Kinaxis Clinical Supply Chain Planning

Unlock agility and efficiency across the clinical supply chain with Genpact and Kinaxis.

Genpact and Kinaxis: A partnership for seamless supply chain orchestration

Clinical supply chain planning is complex. Amid pressure to accelerate drug launches, teams face regulatory constraints, fragmented data, and volatile demand – driving up costs, waste, and delays.

 

Our solution, built on Kinaxis Maestro™, simplifies end-to-end planning – from forecast to supply to sales and operations planning (S&OP) – for faster, more precise drug dispensation with enhanced visibility and reduced complexity.

Improve trial planning accuracy with real-time patient enrollment data, dynamic study design, and simplified forecasting.

Connect your trial data and systems with IRT vendors and CMOs for smoother trial operations while prioritizing security.

Streamline regulatory approvals and conquer compliance hurdles

  • Effortlessly manage regulatory approvals for each clinical trial by country and balance demand and supply with jurisdictional requirements and varying approval dates

  • Address rules for specific versions, country of origin, as well as batch-specific rules around shelf life

  • Use attribute-based planning designed for on-time, in-full delivery of clinical supplies without regulatory bottlenecks

Master patient demand with dynamic forecasting and planning

  • Calculate demand curves based on study design elements, including first patient first visit (FPFV) and last patient last visit (LPLV)

  • Support various study designs like double-blinded, dose-escalation, and placebo-controlled trials, among others

  • Improve forecast accuracy and cut overages by adjusting inputs based on study design and aligning research and development activities with demand

Control drug wastage with smarter shelf-life planning

  • Incorporate stability protocols in the supply review process

  • Plan for changes in expiration dates of drugs and use stability protocols for supply selection and timing

  • Integrate the stability plan into the advanced planning system to help replan expiring batches and limit the number of planned orders – minimizing waste while making the right materials available when needed

Transform product life cycles with meticulous data management

  • Consolidate scattered, protocol-specific data that lacks integration across sites and contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs)

  • Gain agility in life cycle management processes with supply chain master data management

  • Manage data with precision through years of changes as a molecule progresses through trial stages, and create an extended network from finished clinical goods to drug product and drug substance

Optimize clinical supply chains end to end with tailored deployment

  • Tackle end-to-end clinical supply planning, beyond forecasting, covering inventory, expiration tracking, distribution, and regulatory compliance

  • Function independently or integrate with SAP, an existing Kinaxis instance, interactive response technology (IRT), and CMOs for a unified supply chain

  • Use prebuilt templates, automation, and analytics to help deploy faster and unlock measurable benefits.

Increase speed to market with a single solution

  • Fully integrate supply chain planning for both your clinical and commercial supply chain practices to maximize efficiencies

  • Achieve greater collaboration and speed to market once approvals are secured

  • Maximize shared assets to support rapid profits for continued investment in research and development
