Improving the Flexibility and Reactivity of your Supply Chain to Remove Waste and Cut the Cost of Global Clinical Trials

Increased complexity of clinical trials, entering into new regions, multiple site trials and differing regulatory requirements are all adding to the difficulties of getting the right supplies to the right places…on time!

What strategies are you putting in place to ensure efficiency in your supply chain and prevent over runs?

We recently conducted an industry wide survey to try and figure out how to achieve the efficiency and cost savings needed. Over 85% of you said that implementing IxRS systems and achieving a pooled supply approach, however, difficulties lie in choosing the right equipment and knowing which studies to pool. You spoke and we listened, creating a jam packed programme to give you all the latest case studies in the area.

Where?

We're back in Basel! The feedback from the 2012 event was conclusive; we will remain in one of Europe's most dense pharmaceutical and biotech hubs for Clinical Trial Supply 2013. You told us that Basel was easy to reach, the venue was fantastic and your trip could be combined with other business activities, so it was an easy decision to remain at the congress centre!
