YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Import Dependence Raises Exposure to Supply Disruptions
- More than 80% of medical devices used locally are imported, exposing providers and distributors to FX swings, longer lead times and global shortages.
- End-to-end sourcing assessments help YCP identify supply risks, model inventory scenarios and prioritize supplier options that protect availability and cash flow.
Archipelagic Delivery Networks Strain Service Reliability
- Serving over 7,600 islands requires sea and air handoffs; weather disruption, uneven cold-chain capacity and high last-mile costs can weaken delivery performance.
- Network modelling and route-level cost analysis enable YCP to redesign distribution footprints, service tiers and replenishment rules for reliable nationwide reach.
Regulatory Requirements Can Slow Market Availability
- Medical devices need appropriate FDA authorization and licensed establishments before sale, while evolving documentation and post-market duties can delay launches.
- A practical regulatory operating model allows YCP to align teams, workflows and data requirements, reducing avoidable delays in registration and supply continuity.
Fragmented Purchasing Limits Demand and Inventory Visibility
- Healthcare purchasing spans national agencies, private providers and over 1,400 municipalities, making demand forecasting and inventory allocation difficult to coordinate.
- Through spend analytics and demand planning, YCP helps organizations create clearer purchasing visibility, optimize stock levels and strengthen supplier negotiations.
