의료 제품 공급망 변화에 대한 사례 연구:미국 의료 제품 공급망 중심 사례연구

초록

The healthcare industry is a single largest industry in the United States. In spite of this, it is growing rapidly and is arguably the hottest area of business. However, the present organization of the healthcare supply chain is in some ways less developed than one would expect, compared against the Hi-Tech industry. In this paper, we focus on the supplier, distributor and customer in the supply chain of healthcare products. The market for healthcare product is currently highly-fragmented with many disparate suppliers and distributors offering a wide variety of products and services. So, we map out a generic supply chain for the healthcare industry, survey some of the players, and see which players are getting on the more dominant track. Finally, we conclude with a discussion on the possible future evolution of players in the supply chain of healthcare product.
