Begin with product requirements
A flexible supply chain starts with the actual product: approved labelling, handling instructions, storage conditions and traceability needs. Assess those needs before choosing a facility. This article does not imply that AEGIS APAC owns a warehouse or provides verified specialised storage infrastructure.
Keep permissions and operations connected
The local operating model must account for regulatory authorisations as well as physical logistics. HSA and MDA publish requirements for the establishments carrying out relevant supply activities. We recommend mapping the importer, distributor, warehouse operator and complaint contact, with explicit handoffs between them.
Validate a provider before committing
As due-diligence recommendations, review the provider’s relevant authorisations, quality processes, capacity, returns handling and any claimed certifications. Verify certifications against the specific facility and scope. Agree service levels only after the actual capability and product fit have been established.
