Reinventing Pharma Supply Chain Consulting

How Deloitte operates in Pharma Supply Chains

In recent years, pharmaceutical companies have managed to enter unexplored markets where success is driven by the capability to scale up fast. Profits generated by in-demand breakthrough products often create operational challenges for supply chains. To support our clients, we have developed a new approach that builds, operates and transfers operational knowledge, allowing companies to focus fully on their strategic and financial growth.

What do companies like Moderna, Novo Nordisk, Lilly and Incyte have in common?


They were all able to develop and commercialise unique products that created unprecedent demand in the market: the COVID-19 vaccine, Ozempic, Olumiant are a few names that show how sales can grow exponentially in a very short time frame.

However, success can turn into challenges


Here is the other side of the coin: were the above companies operationally ready to face such high demand in a short time frame?

In this unique situation, is extremely easy that areas as demand management, supply and production, 3PL and distribution, supply chain and company’s culture could be severely impacted.

Challenges that we solve with an unconventional consulting approach


Based on our on-the-ground experience, we have developed a new approach focused on supporting our clients in this sort of situations: we Build, we Operate, and we Transfer.

Build: We analyse the as-is situation, taking responsibility for the design, construction, and development of the project. We identify critical focus areas and build solutions to deal with your challenges.

Operate: We can act on your behalf on the daily, weekly, and monthly activities that must be carried out to ensure on time market deliveries. We are equipped to advise and take key decisions or escalate when necessary.

Transfer: We ensure that operations continue running properly after internal capabilities and teams are developed. We provide comprehensive training, detailed documentation, and handover materials to avoid disruption.

Which allows us to be operational from day one


Our broad experience has been built through a constant learning journey with our clients: from Network Optimisation to CMO Management, from Lifecycle Management to Operational Finance, our service offering is based on resources who already have experience with operational challenges in organisations and have supported them across different focus areas.

Letting you prioritise strategic and sustainable growth


When a winning product is developed, it is critical that the company focuses on its own strategic and sustainable growth and is able to take the right decisions fast and efficiently.

Meanwhile we invest our experience in running your operations across manufacturing, supply & demand, logistics and cold chain building the backbones of the newly launched business.

  • How: a select group of our experts will be available to meet you on -site for an exploratory session to understand together your priorities
  • What: we will share ideas and solutions to eliminate or minimise your challenges

Meet us in an exploratory session where your challenges can be addressed by our people.

We act as ONE and we make it happen.
