Today, companies in the pharmaceutical industry face many obstacles. Some of these issues include regulation, expiration of patents, and competition from producers of generic products. However, executives and shareholders still expect profits.

At first glance, the challenges seem Herculean. But opportunities exist and companies can separate themselves from their competition by providing very high levels of customer service yet managing and reducing costs.

At a minimum, a company must have systems, processes, and talent in place to succeed. But to compete, firms must do it better and for less. This means defining and implementing ‘best practices’ in sourcing and supply chain management.

Every year hundreds of companies save billions of dollars through advanced strategic sourcing processes and supply chain management initiatives. Just like Ford Motor Company, or Apple, Inc., your business can implement the same programs too.

By using the same kind of analytics and sourcing programs, you can gain ‘hard dollar’ savings. The sooner you being putting these programs in place, the sooner you will start realizing the same savings.
