Libro Blanco Biopharmaceutical Logistics 101: Characteristics and Case Studies

Biopharmaceuticals are medicines made using raw materials derived from humans or other living organisms using biotechnology. Biopharmaceuticals are made from organisms, which make them susceptible to damage. Damaged biopharmaceuticals lose their intended function and, in the worst-case scenario, have a critical impact on the life and health of those who use them. As rapid and safe distribution of medicines becomes more important since COVID-19, attention in biopharmaceutical logistics is increasing. The pharmaceuticals logistics requires specialized transportation and management processes.

This white paper explains the definition and characteristics of biopharmaceutical logistics, and looks into each challenge and solution through biopharmaceutical logistics cases such as international transportation and warehouses.
