About LogiPharma
Introduction
The most successful pharmaceutical companies across the globe recognise that a
streamlined supply chain can add considerable value to their business’s bottom line. An
efficient supply chain is an effective differentiator, placing your brand at the head of the
pack in a competitive marketplace.
This report is designed for those who have their finger on the pulse of the industry –
inside you will discover responses to key issues raised to us by leading figures in the
pharmaceutical supply chain industry.
Created by the team behind the LogiPharma conference, we interviewed 100 senior
supply chain executives from large pharma companies across Europe. The job titles
surveyed for this report include: Vice President of Supply Chain Management, Global
Head of Supply Chain & Strategy, Director of SCM & Procurement, Head of Cold Chain
Logistics, amongst others of a similar standing.

All participants agreed that supply chain has the potential to exert
positive influence on their business’s bottom line, however, there is
an almost even split about its current efficiency at doing so.
Supply chain leaders are currently implementing new strategies in end-to-end
visibility, transparency and prioritisation. Our results suggest that there is a lot of
work still to be done in many organisations before supply chain is able to make a
significant, and a consistent, impact on the bottom line.
