Life sciences supply chains are becoming increasingly complex as pharmaceuticals and medical devices converge, temperature-controlled therapies expand, and organizations face growing pressure to deliver treatments more efficiently.

In this episode of Supply Chain Conversations, Dave Malenfant and Scotty Kinn explore the challenges shaping commercial and clinical supply chains across pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device organizations. They discuss global sourcing dependencies, cold-chain logistics, personalized medicine, product traceability, recalls, manufacturing scalability, and the consequences of disconnected data.

The conversation also examines why commercial supply chain leaders must become involved earlier in clinical development—and how failing to plan for manufacturing capacity, packaging, storage, and distribution can delay launches or contribute to drug shortages.

Dave and Scotty also explain what makes outsourcing successful. Whether an organization is working with a CMO, CDMO, 3PL, or talent partner, strong relationships require shared data, transparency, long-term planning, and trust.
