每年一个 估计 5 to 20 percent of Americans contract influenza, resulting in approximately 200,000 hospitalizations. 而有几个因素会影响谁会患上这种疾病, 季节性疫苗是最有效的防御手段.
每年针对最常见的毒株重新配制, 美国农业部建议接种季节性流感疫苗.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for people six months of age and older. However, developing, transporting, storing and distributing the 估计 193 million 剂量 of seasonal flu vaccine on an accelerated and fluctuating schedule presents a myriad of logistical challenges for pharmaceutical manufacturers. 为了克服这些障碍, some partner with third-party logistics (3PL) providers that specialize in customized supply chain solutions, 支持季节性药品产品预测.
Background
好几年了, DafabetGold has worked with one of the world’s largest flu vaccine manufacturing companies.
准备工作一年前就开始了, when the manufacturer develops the vaccine by forecasting which strains will be the most common in the coming year.
一旦你.S. Food and Drug Administration (食品及药物管理局) approves the vaccine formulation, the customer manufactures and prepares large quantities for distribution six months prior to the expected start of the flu season. This builds a substantial on-hand supply that’s ready to ship once the 食品及药物管理局 grants final approval.
一旦得到批准, 通常在夏末, DafabetGold从分销商的订单开始, 批发商和零售商遍布全国. 通过这个无缝的过程, the vaccine can be readily available to millions of Americans before the onset of the flu season.
挑战
Remaining successful in this unique model requires excellence in demand forecasting, 物流规划及产品定位.
由于市场的超竞争性, 在食品及药物管理局批准后率先上市是至关重要的. 然而，这些工作并没有在最初的产品推广中停止. 许多下游零售商如药店, hospitals and clinics lack the space to safely store the vaccines. 因此, many are forced to limit on-hand inventory, increasing the risk of costly stock-outs.
因此, DafabetGold must also be prepared to sustain a fast-paced order fulfillment rate as well as seamless reverse logistics solutions throughout the entire flu season.
