Life Sciences supply chain solutions

Determine order lead times with advanced algorithms that assess optimal inventory levels at each node of the supply chain based on customer order history. What-if analysis helps you plan inventory for new product introductions, including lead times for regulatory approvals. Safety stock can be reduced to lower capital requirements and improve cash flow to reallocate for R&D. Inventory and order optimization supports new product introductions.

Blue Yonder supply planning and order optimization generates distribution plans that respect shelf-life constraints and alternate sourcing compliance by market; tracks and manages date-sensitive inventory; understands bulk requirements from bottom-up replenishment; and supports new distribution models such as direct-to-pharmacy and direct-to-hospital.

Consider all transportation options to ensure lowest cost modes, routes, and carriers are evaluated to meet delivery commitments. The system optimizes global multi-leg, multi-modal shipments to local multi-stop fleet routing. Transportation is fully integrated with warehouse and labor management to synchronize operations based on priorities and constraints.

Manage the flow of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventory across internal distribution networks. The system automatically assigns each worker to the most productive task based on order priorities, proximity to inventory, and the equipment and certifications of each worker. Efficiency can be enhanced with RFID devices, voice picking, and pick-to-light automation.
