ABSTRACT
Outsourcing is a trend gaining an increasing appreciation. Drug companies, to increase their competitiveness, become more inclined to entrust logistic operators with their logistics. Performance of the dynamically developing pharmaceutical industry is controlled by restrictive requirements and high standards of provided services. The risk to human life and health, as well as the high value of loads, determine the need to formulate a number of quality requirements concerning the distribution of pharmaceuticals. Business entities providing logistics services for the pharmaceutical industry are obliged to obey the act on Pharmaceutical Law and Good Distribution Practice. Furthermore, they are forced to offer and provide solutions being often different from market standards, whereby their operations are termed as “tailor-made”
