Healthcare Supply Chain
STRATEGIC CONTROL TOWER
Yusen Logistics’ Control Tower manages global air and sea freight movements together with a full range of Customs and fiscal services, linking into our offices around the world. This enables us to offer efficient solutions to deliveries into and collections from our pharmaceutical road transportation network.
The Control Tower provides aerial views across Europe, whatever the origin or destination, as well as managing inbound / outbound global flows. This enables centralised planning of pan-European transport movements to maximise vehicle utilisation, minimise empty running, reduce pallet costs and achieve environmental benefits, whilst ensuring product integrity.
Yusen Logistics has indepth experience in re-engineering complex global flows and optimising freight modes. We pride ourselves on improving quality, eradicating risk and achieving ongoing cost-down, faced with challenging timescales, temperature demands and security requirements.
Our dedicated healthcare experts manage all transactions from receipt through to final delivery, providing GDP compliance and full shipment transparency throughout the supply chain.
EUROPEAN SUPERHIGHWAY
Yusen Logistics’ award-winning dedicated European Pharmaceutical Superhighway carries over 1.25 million pallets per annum, providing both shared and single use solutions to highly complex supply chains.
Managed by the Control Tower, it is based on a strategic network of specialist pharmaceutical hubs that consolidate and cross-dock product for onward delivery throughout Western and Eastern Europe and worldwide.
The Superhighway operates on Yusen Logistics’ strategically developed VISION transport management application, which has been tailored to the exact demands of pharmaceutical tracking requirements.
The Superhighway is serviced by a GDP approved fleet of 3,500 trailers and 210 express vehicles. The fleet comprises a mix of own resources and those of fully audited and approved haulier partners.
All vehicles are temperature controlled (for both ambient and cold chain products), GPS tracked with remote temperature monitoring and operating to GDP guidelines, ensuring safe transit and delivery.
For controlled drugs and narcotics additional controls are in place to ensure safe delivery, including dedicated solutions for a single pallet upwards.
QUALITY
The healthcare industry is all about people. As an extension of our customers’ business, Yusen Logistics works to bring maximum benefit to your supply chain, ensuring that product integrity is never compromised and innovation forms part of our continuous improvement process.
With the increasing complexity of flows in the pharmaceutical sector, maintaining quality in these global supply chains is a real challenge. This industry cannot afford quality issues at almost any level, which creates costly tests and validation processes.
For this reason Yusen Logistics has invested in GDP trained experts in our dedicated pharmaceutical Control Tower. These experts are supported by a quality and compliance team who ensure that Yusen exceeds the demands of the industry.
Yusen Logistics operates a network of strategic GDP warehouse locations around Europe and international locations.
All these sites are working to quality guidelines set out by our team and regular training is provided to ensure we continuously meet the standards that are required.
In addition to GDP compliance, Yusen Logistics is also approved for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO18002, ISO28000, J-SOX, AEO, TAPA and Cargo2000, as well as following the company’s global Kaizen philosophy.
