Life science supply chains are lengthy and complex. They are also surprisingly resilient.
Yet this resilience has come at high cost—and it’s increasingly strained by the rise of personalized treatments, advanced production techniques, and stringent regulations. The industry’s reliance on manufacturing partners adds complexity and obscures visibility. Cost, service, and agility are difficult to balance.
Traditional supply chain management processes weren’t designed for today’s global companies. They are siloed and inefficient, resulting in high costs, imbalanced inventory, and a visibility gap that makes it difficult to see—much less respond to—market changes.
Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) aligns replenishment not to disjointed schedules and forecasts but to market demand from actual orders. It works by establishing—and dynamically adapting—inventory buffers of key materials, helping planners meet changing demand without increasing costs. The result: more visibility, better outcomes, and increased operational efficiency.
By aligning inventory to sales-order driven demand, DDMRP can help you:
