Abstract

The Supply Chain refers to the entire network of entities, resources, activities, and technologies involved in the creation and sale of a product, from the sourcing of starting materials from the supplier to the manufacturer, through to its eventual delivery to the end user.
Just-in-time has been, for a long time, the most successful supply chain model for maximizing efficiency. But, currently, it’s no longer the best.
Especially, today after the pandemic experience companies ask for resilient supply chains to always guarantee their shipments.
Inside this global scenario, in terms of the Supply chain, pharmaceutical companies represent one of the most complex cases, both for the laws and requirements needed and for the characteristics of the goods. Precisely for these reason, the pursuit of its optimization must be a common goal because transforming the pharmaceutical supply chain and adopting sustainable and a reliable approach can help ensure efficient and timely service to patients, reducing inequalities and improving quality of life.
