FastChain® Demand Led Supply
FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT PATIENT-FOCUSED CLINICAL SUPPLY
FastChain® demand-led supply is Catalent’s dynamic, decentralized continuous GMP approach to secondary packaging, labeling, release and distribution of made-to-order patient kits to clinical sites from regional distribution hubs based upon actual (site/patient) demand.
There are three options available with FastChain®:
Pack to Stock: Packaging occurs BEFORE the demand is received, based on known or anticipated short term demand with a turnaround time as low as 10 days*
Pack to Order: Packaging occurs AFTER demand is received from the clinical site with a turnaround time as low as 3 days*
Hybrid Model: A customized solution to cover all requirements and all types of studies —this is a combination of Pack to Stock and Pack to Order demand fulfillment models, optimizing flexibility and waste reduction while at the same time managing supply chain risk and improving cost efficiencies.
