Problem: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased global drug demand, but Indian pharma manufacturers face challenges such as unpredictable demand, strict regulations, and rigid production processes. Issues like supply chain disruptions, frequent plan changes, and overloads or underloads in production routes reduce efficiency, delay deliveries, and increase costs. Solution: Adopt a flexible, dynamic manufacturing approach by decoupling procurement and quality control from forecasts. Implement full kits for production, prioritize orders by urgency, and dispense based on route load to optimize output. Benefits: This approach improves resource utilization, reduces lead times, increases output, and enhances the ability to meet demand fluctuations, ensuring timely deliveries and better efficiency.

Key Takeaways

Can pharmaceutical giants address their unique operational challenges to help them be more flexible on the shop floor, discover hidden capacity, significantly increase output and respond quickly to changing market demands? They can, with a unique 'pull' based approach.
