Case Study: Allergan improves pharmaceutical supply chain planning with Adexa
A Adexa, Inc. Case Study
Overcoming the Challenges and Intricate Requirements Of Pharmaceutical Supply Chains
Allergan, the multinational pharmaceutical company, was relying on a highly manual, Excel-driven supply chain and factory planning process that left planners spending too much time moving data instead of analyzing it. The company needed better factory commitments, daily replanning, demand prioritization, and more automation across complex API blending and fill-line operations.
Adexa implemented its planning system and integrated it with SAP to model Allergan’s manufacturing operations in detail, including tank-to-fill-line synchronization, QA and on-hold inventory controls, country/regulatory and clinical-trial demand attributes, and expiration-date/shelf-life requirements. As a result, Allergan was able to generate optimized plans for API and fill-line operations, improve equipment utilization and on-time delivery performance, and reduce planning cycle time by replacing manual spreadsheet planning with daily S&OE planning.
