Possible Challenges and Barriers When Establishing a Supply Chain Control Tower

Supply chain control towers (SCCTs) represent a paradigm shift in pharmaceutical supply chain management, offering unprecedented visibility, real-time monitoring, and data-driven decision-making capabilities. However, establishing these digitally-enabled platforms presents multifaceted challenges spanning technological, organizational, operational, and regulatory dimensions. This chapter systematically examines the barriers encountered during SCCT implementation in pharmaceutical supply chains, including technology integration complexities, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, data governance issues, organizational resistance, collaboration difficulties, and regulatory compliance requirements. Through comprehensive analysis of recent literature and industry practices, this study identifies critical success factors and provides strategic recommendations for overcoming implementation obstacles.
