3PLs Finding Balance, Hitting Service Goals
According to Evan Armstrong, president of 3PL consulting firm Armstrong and Associates, U.S. 3PL gross revenue in 2013 saw annual gains, up 3.2 percent over 2012 at $146.4 billion. He says that while global trade and economic activity serve as the "ultimate drivers" of market growth, the maturity of competitive service offerings and the size of major players are contributing to slower growth rates. http://www.logisticsmgmt.com/view/3pls_finding_balance_hitting_service_goals/3pl
Pharmaceutical supply chains: The riskiest business supply chain
All supply chains entail a certain degree of risk. But none faces a more daunting challenge than the business of pharmaceuticals. Pharma supply chain managers must cope with four distinct threats: Intentional adulteration of product, the theft of popular drugs for illicit or unintended use, counterfeiting of branded items and diversion to unauthorized markets. As if that weren’t enough, the industry is grappling with a pair of new regulations that intensify scrutiny of product moving throughout the chain. http://www.supplychainbrain.com/content/single-‐article-‐page/article/pharmaceutical-‐supply-‐chains-‐the-‐riskiest-‐business/
