It developed a system and methodology for measuring the price, availability and affordability of medicines. The project surveyed over 50 countries. It also created guidance for low-and-middle-income countries to help their governments and associated health organisations to implement policies on drug prices. [1]
An industry value-chain is a physical representation of the various processes involved in producing goods (and services), starting with raw materials and ending with the delivered product (also known as the supply chain). It is based on the notion of value-added at the link (read: stage of production) level.
[2] [3] A more narrow definition of supply chain management is the "design, planning, execution, control, and monitoring of supply chain activities with the objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure, leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronising supply with demand and measuring performance globally".
Value-based health care (VBHC) is a framework for restructuring health care systems with the overarching goal of value for patients, with value defined as health outcomes per unit of costs. [1] The concept was introduced in 2006 by Michael Porter and Elizabeth Olmsted Teisberg , though implementation efforts on aspects of value-based care began ...
Value-stream mapping has supporting methods that are often used in lean environments to analyze and design flows at the system level (across multiple processes).. Although value-stream mapping is often associated with manufacturing, it is also used in logistics, supply chain, service related industries, healthcare, [5] [6] software development, [7] [8] product development, [9] project ...
Example of supply chain Some additional descriptions for the supply chain. SCOR improves on this by offering a "standard" solution. The first step is to recover the Level 1 and Level 2 process descriptions. Caption from SCOR 8.0 Completed mappings of the supply chain processes with SCOR SCOR thread diagram. The example is of a simple supply chain.
an "extended" supply chain includes suppliers of the immediate supplier and customers of the immediate customer; an "ultimate" supply chain includes all of the organizations involved in the supply of the product or service. In each case, the flow of information and finances is part of the chain as well as the product or service. [10]
Supply-chain management (SCM) has become increasingly relevant in theory and practice in light of more-complex supply chains. The SCM performs extensive operational tasks, including supply-chain controlling. Seuring [1] transfers the three main concepts of German supply chain-controlling literature into the specific demands of SCM:
