How to state the scope

Answer:
If you are starting your ISO 9001:2015 QMS implementation project I would choose one or two potential certification bodies and ask them their opinion about a scope statement for that particular case. It can be about pharmaceuticals distribution for certain specialties, for certain geographical markets, and for those 5 hubs listed in the certificate.
