New Challenges to Emergency Management of Pharmaceutical/Healthcare Supply Chain Disruptions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The continuity of operations in pharmaceutical/healthcare supply chains is vital to human welfare and the span and quality-of-life of patients [1]. This is particularly important when the population is confronted with a massive health problem, such as a breakout of a pandemic (e.g., a deleterious mutation of the swine flu H1N1 virus), an industrial accident (e.g., the release of a massive dose of toxic material in a dense urban area), or a terrorist high-consequence event (e.g., a massive explosion, dirty bomb, or the release of a pathogen into the environment). The continuity of operations could also be affected by data security breaches, demand variability and supply fluctuations.
