Supply Chain Management (SCM): AbbVie (Biopharmaceutical Company). “The challenge for hospitals is to align the supply chain to the care delivery model.” Working as part of a team, this report will involve research on a unique topic within healthcare SCM:

• A specific topic of healthcare supply chains that is rather novel and disruptive; • A driver of supply chain performance in healthcare organizations; • Research into a preeminent company that support logistic functions within healthcare supply chains, the job they perform and how their role has evolved and is predicted to evolve; You can start by establishing a broad research question such as: a. What are effective ways to reduce supply chain costs based on new technologies? b. What are the benefits and outlays using a group purchasing organization (GPO)? How can it be implemented? c. How do healthcare organizations manage risk in the supply chain? What are relevant forms of risk? Then drill down on a disruptive element, a specific company example, or a driver of performance.
