Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals
Innovating your processes for chemical and pharmaceutical excellence
Major deals and ever larger mergers and acquisitions leave no doubt that the chemical and pharmaceutical industries are in a period of transition as the global consolidation process steadily advances. Shorter product life cycles, longer innovation cycles with huge expenditures on research & development, marketing and sales; ever tougher security, environmental and healthcare regulations; rising raw material prices and declining growth forecasts - all of these factors culminate in a level of competitive, cost and price pressure that the industry has never seen before. Many traditional conglomerates are therefore spinning off one segment to focus on either chemicals or pharmaceuticals. At the same time, they are looking for new partners in order to minimize their costs for development, production, marketing and sales while optimizing their productivity.

Complete control of pharmaceuticals through serialization for e-pedigree
The pharmaceutical industry is facing new challenges. Pricing pressures have risen due to changes in healthcare systems and mounting development costs. Through globalization the need for more product safety andbrand protection is increasing. Defense against counterfeiting plays a major role here. Also, legal requirements for production and distribution of pharmaceutical products are tightening. Moreover, development cycles are growing shorter and the need arises to include so-called lifestyle products into product portfolios. This leads to an increasing number of product developments.
Siemens as one of the world's largest tracking and tracing product suppliers offers pharma-ceutical enterprises a unique answer to the current market trends and legal impacts: E-pedigree - this makes pharmaceutical products visible and traceable on their way along the value chain through volume serialization and so ensures their continuing safety - especially against counterfeiting.
Value creation - networked, lean and dynamic
The increasing level of networking makes building and managing the value chain ever more complex. At the same time, chemical and pharmaceutical companies must develop and implement new value creation strategies in ever shorter intervals. Harmonized IT-supported workflows can handle these new requirements and provide breathing room for further improvements.
Siemens IT Solutions and Services helps companies in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to take advantage of this potential. We increase your productivity by enabling you to improve your core and support processes across the whole gamut ranging from procurement and manufacturing to distribution.
