Minimization of Drug Shortages in Pharmaceutical Supply Chains: A Simulation-Based Analysis of Drug Recall Patterns and Inventory Policies

Table 2

Disruption scenarios.

Scenarios	Definition	Total Recall	Breadth; ()	Time Between	Duration; ()	Intensity ()	Lost	Start Time
A	1% loss of inventory, brief disruption, single continuous disruption	26,200	1	-	12	2,183	1%	50
B	1% loss of inventory, prolonged disruption, single continuous disruption	26,200	1	-	24	1,092	1%	50
C	5% loss of inventory, prolonged disruption, single continuous disruption	131,000	1	-	24	5,458	5%	50
D	1% loss of inventory, two disruptions, short break in events	26,200	2	3	12	1,092	1%	50
E	1% loss of inventory, two disruptions, long break in events	26,200	2	24	12	1,092	1%	50

The unit of measure for time is weeks.
