GDP pharmaceutical logistics: storage and transport

Pharmaceutical logistics: connect storage and transport controls

We follow the goods flow from receipt through storage, picking, dispatch and delivery. Product requirements, routes and service providers determine the temperature, traceability, quality-agreement and deviation controls. Responsibilities are defined at each handover.

• Products, temperature requirements and delivery routes
• Warehouse, carriers, subcontractors and quality agreements
• Performance data, deviations and returns

Deliverables and next steps

You receive a process and responsibility matrix with actions for the warehouse, carriers and quality team. Technical requirements, partner selection and routine controls are coordinated. A new operating model includes an agreed pilot, acceptance checks and transition into routine operation.

• Inbound, quarantine, batch and returns processes
• Partner qualification and documented interfaces

Embed the Responsible Person

The Responsible Person receives clear tasks, decision routes and evidence – internal or external, never merely nominal.

• Role model, cover and release rules
• GDP gap analysis and action plan
• Support for licences, audits and authority communication

Make teams audit-ready

Training, SOPs, deviations, CAPA and self-inspections become part of daily operation.

• Role-based GDP training
• Document control and evidence
• Mock audits and effective CAPA
