Horizon’s Project How did we identify the correct partner? 1) 2) 3) 4)
Nomination of possible partners with a Pre-RFQ Questionnaire Selection of Candidates for a quotation Face-to-Face presentations by the Candidates Final decision for one partner
And then? Let‘s start to design the supply chain considering all aspects related to product stability, GDP, timelines, etc.

Horizon’s Design How did we jointly design the supply chain? 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7)
Involve all stakeholders in a timely manner Clarify all governance and compliance requirements Conduct Risk Analysis based on various modes and routes Establish, discuss and fine-tune the workflow and SOPs Determine deviation management and contingency Plan route qualification and timing. H Inform and train all stakeholders O
It is of substantial importance to have a clear and common understanding of what is expected from each involved party.

Horizon’s Deviation Alert System – cont. How and when do we know if something went wrong? 1) 2+ RFID/ temperature/humidity loggers on every skid – Door/Door 2) One managed web-based monitoring system with RFID router interchange at every handover point in the supply chain Door/Door 3) Clear communication matrix and action measures in case of deviation. 4) Immediate data (event, location and graph) availability for review 5) Decision process in case of deviation alerts 6) CAR/CAPA process to follow final report It is of great advantage to have unlimited access to the shipment at all times. This beneficially influences the deviation process and time.
