Item Análisis de la cadena de suministro de las industrias farmacéuticas bajo un esquema de simulación de operaciones(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Cundumi Jori, Cesar Augusto; Morales Carmona, Carlos Andrés; Arias Segura, Brayan Stiven; Masso Alzate, John Alexander (Director)The pharmaceutical industry has been characterized as one of the largest in the world and, therefore, one of the most complex. The supply chains of this sector are made up of different actors such as laboratories, distributors, health centers, pharmacies, and end consumers. Performing a global production analysis, for example, by executing a mathematical operation to understand the behavior of the different links that make up the chain, is a complex and time-consuming task. Simulation is therefore the appropriate tool to analyse the current and future behavior of processes that contemplate many inputs and operations. Through different case studies, it became evident that simulation not only yields results on the chain's main problems, such as bottlenecks, excess of resources used or dead times, but also shows the importance of the interconnection between the different actors for the satisfactory achievement of the objectives; as well as the need to understand the governmental policies of each country, the organizational culture, the implementation of a common technological platform and the treatment of information.
