Abstract

It is very known that the availability of drugs is the major problem faced by patients. Therefore, this article deals with the optimization of a pharmaceutical supply chain, i.e. we need to reorganize the entire current pharmaceutical network with a main objective of no patient suffers as long as the medicine exists somewhere. Achieving this requires a strategic organization of the geographic network in order to gain a better distribution.
