital, Taiwan's CDC, and Changhua Christian Hospital.
Developing a risk control mechanism
While enterprises pursue supply chain efficiency, it is easy to ignore supply chain risks. Supply chain risk often comes from a variety of uncertainties in the production and operation of the enterprise, resulting in a decline in supply chain efficiency and increased costs. Avoiding this risk requires choosing strategic partners with adequate risk prediction and prevention measures.
First, when optimizing supply chain enterprises, especially when selecting pharmaceutical suppliers, to improve the quality of customer service, increase the market share of the product, to meet the downstream customers to deal with the problem of drug returns, it is necessary to take into account the value-added services provided by drug manufacturers.
Secondly, the establishment of efficient information transfer channels in the pharmaceutical supply chain, optimize the decision-making process, so that the supply chain of information flow, logistics, business flow, capital flow is relatively transparent, and the downstream reverse logistics is easier to track in order to reduce the inventory backlog situation.
Again, the supply chain enterprises in the process of cooperation, through the contract design to provide each other with flexibility, can be partially eliminated the impact of uncertainty in the external environment. For example, Jiuzhou Tong supply chain distribution channel payback policy, allowing customers in a tight financial . Under the circumstances, barter transactions.
Finally, reorganize the supply chain process. For example, the downstream market of the Jiuzhou Tong pharmaceutical supply chain? Zero inventory?
The downstream market of JZT's pharmaceutical supply chain, the pharmacy hosting model, ensures the safe and efficient operation of the supply chain through the reorganization of the supply chain process and the elimination of non-value-added links.
Logistics management to optimize resource allocation
From the location of a single-point warehouse and the allocation of space in the warehouse, to the design of the warehouse network and the distribution of inventory; from the allocation of means of transport to the management of the carrier, to the organization of multimodal transport, to the arrangement of freight routes; from the application of logistics technology and equipment, to the standardization of technologies and processes, to the Networking and intelligence of logistics IT system; from the arrangement of specific logistics operation links to the design of overall logistics management solutions, etc., all of which contain the concept of "cost + benefit". Cost + Benefit? The technical and economic analysis centered on the optimization process of resource allocation for logistics management.
To achieve the lowest total cost of customer logistics, must be a variety of logistics operations for the overall arrangement. Different customer service needs will put forward different resource integration requirements. Obviously, the wider the scope of logistics management, covering more links, the implementation of unified management and coordination of the possibility of the greater the total cost of logistics to reduce the operation of the space is greater, while the logistics business puts forward higher requirements.
New model of hospital drug supply chain
Under the environment of healthcare reform, the drug supply chain in the development of maturity, but also have to do some thinking. Domestic hospital drug supply chain emerged some innovative models, such as Nanjing pharmacy hosting model, Shanghai 5 +1 + 3 model, Tianjin ophthalmology SPD model, etc., in the integration of the international advanced model at the same time, highlighting the characteristics of China, to promote the pharmaceutical circulation industry to play its due value.
In fact, the above supply chain is just the beginning. According to each hospital's level, characteristics, level of information technology and hospital management concepts, to find a moderate, suitable program. In the end, which supply chain model is more successful? It is believed that there is no best program, only the most suitable program, the process is gradual. This also requires all circulation enterprises *** with the creation of upstream and downstream enterprises to see the value of the industry.
In short, with the globalization of the economy, the extension of the industrial chain, information technology is becoming more mature, especially the popularity of the concept of strategic alliances and supply chain management competition, there will be more and more logistics companies will be the future development of their strategic objectives are located in the supply chain management services. The core model of supply chain management is the establishment and management of strategic partnerships between pharmaceutical manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users, which requires the establishment of a pharmaceutical supply chain information **** enjoyment system, realizing the timely transmission of information, monitoring pharmaceutical logistics, reducing inventory, thus reducing the cost of the entire supply chain, and bringing the end of the price reduction of pharmaceutical commodities space.
Point of view:
China Pharmaceutical Material Association Commercial Branch is working with Shenzhen Xinquan Health Network Company, is building for the pharmaceutical supply chain of industry, commerce, medical institutions (pharmacies) and other enterprises to provide? Internet + three-way logistics + financial? Service platform. On this platform, as long as the enterprises in the network on the platform generated sales or purchase orders, you can enjoy up to 60 days of interest-free free loans (order factoring). This means that the upstream enterprises can quickly back to the payment of goods, downstream enterprises can enjoy interest-free funds in order to pay for goods; at the same time, as an important node of the commercial companies can be realized for the upstream and downstream customers to provide drug storage, dispensing services. It is reported that this project is intended to select the cooperation of pharmaceutical three-way logistics enterprises nationwide.
