Featured Content: S&OP and Cost Control the Biggest Supply Chain Priorities for Medical Devices – new complimentary report
Following on from the release of eyefortransport’s Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Focus Report, here is the second part of the report - the Medical Devices Supply Chain Focus Report.
From the results of a global survey on the challenges and priorities of life sciences supply chain executives, we’ve created a 14 page report and an info-graphic that shows some of the most interesting statistics in an easy-to-read form.
The report is complimentary and you will also get access to the pharmaceutical report in case you missed it. You can download the reports directly below -

The reports analyse supply chain priorities, security challenges and partner relationships from the point of view of pharmaceutical and medical devices supply chain executives, solution providers to the industry and hospital and pharmacy customers.
Results chart the level of direct-to-customer deliveries, hospital and pharmacy supply chain challenges (physician preference led the field), globalization issues and more. You’ll also be able to access the 2012 global report for comparison.
