16:50 PANEL DISCUSSION: Taking An Active Versus Passive Approach To Temperature Control In Different Markets - When Building An Active System And Controlling Door-To-Door Distribution Is Necessary For Market Viability

Active systems provide a strong defense against temperature excursions and protect products through very proactive handling. The draw-backs can be limitations on direct distribution to hard-toaccess destinations. Alternatively, passive systems offer the ability to reach diverse destinations, but might require a much more developed receiving capability at the specific location. This panel will discuss when each system is appropriate and considerations when evaluating market viability:

What characteristics of the destination or market necessitate an active system?
How can internal expertise within a country impact your supply chain approach?
When is controlling door-to-door transportation needed to make sure a product reaches the customer in the right conditions?
