The pharmaceutical supply chain is multifaceted, involving multiple stakeholders, including suppliers and distributors. This complexity can lead to challenges like extended lead times and inventory mismanagement. Lean principles, such as Value Stream Mapping, help identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks, allowing for improved coordination among stakeholders. By optimizing procurement processes and enhancing communication, pharmaceutical companies can ensure timely delivery of raw materials and reduce costs.
