Critical Points Regarding Secure Aggregation
Secure Aggregation
Aggregation compliance deadlines for DSCSA (Drug Supply Chain and Security Act) shall take effect soon (from 2019 to 2023).
Stakeholders will rely on high integrity aggregation data to infer with certainty.
Packagers will need a secure packing process to achieve high integrity data.
The most secure process is to create a pack first, then inspect its contents.
Packagers who 'Pack First' will save money and reduce risk.
Automatic equipment is a costly and often unnecessary option.
Manual case packing is possible without compromising data integrity.
Semi-auto options can add an excellent, cost-effective speed boost.
Cost of Low Integrity Data
Aggregation solutions dependent on operator behavior and company procedures to maintain data integrity will ultimately lead to costly consequences:
recalling product
repacking an entire lot
falling behind schedule
paying hefty fees or fines
frustrating supply chain partners
battling with workers over procedure
