New Pharma Supply Chain Report; Africa and China Logistics Insight; Using Social Media for SCM

Two interesting geography focussed articles today to share with you on Africa and China. While there is always so much written about logistics in China and to be fair there are so many topics that need to be discussed, it is also great to see a lot more attention going to Africa. Both the logistics challenges that emanate from the continent, and also the growth that it is experiencing are worthy of comment.

eft have produced yet another great original piece of research (ok, I might be slightly biased in my opinion), if you are at all interested in the Life-Sciences/Pharma industry then you should definitely take a read of the first part of the Annual Life Sciences SCM Report Series which has just been released. This edition focuses on pharmaceutical supply chain priorities and challenges for the next 12 months, exploring globalization and security concerns as well as relationships with supply chain partners. The report also looks at the impact of more future-looking trends such as big data, direct-to-consumer delivery and M&A.

Enjoy.

Kind Regards,
