Monitoring the necessary temperature throughout a drug’s total life cycle has become critical to the movement of pharmaceuticals, especially clinical trial products.
Regulatory policies worldwide increasingly require manufacturers to produce complete audit trails recording where a drug was made, with what ingredients, where it was stored and for how long, and where, when and how it was delivered.
It has taken a ‘ten-pound Pom’ more than two years to get the express freight and logistics group back into profit.
Roger Corcoran has a way with words. Not that he speaks much – at least not publicly. Since taking the reins at the express freight and logistics group TNT Australia in September 2001, media engagements have been few and far between. But now, with TNT’s local operations finally in the black for the 12 months to December 31, 2003, it is time to talk. Corcoran wants to set the record straight. It is not all backslapping. Not at all. He seizes the opportunity to reflect on the past. Those deeply flawed strategies that took TNT to the brink a few years ago – and, make no mistake, TNT was another Ansett in the making when Corcoran was appointed managing director – are openly acknowledged and painfully dissected before he tackles the present and future. Indeed, in one sense, discussing the past almost seems a cathartic experience for Corcoran.
