Agenda Day 1

Get ready to break the ice in the most delightful way possible – with our Snowball Fight Icebreaker! Join us for a playful and interactive session where participants will engage in a unique twist on the classic snowball fight. No need for winter gear – these snowballs are made of fun and camaraderie!

Write down 3 objectives that you would like to get out of LogiPharma Asia this year on a piece of paper. Crumble up the paper into a ball and throw it at each other. At the end of the “snowball fight”, get to know the people around you, gather as a group, and open up a bunch of “snowballs” together to find out what objectives other attendees have for attending.

• In the face of global disruptions such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, and public health emergencies, how can you strategically plan to enhance resilience within the supply chain?

• Considering the evolving geopolitical landscape, how does your leadership team assess and navigate geopolitical risks that may impact the supply chain?

• How do you foster collaboration and partnerships with key stakeholders to minimize risks associated with global disruptions given the highly interconnected nature of the supply chain?

• How do you adapt supply chain strategies to ensure agility and responsiveness given the dynamic nature of disruptions – e.g. geopolitical risks and unexpected public health crises?

• How do you engage in scenario planning and implement contingency measures – and were there any real-life instances of effective scenario planning that led to successful risk mitigation and minimized the impact of unforeseen events?

• In developing a global supply chain strategy, how do you navigate the trade-offs between cost efficiency and the imperative for supply chain resilience and agility?

• Cost efficiency often involves streamlining processes, why may incur risks. How do you integrate risk management into cost-effective practices within the supply chain to ensure resilience against unforeseen disruptions?

• How does technology play a role in your strategy to achieve both cost efficiency and supply chain resilience – and are there specific technologies or digital tools that have been instrumental in balancing these dual objectives?

• How do you collaborate with suppliers to achieve cost efficiency while implementing measures to mitigate potential risks?

• What are some real-life instances where an agile approach allowed you to adapt to unforeseen circumstances without compromising cost efficiency?

• How to implement a digital twin of the end-to-end pharmaceutical supply chain and what specific components or processes needs to be represented within this digital model for it to be effective

• In leveraging a digital twin, how do you ensure the seamless integration of data from various points across the supply chain?

• Examples of instances where insights derived from the digital twin have influenced strategic decisions, resulting in cost reduction and improved service levels

• How can the digital twin identify inefficiencies or opportunities for optimization and give rise to tangible cost savings?

• How can the use of a digital twin positively impact service levels within the supply chain through enhanced visibility, responsiveness, or overall performance resulting from insights derived?

• What technologies and methodologies have helped in increasing transparency, visibility, and accountability across various stages of the supply chain?

• What strategies can you use to facilitate tracking and tracing from raw materials through manufacturing, distribution, and ultimately to the end consumer?

• How can you leverage data analytics to enhance traceability in the supply chain through deriving actionable insights, identifying patterns, and improving overall visibility from raw materials to the end consumer?

• Considering the evolving regulatory landscape, how do you align traceability efforts with regulatory requirements?

• How does traceability contribute to customer engagement and transparency?

• Given the digital nature of traceability systems, how can you prioritize and implement cybersecurity measures to ensure the integrity and security of the traceability data?

• How blockchain can be used to enhance transparency, traceability, and security

• How to leverage on Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to achieve real-time visibility across various tiers of the

supply chain to improve monitoring, tracking, and overall efficiency within the supply chain

• How to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive intelligent decision-making within supply chain operations and optimise processes and forecasting

• How have these digital technologies collectively resulted in notable improvements in operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and time-to-market?

• Given the diverse regulatory landscapes across different regions, what strategies or processes are there to

ensure compliance while maintaining operational efficiency in different markets?

• Infrastructure disparities can significantly impact supply chain operations – how can you tailor your strategy to navigate variations in infrastructure across regions, especially in terms of transportation, logistics, and warehousing?

• Since consumer behavior varies across markets, how would this influence aspects such as inventory planning, distribution, and market-specific product offerings – and how would you incorporate such insights into your supply chain strategy?

• How do you localize certain supply chain processes – e.g. do you make any region-specific adaptations in areas such as sourcing, manufacturing, or distribution to better align with local requirements and preferences?

• How does your pharmaceutical supply chain strategy involve collaboration with local partners, including distributors, suppliers, or regulatory bodies?

• How to identify and assess potential risks through scenario planning and use these scenarios to inform strategic decision-making

• How to leverage data analytics to gather relevant information for scenario planning

• How to use predictive modeling and analytics to forecast risks, enabling proactive mitigation strategies

• How to collaborate with other departments and external partners to develop proactive mitigation strategies based on data analytics and ensure a coordinated response to identified risks

• How to continuously identify scenarios and adapt mitigation strategies accordingly for effective risk management and resilience within the supply chain
