Tony Wright, CEO, Exelsius Cold Chain Managementand member IATA Time & Temperature Task Force and PCCIG

Regulatory Drivers

• Increased scrutiny on the entire distribution supply chain

• Increased expectation in shipment monitoring• Greater regulatory enforcement

Major Regulatory Changes, Standards & Guidance to be enacted in 2011

• United States Pharmacopoeia– General Chapter <1079> Good Storage and Shipping

Practices

• World Health Organization– Harmonized guidance for the storage and transport of

time and temperature–sensitive pharmaceutical products

• Health Canada’s – GUIDE-0069 Guidelines for Temperature Control of Drug

Products during Storage and Transportation

But Wait – There’s More!

• Parenteral Drug Association– Technical Report No. 39: Guidance for

Temperature-Controlled Medicinal Products: Maintaining the Quality of Temperature-Sensitive Medicinal Products through the Transportation Environment

– Technical Report No. 46: Last Mile: Guidance for Good Distribution Practices for Pharmaceutical Products to the End User

… and more

– PDA Technical Report No ?: Recommended Best Practices for Manufacturers of Temperature Sensitive Products to Comply with TSA Cargo Screening Requirements

– HDMA Managing Cold Chain & Temperature Sensitive Products

– IATA Chapter 17: Air Transport Logistics for Time and Temperature-Sensitive Healthcare Products

– And more on the way!

Why All the Attention?

• Substantial increase in temperature-controlled drug products due to:

– Patent expiration on biological drugs– Surge in biologics– New product development– New global markets– Evolving manufacturing practices

Market Statistics

• Market worth approximately US$680bn.• Temperature-controlled market $168bn.• Healthcare market forecast to grow to

US$900bn by 2012.• Nearly 100% of all vaccines and 65% of

biotech products need temperature controlled storage and transportation.

• Biotech market fastest growth – majority by air cargo.

Air Cargo’s Changing Airscape

• Downsized Fleets

• Reconfigured Aircraft Utilization

• Airline Consolidation

• Abandon Lanes

• Trade Imbalances

Emerging economies and changing demographics will shift passenger traffic and consequently, cargo flows

And at a time when outsourced production means greater logistical challenges to cold chain distribution……

The Overall Air Cargo Sector • Approximately 12% of total airline revenues are from air cargo.

• By volume of cargo carried, only 5% is ‘perishable’.

• Healthcare products represent less than 0.5% of total air cargo.

How is the global air cargo sector reacting?

• Increased focus on the healthcare sector.

• Increased collaboration.

• New air cargo handling regulations.

• Improved technology.

Increased Sector Focus

Collaboration

• Mutual

• Physical

• Beneficial

Collaboration: Getting the entire cold chain working together to improve the way it operates

Key Areas of Cold Chain Risk

Collaboration in Practice

• IATA Time & Temperature Task Force

• Manufacturers, forwarders, airlines, regulators, ground handling co’s, technology providers, etc

• Brought together into a commonly understood purpose – patient safety.

• Required immense time & effort

Collaboration resulted in a new set of Regulations...

• IATA Perishable Cargo Regulations, Chapter 17

• Binding to all IATA members

• Specific to the handling of time and temperature-sensitive products.

... and a vital new label

Gaining Industry Support

Transportation Technology Advances

• Provides both heating and cooling.

• Reliable, compressor-driven technology.

• On-board temperature monitor

Summary

• Regulation, regulation, regulation• Challenges of global manufacturing• Air Cargo’s changing ‘airscape’• Capacity vs. growth• Cold chain growing fast(er)• The air cargo sector is reacting• Collaboration & new technology

Who depends on us working together?

They Do!
