Abstract: Abstract Competitive advantage in the pharmaceutical industry is driven by first class research and development and by optimised supply chain operations. Harmonised SCM processes, systems and organisations will lead to reduced inventories, increased capacity utilisation, reduced order lead time, less obsolescences and lower IT system maintenance costs. Critical decisions can be made faster resulting in an improved customer service level. Based on common, standardised data, error rates are reduced and most importantly, full FDA CFR 21 part 11 and GMP compliance can be guaranteed and sustained.
