Why pharma should spend an hour or two on 到岸总成本

When shipping vaccines or any other temperature-sensitive medical solution, pharmaceutical companies look for partners that ensure high quality, that can simplify the handling process, and help to reduce CO2 emissions. While active temperature-controlled solutions meet all those requirements, the general perception is that they are more expensive. That perception sometimes makes pharmaceutical companies choose other, seemingly less costly alternatives, commonly known as passive solutions, not realizing that they are in essence, paying more for an inferior solution.

制药公司使用大型可以赌足球的app RAP e2活性温控集装箱的主要原因是,他们希望最大限度地提高运输的安全性. The RAP e2 container has an active electric cooling and heating system, 这意味着它可以在容器内保持恒定的温度, despite varying outdoor temperatures. 事实上,只要把你的货物插到电源插座上,它就可以无限期地保护你的货物. 添加数据日志, 没有一次性材料, no time for conditioning and assembling of the container, and a track-record of zero product losses.

与被动解决方案相比, 它们实际上只是没有任何形式的主动温度控制的绝缘盒子, 很容易理解为什么活性温控容器被认为是一个更优质的, 昂贵的选择. And if you just compare the costs of the containers, 主动温控容器确实比被动容器更贵.

你所节省的一个更便宜的包装解决方案是不幸的超过抵消了更高的成本空运和辅助成本, not to mention the risk of product loss

但这就像认为箱子的成本和运输成本是一样的. When you calculate the 到岸总成本, it becomes clear that in most cases, 你所节省的一个更便宜的包装解决方案是不幸的超过抵消了更高的成本空运和辅助成本, not to mention the risk of product loss.

总到岸成本是指在比较其他运输方式时包括所有成本

The reason passive shipment solutions are perceived as cheaper, 其根源在于,使用被动箱运输药品的各种成本通常分散在制药公司的许多不同部门, thus making it difficult to see the whole picture, and grasp the actual 到岸总成本. 那么,什么是总登陆成本呢?

总落地成本=包装成本+空运成本+辅助成本+全球十大赌钱软件app损失的概率成本.

空运成本

航空运价是同时使用货运重量和货运体积来计算的. Air cargo space is limited and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, air freight rates as a proportion of 到岸总成本 have increased. 作为一个结果, if you want to ship large volumes of pharmaceuticals, 在飞机货舱中使用尽可能少占用空间的包装方案变得越来越重要.

辅助成本

除了占用更少的空间, an active temperature-controlled container also means much less manual handling, 准备, storage and other auxiliary costs, 这也会帮你省钱吗.

全球十大赌钱软件app损失成本

除了, there is one cost related to logistics that can often be forgotten, 这是在运输过程中不得不报废和更换损坏全球十大赌钱软件app的成本. 不得不废弃损坏的全球十大赌钱软件app是昂贵的,而且涉及制药业务的所有领域——质量, 利润, 物流等. 即使仅仅是怀疑温度偏差就会增加数千美元的成本,以调查是否发生了问题,损坏了药物.

计算总到岸成本不像看价格表那么简单,但如果有可能有更好的质量的运输解决方案, 更高的可靠性, 更少的温度变化, 没有全球十大赌钱软件app损失, no reputational risk and better environmental performance, 同样或者更低的成本——难道不值得花一两个小时来计算你自己的总着陆成本吗?

Getting the numbers right – real life examples

下面是两个例子,说明为什么多花一两个小时是很重要的.

Example 1: Optimizing volume shipped

我们的第一个例子是一家公司,想要运输大量的药品包装在13升的盒子. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and limited air cargo space available, they had to charter their own aircraft. The cost for the charter was well over 1 million USD, so they had to optimize the use of the cargo space.

我们帮助公司计算如何最大限度地提高药品的出货量. Using our RAP e2 active temperature-controlled container, they could fill 432 boxes in each RAP e2, and with 14 RAP e2 containers on the aircraft, 他们总共可以装运6艘,048箱.

With a passive Half PMC solution, 他们可以在每个被动式单元中装入189个盒子,并在飞机上安装28个单元. 在总, 这样他们就能装运5艘船,292箱, 这是, 少14%, than with the active RAP e2 containers. 使用被动式双托盘将运送相同体积的箱子,和更小的PMC(1) solutions would imply 35% less boxes compared to the active RAP e2. 见下图.

Example 2: Optimizing 到岸总成本

Example 1 above shows the difference in volume shipped. In this example, we will take a closer look at the actual costs of shipping. 计算包括运输解决方案的成本和空运成本.

通过使用RAP e2而不是被动解决方案,每年总共节省5.5万欧元

在这个真实的例子中, our client wanted us to calculate the cost of shipping a volume of 200,000箱. As can be seen in the image below, the air freight cost for using a passive pallet (Half PMC) is much higher – €3,875,相比之下,活动温控集装箱的空运成本为2欧元,595,000. The cost of leasing the active RAP e2 container is higher, €2,305,000 compared to the Half PMC of €1,080,000. But in total, the 到岸总成本 per box is €24.8 for the passive Half PMC and €24.活跃RAP e2每盒5个. The savings per box that the company could make by using RAP e2 was thus €0.3. 通过使用RAP e2而不是被动解决方案,每年总共节省5.5万欧元 (calculation based on 200,000箱).

到岸总成本 includes more than air freight cost and shipping solution
空运成本和租赁/购买运输解决方案的成本,但不是完整的总着陆成本. There are numerous other costs involved, 比如装配时间, 准备和包装, cost for disposal of packaging materials, 温度监控器的成本, cost of transportation of the packaging solution to the airport or warehouse, 干冰成本, 制冷剂, 电力等. 这些成本通常较高的被动包装,需要更多的人工处理. The image below shows a summary of auxiliary costs.

总结, to optimize cost efficiency for your company as a whole, you need to calculate the 到岸总成本. It will be time well spent that could save you tens of thousands of USD, as illustrated above – in just a few hours. It can be a complicated exercise if you are unused to it.
