Abstract
The global supply chain for medical devices is crucial for ensuring the availability of essential healthcare products. Still, it faces various risks that can lead to significant disruptions, impacting patient care and financial stability. Effective risk management is critical to address these vulnerabilities and to maintain a reliable supply of medical devices while minimizing economic, environmental, and social impacts. This involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks to keep the supply chain resilient and efficient, balancing immediate operational needs with long-term strategic goals. Challenges such as natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, economic instability, and global health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic highlight the need for robust risk management strategies that can adapt to changing conditions. The thesis of this paper will review existing risk management practices and propose an improved strategy based on case studies, industry reports, and others. The ultimate goal is to develop an effective plan and framework for managing these risks, enhancing supply chain resilience and reliability. The research findings emphasize the necessity of a proactive and adaptive approach to risk management, considering the diverse and global nature of medical device supply chains. Implementing the proposed strategies can significantly reduce vulnerabilities, ensuring a more stable and efficient supply chain for medical devices.
Abstract (croatian)
Globalni lanac opskrbe medicinskim uređajima ključan je za osiguravanje dostupnosti osnovnih zdravstvenih proizvoda. Ipak, suočava se s raznim rizicima koji mogu dovesti do značajnih poremećaja, utječući na skrb o pacijentima i financijsku stabilnost. Učinkovito upravljanje rizicima ključno je za rješavanje ovih ranjivosti i održavanje pouzdane opskrbe medicinskim uređajima uz minimiziranje ekonomskih, okolišnih i društvenih utjecaja. To uključuje identificiranje, procjenu i ublažavanje rizika kako bi se lanac opskrbe održao otpornim i učinkovitim, balansirajući trenutne operativne potrebe s dugoročnim strateškim ciljevima. Izazovi poput prirodnih katastrofa, geopolitičkih napetosti, ekonomske nestabilnosti i globalnih zdravstvenih kriza poput pandemije COVID-19 naglašavaju potrebu za robusnim strategijama upravljanja rizicima koje se mogu prilagoditi promjenjivim uvjetima. Teza ovog rada pregledat će postojeće prakse upravljanja rizicima i predložiti poboljšanu strategiju temeljenu na studijama slučaja, industrijskim izvješćima i drugim izvorima. Krajnji cilj je razviti učinkovit plan i okvir za upravljanje ovim rizicima, poboljšavajući otpornost i pouzdanost lanca opskrbe. Rezultati istraživanja naglašavaju potrebu za proaktivnim i prilagodljivim pristupom upravljanju rizicima, uzimajući u obzir raznolikost i globalnu prirodu lanaca opskrbe medicinskim uređajima. Provedba predloženih strategija može značajno smanjiti ranjivosti, osiguravajući stabilniji i učinkovitiji lanac opskrbe medicinskim uređajima.
