Abstract

Pravilno skladištenje i transport farmaceutskih proizvoda s ciljem očuvanja kakvoće, djelotvornosti i sigurnosti nužno je tijekom cijelog lanca distribucije. Farmaceutski proizvodi zahtijevaju skladištenje i transport pod određenim uvjetima koji osiguravaju održavanje prvotne kvalitete. Takvi uvjeti zahtijevaju korištenje specijaliziranih skladišta i prijevoznih sredstava. Moderne tehnologije mogu biti od neprocjenjivog značaja u svrhu prikupljanja i dokumentiranja podataka o uvjetima pod kojima se farmaceutski proizvod čuva od proizvodnje, tijekom transporta do isporuke. Samim time pred brojne proizvođače je postavljen važan zadatak. Cilj je u što kraćem vremenu i s maksimalnim očuvanjem kakvoće, djelotvornosti i sigurnosti dostaviti navedene proizvode do krajnjeg potrošača. Za potrebe ostvarivanja cilja rada provedeno je primarno istraživanje nad uzorkom od pet stručnjaka iz farmaceutske industrije i jednim stručnjakom iz veledrogerije, a svi su voditelji logističkih odjela u svojim kompanijama koji su zaduženi za upravljanje cjelokupnim logističkim procesom koje je nužno za funkcioniranje distribucijskog sustava. Više od 95% farmaceutskih proizvoda zahtijeva transport i skladištenje u uvjetima s aktivnom regulacijom temperature. S obzirom na zastupljenost vrste transporta koji kompanije koriste, prvo mjesto s visokih 95-100% zauzima transport putem cestovnih prometnih sredstava, a najzastupljenije prijevozno sredstvo je kamion s aktivnom regulacijom temperature. Kod farmaceutskih proizvoda važno je imati temperaturno praćenje tijekom cijelog trajanja transporta, bez obzira radi li se o cestovnom, pomorskom ili zračnom transportu. Cijena transporta s aktivnom regulacijom temperature je u prosjeku 30-40% skuplja u odnosu na transport bez regulacije temperature. U farmaceutskoj industriji postoje vrlo stroge kontrole procesa distribucije u svakom koraku distribucijskog lanca. Velika je odgovornost na proizvođačima farmaceutskih proizvoda – farmaceutskim kompanijama, budući da su oni odgovorni da proizvod stigne do krajnjeg potrošača iste kvalitete, sigurnosti i djelotvornosti kakve je bio kada je odobren s njihove strane za stavljanje u promet, stoga provode redovite audite nad ugovornim trećim stranama odgovornim za transport u bilo kojem koraku lanca distribucije.

Abstract (english)

Proper storage and transportation of pharmaceutical products in order to preserve their quality, efficacy and safety are necessary throughout the distribution chain. Pharmaceutical products require storage and transport under certain conditions that ensure the maintenance of the original quality. Such conditions require the use of specialized warehouses and types of transportation. Modern technologies can be invaluable tools to gather and document data on the conditions under which a pharmaceutical product is stored from the release by the manufacturer, during transport to delivery. Therefore, a number of manufacturers are faced with an important task. The goal is to deliver these products to the end users in the shortest possible time and with maximum preservation of quality, efficiency and safety. For achieving the aim of this work, a primary research was conducted with a sample of five experts from the pharmaceutical industry and one expert from the wholesale who are heads of logistics departments in their companies and are in charge of managing the entire logistics process necessary for the functioning of the distribution system. More than 95% of pharmaceutical products require transport and storage under conditions with active temperature regulation. Given the representation of the type of transport used by companies, the first place with a high 95-100% is transport by road, and the most common vehicle of transport is a truck with active temperature regulation. In the case of pharmaceutical products, it is important to have temperature monitoring throughout the entire duration of transport, whether by road, sea or air. The price of transport with active temperature control is on average 30-40% more expensive than transport without temperature control. In the pharmaceutical industry, there are very strict controls on the distribution process at every step of the distribution chain. There is a great responsibility on the manufacturers of pharmaceutical products - pharmaceutical companies, as they are responsible for the product reaching the final consumer with the same quality, safety and effectiveness as when it was approved by them for placing on the market, therefore pharmaceutical companies conduct regular audits of contracting third parties responsible for transport at any step of the distribution chain.
