Jim Fries, Chief Executive Officer, Rx-360

You will be presenting the session Sustainability, Quality and Supply Chain Integrity at CPHI Frankfurt. What can attendees expect to gain from this session?    

They will gain a great understanding of how these areas link together.  It will leave them thinking about how they can improve in these areas.  Every company and organisation is different, my goal is to get them thinking with value points and queries. 

The pandemic shone a light on issues in the supply chain and prompted a mass re-evaluation of how to prevent shortages. What advice can you give for promoting supply chain resilience?   

Have multiple suppliers and always think ahead. Don’t live in the moment
