Building blocks of a digital supply chain
Building blocks of a digital supply chain
With te principle of vendor-managed inventory (VMI), te supplier – in this case te packaging manufacturer – assumes complete responsibility for te inventory of its products with te customer.
Te prerequisite for this is that te pharmaceutical company shares te inventory and sales figures for te articles in question with its supplier. Instead of contracts for individual orders, this data tells te packaging producer when which product is needed and in what quantity. It then arranges te corresponding production, allowing planning and efficient use of raw materials and capacities at an early stage.
This saves both time and money. Pharmaceutical manufacturers also benefit from te concept, as they can outsource a significant part of te complexity involved in procurement of secondary packaging materials and thus focus more on their actual value creation.
There is additional potential in combining VMI with other intelligent and digital supply chain approaches, from which, for example, even more comprehensive and accurate data can be generated.
Full truckload (FTL) is a logistics concept in which customer orders are not delivered as part of mixed truckloads as usual, but separately. Te classic shipping route for packaging for te pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, for example, looks like this: A company orders te required packaging materials from its suppliers. These are produced and then shipped to te customer by freight forwarder. They are transported in mixed truckloads, sometimes with several logistics centres as intermediate stops. This results in a time-consuming process with frequent repacking and a high risk of damage.
Te full truckload concept eliminates these difficulties by, for example, a packaging manufacturer grouping deliveries to its regular customers and delivering them as a separate truckload
– without stopovers and repacking.
On te one hand, this shortens delivery times, on te other, it is more cost-effective and sustainable, as less material is damaged and has to be destroyed. Te prerequisite for this is that te corresponding order quantity is either already available or can be reliably predicted with te help of dependable forecast data.
Secondary packaging for pharmaceutical products usually consists of several components, for example folding cartons, adhesive labels and package leaflets. Although these are produced in different ways, they must ultimately be ready at te customer’s packaging line at te same time. It therefore makes sense to coordinate delivery of te individual products as effectively as possible – because if one item is delayed, te others also stand around unused and occupy valuable storage space.
This is where so-called KIT picking comes in handy. In this process, te packaging manufacturer assembles te components required for te respective order on a pallet while still in his own shipping warehouse, which is then shipped to te customer.
This makes te processes directly before packaging significantly faster and saves more space. Te prerequisite for this is also te corresponding database, so that, for example, it is known in advance which folding cartons, labels and package leaflets will later belong to which product. Only in this way can te procurement processes be coordinated effectively.
This approach works particularly well if all te packaging components are also produced by te same manufacturer. However, products from different suppliers can also be picked in advance in bundled form to facilitate te work of a shared customer.
Te term “hub and spoke” in this context refers to te structure of manufacturing companies and te way in which orders are distributed and processed within that structure. If, for example, a pharmaceutical company orders a packaging solution from its supplier, it is initially received at a central location. However, this is usually not te place where te actual order is processed, but rather a higher-level platform that coordinates all further work steps. This is because packaging manufacturers – like most other companies – also have complex internal structures that transcend location and national borders.
By organising different manufacturing plants like spokes around a central hub, te manufacturer can quickly determine te best production strategy for each job and identify appropriate
capacity. In te next step, they are commissioned with partial or complete processing of te order. Even external resources such as subcontractors can be integrated into this concept.
Finally, te manufactured products are consolidated at another central location, for example a consignment warehouse, and prepared for shipment to te customer.
Te advantage of a hub-and-spoke architecture is that information pathways and responsibilities are clearly defined and capacities within te corporate network are transparent at all times. Packaging manufacturers can thus process their orders particularly efficiently and quickly – this shortens lead times and increases delivery reliability. Functioning data exchange
not only between customer and supplier, but also within te company structure is te most important prerequisite for this.
Quality standards are particularly high in te pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Manufacturers must subject all raw materials and product components supplied to stringent testing in order to comply with regulations such as GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) – this also applies to packaging materials. Until now, packaging manufacturers have provided test documents for this purpose, which were enclosed with te respective delivery in paper form. However, in order to sift through these documents and check te incoming
goods for perfect quality, pharmaceutical companies have to allow for additional lead times, which unnecessarily lengthen te process before te actual packaging takes place.
Certified suppliers provide a remedy here. Nowadays, packaging manufacturers are not only able to transmit inspection documentation in electronic form and thus eliminate superfluous interfaces – they can also carry out te quality inspection themselves directly, even before shipment. To do so, they must be certified by te respective customer. This step may seem more costly at first, but it pays off significantly in te long run, especially with regular collaboration. When te tested goods arrive at te pharmaceutical manufacturer, te latter can use them directly on te packaging line without having to store them again. This saves a lot of time and work – and ultimately also money.

Individuelle emballager til dine krav
Vi udvikler emballagen efter mål sammen med dig.
Med vores store ekspertise inden for lægemidler kan du reducere dine administrative omkostninger til sekundær emballage til én ordre, én fyldningsproces og én inspektion af indgående komponenter. Garanteret sikkerhed i henhold til farmaceutiske kvalitetsstandarder for alle komponenter.
Ud over kravene til identifikation og autentificering af farmaceutisk emballage, der finder anvendelse i EU siden 09.02.2019, er der forskellige kodevarianter i andre lande som Rusland, Kina, Tyrkiet eller Brasilien, hvor implementeringen af de juridiske krav stort set er gennemført. USA går et skridt videre og kræver serialisering og fuldstændig sporbarhed af lægemidler inden 2023 (Track & Trace). Vi er godt forberedte på at imødekomme alle krav og ser frem til din forespørgsel!

Transport- og brudsikker emballage
Ud over faste doseringsformer (tabletter, kapsler, pulvere osv.) produceres der primært flydende og halvfaste lægemidler, som er ekstremt modtagelige for skader under transport og forsendelse. Aktuelle studier forudsiger, at flydende medikamenter, såsom kræftmedicin, biologics eller medicinering inden for mindre anvendelsesområder, vil omfatte næsten en tredjedel af hele verdensmarkedet i løbet af få år. Således vil behovet for individuelt og sikkert emballerede beholdere, som f.eks. flasker, sprøjter, hætteglas osv. fortsat stige, og nye emballagekoncepter efterspurgt.
Vores løsninger til foldeæsker, indlægssedler og etiketter
Patientens sikkerhed, den komplekse behandling i daglig klinisk praksis eller også lovkrav kræver løsninger, hvor lægemiddelemballage i stigende grad fungerer som en udvidet dokumentations- og informationsbærer. Gå på opdagelse i de mange forskellige løsninger fra Faller Packaging!
Nem at åbne samt enkel håndtering
Især den demografiske ændring øger behovet for alderstilpasset emballage med elementer som understøtter indtagelsen af medicin. Her er primært de funktionelle aspekter, som f.eks. let udtagning og håndtering af medicinen (convenience) i fokus. Og hvad angår overholdelsen af den foreskrevne behandling, bør emballagen også hjælpe patienten gennem forskellige funktionaliteter (compliance).
