AB  - As part of the effort to identify, assess and address current barriers to PACs, the PDA administered a global, blinded, cross-functional survey to document industry experience with PACs in the current global regulatory environment, and to better understand the regulatory complexity and burden on the industry. The survey interrogated on specific points related to annual volume of PACs, reasons, time commitments/cycle time, impact of regional differences on change implementation, current use of tools (e.g. PACMPs), impact on supply chain complexity (e.g. inventory, variants to manage, non-compliance to filings, drug shortages), manufacturing innovation, and resources needed.
