Logistics, as Intervention to Secure the Supply of Medicines to Healthcare Facilities by Pharmacies and other Drug Manufacturers and Suppliers

Abstract

Globalization, expanded product portfolios due to acquisitions and new requirements for products and services have dramatically changed the supply chains in the pharmaceutical industry in general, but also pharmacies in particular, in recent years. In addition, digitalization opens up new opportunities, but poses major challenges for the logistics of required medicines. Hygiene standards, avoidance of supply bottlenecks and rapid supply must be guaranteed, especially in healthcare facilities such as hospitals, retirement homes and nursing homes. Especially in these facilities, a supply of appropriate medication is often vital for survival.
