Quantifying AI ROI in Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Management

Artificial Intelligence is transforming pharmaceutical supply chains—but one critical question still challenges leaders: how do you actually measure the return on AI investments?

In this episode of Center of Excellence – Pharma 4.0, we dive deep into the reality behind AI ROI in pharmaceutical supply chain management. Moving beyond narrow cost-savings narratives, this conversation explores how leading organizations are quantifying AI value across financial performance, operational efficiency, quality and compliance, and long-term strategic advantage.

You’ll learn why many AI pilots fail to scale, how a small percentage of initiatives generate the majority of value, and what separates high-impact AI deployments from expensive experiments. The episode unpacks real-world outcomes such as reductions in inventory costs, improvements in forecast accuracy and on-time delivery, fewer drug shortages, enhanced regulatory confidence, and faster time-to-market.

We also discuss practical frameworks for building credible ROI measurement—from establishing baselines and selecting the right KPIs to tracking adoption, isolating AI impact, and communicating value to executives and boards. Most importantly, the episode reframes ROI as a strategic capability, not just a finance exercise—one that directly influences patient access, supply reliability, and competitive positioning in Pharma 4.0.

Whether you’re a supply chain leader, digital transformation executive, or AI practitioner in life sciences, this episode offers a clear, actionable perspective on how to measure what truly matters—and how to ensure AI delivers meaningful, scalable business value.
