Supply Chain
Vaccine Supply Chain
The vaccine supply chain is shaped by three structural constraints that most manufacturing industries never encounter: cold chain integrity requires unbroken refrigeration from manufacturing to injection — with some products requiring ultra-cold storage at -70°C, biological manufacturing variability means vaccines are grown in living systems where yields fluctuate batch to batch and cannot be precisely controlled, and regulatory lot release requires every batch to be independently tested and approved before distribution — a process that takes weeks and cannot be skipped or parallelized.
Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
The pharmaceutical supply chain is shaped by three structural constraints that most industries never face: molecules must survive a decade of regulatory validation before generating revenue, manufacturing processes must be qualified to atomic-level consistency, and the commercial window is fixed by patent expiry before the first pill is sold.
