The pharmaceutical industry operates under constant pressure
Difficult-to-forecast demand, strict quality controls, and high expiration date or shelf life risks make advanced planning essential. Integrating forecasting, purchasing and production in real time ensures continuity, efficiency and regulatory compliance.
The main challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Limited shelf life of critical materials
Batches of APIs and excipients with limited shelf life, making planning and regulatory compliance difficult.
-
Excess manufacturing or purchasing
Excessive manufacturing or purchasing generates regulated losses, increasing costs and risk of non-compliance.
-
Global planning without expiration control
Global planning that does not distinguish expiration causes false coverage and breakages, affecting production continuity.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Lot and location management
Stock controlled by lot and status to guarantee traceability and compliance with GMP requirements.
-
Elimination of waste on time
Regulatory compliance and capital release through early detection of materials close to expiration.
-
Inventory optimization
Avoid planning with expired batches, ensuring real availability and operational efficiency.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Long lead times for critical raw materials
Long lead times for APIs and critical excipients make planning difficult and increase the risk of production stops.
-
Fluctuating demand and high MOQs
Fluctuating real demand and high MOQs generate excess stock or shortages due to lack of flexibility in purchases.
-
Dependence on main supplier
Delays from the main supplier halt GMP production, putting operational continuity and regulatory compliance at risk.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Supplier alternation
Automatically switches to the second supplier if the main supplier fails, ensuring continuity of supply.
-
Adjustable maximum coverage
Control stock and minimize the risk of emergencies through dynamic coverage policies adapted to the criticality of the material.
-
Management of MOQs and orders
Avoid duplicating dangerous inventory by optimizing orders according to minimum purchase and actual consumption.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Expensive changes to production lines
Medicine production and packaging lines share costly changeovers and cleaning times, reducing efficiency and operational capacity.
-
Planning at infinite capacity generates conflicts
Planning at infinite capacity generates overlapping orders and bottlenecks, affecting compliance with deadlines.
-
Lack of daily visibility of production
Lack of daily visibility increases the risk of non-compliance with critical orders and makes order prioritization difficult.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Realistic Gantt
Respect changeover times and minimum manufacturing frequency to generate more precise and achievable planning.
-
Daily saturation display
Allows you to negotiate overtime or subcontracting by identifying resource overload and possible delays.
-
Minimization of non-compliance risks
Optimizes sterilization and delivery windows, guaranteeing regulatory compliance and punctuality of orders.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Constantly evolving portfolio
Portfolio that frequently changes to new formulations and sizes, which makes stability in planning and inventory control difficult.
-
SKUs with reduced life cycle
Many SKUs have a short useful life and are replaced quickly, generating mismatches between demand and production.
-
Unreliable Forecast and Operational Misalignments
Unreliable forecast causes late orders, stockouts or excess stock that expires, affecting service and profitability.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Forecast from day one
Generate credible forecast for new medications, anticipating needs from their launch.
-
Long-term projection
Plan production capacity, purchasing and regulatory records to ensure compliance and availability.
-
Commercial-production alignment
Avoid non-compliance and reduce costs due to stock destruction through coordination between sales and operations.
-
-
Impact of promotions and launches
Temporary spikes distort the base forecast.
Integrate promotion and launch data into the forecast to anticipate demand peaks and avoid breakages or overproduction.
Distributed network and internal transfers
Stock in wrong location generates urgent transportation.
Centralize inventory visibility and optimize internal transfers to balance stock between locations and reduce logistics costs.
Market opportunity
Key indicators that offer a clear vision of the strategic weight that this industry has in the current and future global economy.
