Key Challenges We Address
Meeting MDR traceability demands across supplier tiers
- The EU MDR phases out legacy device certificates by 31 December 2027 or 2028, by risk class, tightening evidence, UDI and supplier-document control.
- YCP connects regulatory, quality and supply-chain teams to map documentation gaps, prioritize remediation and build traceability processes across suppliers.
Keeping device flows reliable through volatile trade lanes
- Rotterdam handled 435.8 million tonnes of cargo in 2024, yet Red Sea diversions and freight volatility can still delay imported components and finished devices.
- By mapping critical lanes, dual-source options and inventory exposure, YCP helps leaders set practical buffers and continuity playbooks without overstocking.
Closing the talent gap in quality, planning and operations
- At the end of 2024, the Netherlands had 401,000 vacancies, intensifying competition for experienced quality, planning, warehousing and regulatory talent.
- Operating-model design, demand planning and targeted digital workflows enable YCP to raise productivity, clarify roles and reduce reliance on scarce specialists.
Making packaging and sourcing circular without disrupting care
- The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation entered into force in February 2025 and starts applying from August 2026, increasing packaging-data and redesign needs.
- Portfolio-level packaging reviews, supplier engagement and cost modelling help YCP identify compliant circular options while protecting sterility and service levels.
