In order to meet National and International medicines demand, both small and large pharmaceutical companies need to use multiple suppliers. It takes significant effort to coordinate these separate companies and create an integrated plan that safely ensures patients get the medicines they need. Any changes to the plan take time and effort to manage and this creates waste.To add to the complexity, in order to sign off a batch of medicines, a Qualified Person ( QP, the person who assures patient safety for a given company) must see all of this data in order legally to release the medicines into the supply chain. The challenge of assembling this data can add delay.As the requirements of patients change, with an older population along with other constraints such as increasing complexity of medicines, more of the supply chain will migrate towards mixed-company models, putting stress on pricing and the ability of companies to deliver on their promises. The industry can't just 'throw more people at it' forever to solve the problem.Data science can enable people to streamline the movement of information and look at these problems differently. Once the passage of data has been solved it will even be possible to migrate some of the decisions to electronic systems by using Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. This would allow QPs to focus on important questions. SmartPSC aims to apply these technologies to reduce waste, increase speed and improve access to medicines.Creating a template by which this can robustly be done will be complex, as it will mean connecting ways of working and systems that have not standardly been connected as well as overcoming data security challenges.This project aims to create the foundation for delivering this integrated supply chain vision by leveraging expertise and capabilities across a group of small and large companies within the UK pharma supply chain (SC) to deliver two work packages:1\. Designing and implementing a way to get everyone to share their information in a quickly usable format, so it can move seamlessly and securely between companies so that we can build a real-time multi-company view of the supply chain.2\. Link data from multiple companies so a QP can quickly and safely make decisions.By delivering on this scope, we will be able to template future supply chains.

为了满足国内和国际药品的需求，小型和大型制药公司都需要使用多个供应商。需要付出巨大的努力来协调这些独立的公司，并创建一个综合计划，以确保患者安全地获得他们需要的药物。计划的任何更改都需要时间和精力来管理，这会造成浪费。更复杂的是，为了签署一批药品，合格的人(QP，为给定公司确保患者安全的人)必须查看所有这些数据，以便合法地将药品发放到供应链中。收集这些数据的挑战可能会增加延迟。随着患者需求的变化，随着人口老龄化以及药品日益复杂等其他限制，供应链的更多部分将转向混合公司模式，这将给定价和公司兑现承诺的能力带来压力。该行业不能只是让更多的人永远投入其中来解决问题。数据科学可以让人们简化信息的流动，并以不同的方式看待这些问题。一旦解决了数据传递问题，甚至可以通过使用机器学习(ML)和人工智能(AI)解决方案将一些决策迁移到电子系统中。这将使QPS能够专注于重要的问题。SmartPSC的目标是应用这些技术来减少浪费、提高速度和改善获得药物的机会。创建一个模板来实现这一点将是复杂的，因为它将意味着连接尚未标准连接的工作方式和系统以及克服数据安全挑战。该项目旨在通过利用英国制药供应链(SC)内的一组小公司和大公司的专业知识和能力来交付两个工作包，为交付这种集成的供应链愿景奠定基础。设计和实施一种方法，让每个人都能以一种快速可用的格式共享他们的信息，这样信息就可以在公司之间无缝安全地传输，这样我们就可以构建供应链的实时多公司视图。2\。连接来自多个公司的数据，以便QP可以快速、安全地做出决策。通过在此范围内交付，我们将能够为未来的供应链提供模板。
