Risks management in the downstream pharmaceutical supply chain: A study on the teaching hospital Habib Bourguiba Sfax

Abstract

With the increasing emphasis on supply chain vulnerability, managing risks in supply chains has emerged as an important topic in supply chain management. In this context, analyzing and understanding an appropriate supply chain risks management are now attracting much attention. This paper presents a simulation method of supply chain risks management. The study begins by identifying and assessing the risks in the supply chain by a Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) technique and proposes a simulation method to analyze the proposed scenarios according to risks exposure levels. The proposed methodology is illustrated by a real case study in the drugstore of the teaching hospital Habib Bourguiba Sfax.
