Unbreakable: Pharma Giant Uses Big Data to Defy Nature's Wrath

Challenge: In late summer 2017, a large pharmaceutical company found its supply chain threatened by three hurricanes and an earthquake. As a manufacturer of medicines for neurological diseases, the company was under governmental and commercial pressure to avoid disruption from four significant events occurring in quick succession.

Solution: In advance of each event, the client was able to leverage our suite of intelligence solutions — which include supply chain mapping, 24/7 event monitoring and scenario modeling — to forecast potential supplier-impacts and respond proactively. The resulting actions included expedition of critical materials away from impact zones and forward ordering from suppliers unaffected by the events.

Results: The company averted shortages in the supply of materials essential to pharmaceutical manufacture, and it was able to operate normally and use learning from the disasters to launch cross-functional playbooks. These playbooks are incorporated on our platform to serve as guidance for managing future disruptive events.
