Reports – au<strong>to</strong>mated supply management<br />
Figure 2- future data standardisation allowing au<strong>to</strong>mated supply <strong>chain</strong> integration<br />
More efficient and effective clinical trials?<br />
Sponsor companies can assist the clinical trial supply departments both within their<br />
own company and outsourcing partners, by planning ahead and giving some visibility<br />
<strong>to</strong> the drug development plans. This will assist in management of demand forecasting<br />
and capacity, and also identify potential problems in advance.<br />
Further use of technology <strong>to</strong> control and manage various parts of the clinical supply<br />
<strong>chain</strong> means that data integration needs will grow within the industry. Organisations<br />
will strive <strong>to</strong> focus not only on operational expertise, but also on the ability <strong>to</strong><br />
integrate in<strong>to</strong> set data standards that allow them <strong>to</strong> take their place in an integrated<br />
supply <strong>chain</strong>.<br />
