Pharmaceutical Distributor Cuts Day Of Safety Stock
January 1, 2010
Scattered across Canada from St. Johns, Newfoundland, on the east coast to Vancouver, BC, on the west coast are 14 warehouses for Medis Health & Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., Canada's leading pharmaceutical distributor. Until last year, warehouse tracking of the pharmaceutical and related items it shipped across the nation was primarily a manual chore. However, over an 18-month period, each warehouse is now being converted to an electronic tracking program. By the time all 14 are automated, Medis expects to eliminate a whole day of safety stock.
