In the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry, supply chain efficiency is directly related to the speed of implementation of diagnostic technology and the responsiveness of services. When the delivery time of IVD raw materials is compressed from the traditional 3 months to 3 weeks, it is not only a test of supply chain capabilities, but also a choice for the industry to respond to rapid market changes and meet urgent needs. This kind of acceleration is not simply a process compression, but requires systematic restructuring from the core links of the supply chain to create a modern supply system that combines speed and resilience.

This kind of acceleration is not simply a process compression, but requires systematic restructuring from the core links of the supply chain to create a modern supply system that combines speed and resilience.

1、 Demand forecasting, advance production layout

The demand for IVD raw materials is influenced by various factors, including disease trends, changes in clinical diagnostic needs, and the introduction of new detection technologies. The traditional prediction methods relying on experience and historical data are no longer sufficient to meet the rapidly changing market demands. Therefore, leveraging big data analysis and artificial intelligence technology has become an inevitable choice. In addition to technical means, it is also crucial to strengthen information sharing with downstream IVD reagent production enterprises. Establish a normalized communication mechanism, regularly hold supply and demand docking meetings, and inform raw material suppliers in advance of product research and development plans, market promotion strategies, and estimated order quantities. This enables raw material suppliers to plan production resources reasonably based on this first-hand information, reserve key raw materials in advance, ensure that production plans closely match market demand, and reduce production delays caused by information asymmetry.

2、 Optimize supplier network to ensure stable supply

Suppliers are the source of the IVD raw material supply chain, and their response speed and supply capacity directly determine the delivery cycle. Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of suppliers, no longer focusing solely on price factors, but taking into account their production capacity, quality control level, timely delivery, research and development innovation capabilities, and resilience to unexpected events. Establish a supplier grading management system, first establish long-term strategic partnerships with reliable core suppliers, enhance cooperation stickiness through signing long-term contracts, providing technical support, joint research and development, etc., and ensure stable supply of key raw materials. To reduce the risk brought by a single supplier, implement a multi-source procurement strategy. For important raw materials, select at least two suppliers with equal production capacity and quality level, and flexibly allocate purchase orders based on market conditions and supplier performance.

3、 Lean production management enhances manufacturing efficiency

The production process of IVD raw materials is complex, involving multiple processes and strict quality control measures. Introduce the concept of lean production, comprehensively streamline and optimize the production process, remove unnecessary operational steps and waiting time, and achieve seamless integration of the production process. Adopting advanced production technology and equipment, such as automated production lines, intelligent warehouse management systems, etc., to improve production efficiency and product quality stability. Automated production lines can significantly reduce errors and time losses caused by manual operations, achieve 24-hour continuous production, and significantly improve production capacity; The intelligent warehouse management system utilizes IoT technology to monitor inventory status in real time, quickly complete raw material inbound and outbound operations, and avoid production delays caused by material search and handling.
