New Science, the growth engine for the biopharma industry, helped us get through the pandemic, but inevitably added complexity and cost. The industry’s ability to adapt, lead, and thrive has activated a mindset shift from operational efficiency in individual silos, to resiliency through collaboration across silos and innovation at speed. It must be a multi-disciplinary task between R&D, regulatory affairs, procurement, manufacturing, quality, logistics and supply chain planners, united to deliver and create a more agile, resilient and sustainable pharma supply chain.

Accenture has the experience to help create future-ready life sciences supply chains that deliver across three key priorities:

• Relevant – agile and customer-centric, addressing demand changes and scientific advances in a cost effective way
• Resilient – preparing for, mitigating and responding to disruptions of all scales and constantly adapting to the ever-increasing complexity of New Science
• Responsible – converting scientific advances to high quality medicines available globally by building sustainable value chains, positively impacting society and the planet while enhancing trust

Discover how we can help you sustain life sciences supply chain operations today and mobilize for tomorrow’s scientific advances and growth.

According to our research, 60% of life sciences supply chain executives (pharma/biopharma/medical device) struggle to get real-time inventory and visibility from external manufacturing partners. And yet, nearly all of them plan to expand their use of contract manufacturers in the next three years. This growth and increased complexity in life sciences supply chains requires an entirely different approach to collaboration to meet the demands of New Science and personalized treatments and devices.

In this report we bring to light the similarities and differences in the challenges both parties face and share real-world examples of where digital technology can help solve collaboration pain points. The report features companies who are getting it right and four key steps to establish a new level of supply chain collaboration.
