Very few works have considered the supply chain dimension, even though organisation of organ transportation critical to success transplants given extremely tight time constraint guarantee correct state organ. The authors examine logistical systems associated with transplantation, distinguishing between two service processes: push flow model, implemented context transplants‚ and pull coercive transplants. While this dual perspective has never been analysed until now, research note highlights a theorical gap which could be answered future research.
