As the world grapples with a two-year pandemic, escalating protectionism, the Ukraine war, the wage inflation takes a toll on the global economy and supply chains: increased energy and raw material costs; devastated regional industry; raised cyberattack fears; and increased operational complexity as companies navigate new sanctions and heightened scrutiny of existing business relationships. In this session we discuss:

Craig Alan Repec is GS1’s subject matter expert for event-based visibility standards such as EPCIS and its companion standard, the Core Business Vocabulary (CBV), as well as the EPC “Gen2” UHF RFID protocol, and Editor of GS1’s EPC Tag Data Standard (TDS). Prior to joining GS1 Global Office in 2011, Craig had similar responsibilities at GS1 Germany, supporting implementations of EPCIS and EPC/RFID, while at the same time actively shaping the ongoing development of these open supply chain standards. Craig is a member of both the GS1 AIDC and GS1 Healthcare teams, and his experience is rounded out by work in software and consulting companies in the United States and Germany over the past twenty years.
Being a mathematician and chemical engineer by profession Stefan is involved in pharmaceutical serialization since its early days in 2008 and renowned as one of the fathers of the European ‘Point-of-Dispense Verification’ model that ensures patients’ access to safe medicines.
For more than seven years Stefan worked as a delegate consultant for the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) where he contributed to the successful verification pilot in Sweden in 2009 / 2010 and played a key role in the design and development of the European Medicines Verification System (EMVS) that constitutes a key component in the implementation of the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD).
Once having returned from Brussels Stefan led Bayer’s activities to implement the Brazilian Track&Trace requirements in 2014 and 2015 before his focus shifted back to the roots as the responsible program manager for the timely FMD readiness of Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals and Consumer Health divisions by February 2019. Currently, he manages Bayer’s rollout of Track&Trace for Brazil that was restarted by ANVISA in 2020.
Beyond his project assignments Stefan Artlich engages on a strategic level for supply chain improvements ensuring patients’ safety and uninterrupted access to medicines. As an example, he serves since 2016 as an elected member of the GS1 Healthcare Leadership Team that steers GS1 Healthcare’s activities for the integration of GS1 standards into the supply chain processes of the healthcare sector in order to drive patient safety and supply chain efficiency improvements not only in the private but as well in the public sector.
