Pharmaceutical Supply Chain & Distribution Center Contingencies During COVID-19: Collaborative Learning Q&A

Moderator:
Courtney Becker-James, ELPRO

Panelists:
Patrick Girten, Manager, Quality Distribution US/PR, Bristol Myers Squibb;
Michael Hollweck, Senior Manager QA Logistics Americas, Celgene

Supply chains across industries all over the world are broken and faltering. Pharmaceutical supply chains face the same challenges, with one big difference – the patient. While many pharmaceutical businesses are fighting to supply kits and find treatments and vaccines for COVID-19 – there are still patients with life-threatening illnesses or chronic diseases that need medications.

This panel of QA and logistics experts will share their experiences during COVID-19 in re-routing, re-planning their distribution center operations and supply chains. We will discuss contingency plans, current impact, and how they foresee business post-COVID.

Discussion topics include:

    • Precautionary DC operations during COVID
    • Creating redundancy in distribution with secondary sites and logistics providers
    • Approving new contingency routes
    • Shipping cross borders and customs
    • Virtual audits – is this a viable future for pharmaceutical QA supply chains?
