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. They 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?

Across the full supply chain, packaging safeguards drug product from external influences and foreign materials. To assure that pharmaceutical packaging functions as required, validation needs to be planned and executed before the drug product is available in the marketplace. Join us to discuss updates from the ISTA and PDA communities related to temperature-controlled packaging. The learning objectives for this webinar are:

  • Create awareness of the ISTA Pharma Committee
  • Share ISTA Pharma Committee organizational updates
  • Share a synopsis of the soon to be released Passive Thermal Packaging System Operational Qualification Best Practice Guideline
  • Share PDA organizational updates
  • Create awareness of the PDA Technical Report 39 updates
