The so-called pharmaceutical logistics refers to relying on certain logistics equipment, technology, and logistics management information systems, effectively integrating upstream and downstream resources of marketing channels, optimizing the pharmaceutical supply, marketing, distribution, and transportation links in the acceptance, storage, sorting, distribution, and other operational processes to improve order processing capacity, reduce cargo sorting errors, shorten inventory and distribution time, reduce logistics costs, improve service levels and efficiency of capital use, and achieve the Automation, informatization, and efficiency.
Compared with the logistics of general goods pharmaceutical logistics has some different characteristics mainly the following.
1, pharmaceutical logistics transportation batch is small, high frequency, and the transportation tool has certain requirements.
Pharmaceuticals usually have light quality, high-value characteristics of the pharmaceutical logistics requirements for vehicles are generally not the requirements of the vehicle tonnage, but rather require vehicles to have a good smoothness for some special drugs also need to be transported at low temperatures, such as injections, vaccines and so on.
2, pharmaceutical logistics operations, the requirements of the storage of pharmaceutical products, batch management, and other aspects of strict control.
As a result of a wide variety of drugs, classification is also very complex pharmaceutical commodities according to the nature of the division can be divided into chemical drugs, APIs, proprietary Chinese medicines, biopharmaceuticals, medical equipment, medical supplies, etc. According to the preservation of temperature, points can be divided into ambient drugs, low-temperature drugs, frozen drugs, etc. Different types of drugs are suitable for their nature of the storage of some medicines for the storage of temperature, humidity, light, etc. There are requirements for the storage of drugs and different batches of different production times should also be separated for storage. Different batches of drugs due to different production times should also be stored separately.
3, the pharmaceutical logistics process there is a lot of zero work.
The pharmaceutical business is mainly retail plus a wide range of drugs, so the distribution of pharmaceutical products will produce a large number of zero actions sometimes the whole box operation and zero operations need to be carried out at the same time, so the pharmaceutical logistics and distribution to have a strict quality control, to improve operational efficiency.
4, the pharmaceutical logistics relative to other industries in general in terms of logistics to enter the gateway to a higher level.
The state stipulates that all enterprises engaged in the distribution of pharmaceuticals must be certified by the GSP. Drugs in the circulation process of procurement, acceptance, storage, sales, and other aspects of the operation must be strictly in accordance with the provisions of the GSP, the qualification requirements of enterprises are high.
5, pharmaceutical logistics has a certain degree of contingency.
This is affected by natural and man-made factors such as floods, earthquakes, other natural disasters or epidemic diseases, and other unpredictable factors.
Compared with other logistics, pharmaceutical logistics is more specific, whether it is the facilities and equipment, the transportation process, etc. There are strict requirements, the entry threshold is relatively high. But at the same time, pharmaceutical logistics is also a huge market, the major courier giants are competing for this 100 billion market. Want to get a place in pharmaceutical logistics, that enhances the company's strength and enhances the pharmaceutical logistics facilities and equipment network system is essential.
