Episode Synopsis

What can the clinical trials supply chain teach us about getting products to patients on time and in full (OTIF)? A great deal, according to David Northrup, Head of Supply Chain at Theravance Biopharma. In this episode of The Agile Supply Chain Podcast, Northrup shares the important supply chain lessons he learned while working in the clinical trials supply chain, as well as some sage advice on how to increase patient-centricity and improve OTIF in your organization.Key TakeawaysThe clinical trials supply chain has always been highly focused on the patient; therefore, it can serve as a model for patient-centricity in the commercial pharmaceutical supply chain.Building closer relationships with downstream partners can help you gain a better understanding of the drivers behind patient demand.Looking beyond the walls of the supply chain team and sharing data with other areas of the business can help you significantly improve demand forecast accuracy.
