Case Study: Supply Chain Risks in the Pharmaceutical Industry in a Developing Country.

you are a supply chain executive of this organisation. Your organisation is linked to various local and international partners through several formal agreements and strategic alliances. You have been requested to prepare a presentation for an international meeting of associated supply chain executives on the following topic: An assessment of supply chain risks: current trends and impact on focal organisation It is expected that you will anchor your presentation on the additional perspective of the susceptible developing world or emerging market context. You will give the initial presentation that will be followed by an open discussion. An initial requirement is that you must prepare an 18-page management report on the matter. This excludes annexures and the initial pages. The material covered in this report should be sufficient to prepare you for both the presentation and the subsequent discussions. Purpose of assignment The purpose of this assignment is to look at a specific industry sector and analyse the supply chain risks. It is, therefore, necessary to understand both the industry and the many forms of risk associated with the supply chain. These include short term risks and global risks to the supply network. The risk management plans you compile, therefore, must deal with the immediate risk as well as with the longer term and systemic risks. It is important to use the forms of analysis and tools that are relevant to this field of study.
