You can use Pinpoint Bottlenecks to identify the worst performing lanes and specific points of interest in your supply chain where shipments have excessive lead time and high lead time variability.
Inefficiencies in the supply chain, such as prolonged lead times and bottlenecks, result in significant challenges for pharmaceutical companies. These delays can disrupt production schedules, extend time-to-market, and increase operational costs, ultimately impacting patient access to critical medicines.
