Rx-360 Supply Chain Security White Paper: A Comprehensive Supply Chain Security Management System

Protecting patients is the obligation of the pharmaceutical industry and is fundamental to our business. Supply Chain Security (SCS) is the prevention, detection, and response to intentional adulteration, theft, counterfeit, and diversion that threaten patient safety. These threats are on the rise in an increasingly complex and global supply chain and an integrated approach to managing security risk across the supply chain is needed. Through the open collaboration of Rx-360 companies, the SCS Initiative seeks to improve the practices of security across the industry and its supply chain. The objective of this white paper is to share the concept of a comprehensive management system that can provide a common perspective and set the foundation of a maturity model that will drive the measurable and sustainable improvement of these practices.

This paper, created by Rx-360 member company supply chain security experts, provides industry and other stakeholders with a comprehensive overview of fundamental elements that can be considered for a mature supply chain security program, and provides an introduction to other key program elements that will be expanded on in subsequent white papers and guidelines.
