13. Fast-Moving Consumer Goods
Key Takeaways
The high-volume, low-margin fast-moving
consumer goods manufacturer must become more
demand-driven to serve a less loyal, more cautious
post-recession shopper
Shippers are involving 3PLs less often in cost-reduction
strategies than one might expect
The role 3PLs can play in helping shippers shall focus in
the future more on
• Shortening new product time-to-market and
• Ensuring perfect order fulfillment

15. 62% of Life Sciences shippers cite ensuring product
quality as a significant challenge
Imperatives Related Data Points
Visibility is the top service Life Sciences companies need from 3PLs
Product Visibility Driving the need for serialization and e-pedigree
50% agree good business case for RFID in Life Sciences
Quality, compliance, and More than 30 different Life Sciences GDP interpretations globally
risk 70% of shippers say that compliance is their top challenge
73% of shippers say quality, compliance and risk mitigation are
Balancing quality and price significantly more important than price
Just 49% of 3PLs agree that customers prioritize these over price
Inventory control not just accurate quantity but quarantine
Inventory and temperature
More than 60% of shippers list temperature control as an important
control 3PL capability
High dollar value and treatment value make drugs tempting targets
Security Counterfeit drugs and drug diversion have doubled over past five to
size years

16. Life Sciences
Key Takeaways
Challenges lie in three major areas: Product
integrity, customer service requirements, and
inherently complex ecosystem
Cost is important but outweighed by quality,
compliance and risk mitigation
Visibility is the top service need among life
sciences shippers
3PLs can play a role in serving individual
customers and also in linking parties together

18. Unforeseen costs can quickly increase the total delivered
costs of a shipment
Total landed cost: the sum of all costs associated with making and delivering
products to the point where they produce revenue

Price Components China Vietnam EU
Net purchasing price for a specific volume of the 10,000 8,000 12,000

20. Total landed cost
Key takeaways
Understanding total landed cost helps companies make
better supply chain decisions
While many shippers claim extensive use of TLC, others
are hampered by lack of data and tools
Today’s lesser used factors, including risk factors,
transfer pricing and tax, and carbon costs, are of
increasing interest
3PLs report a lack of customer interest and customer
data for providing TLC capabilities
