Pharmaceutical systems are care settings characterized by the wide range of activities and scenarios with which they would be challenged. This causes interactions that result in unexpected scenarios associated with a variety of dangers such as variations in demand, risks associated with supplier relationships, and so on…. As a result, risk management appears to be a major issue for decision-makers. Today supply chain management needs to be dynamic and responsive to create added value, and mitigates these risks by using flexibility strategies to respond to change while remaining competitive. The goal of this research is to look into the supply and demand strategies used by pharmaceutical companies to respond to disruptions and avoid medicine interruptions for consumers. In this thesis the supply chain risk management strategies are basically connected to an empirical study done in 32 Moroccan pharmaceutical enterprises. Following that, the participants’ responses were based on a questionnaire structured through the literature seeks to bring more detailed information about these strategies. Accordingly, the results showed that Moroccan pharmaceutical firms focus on some crucial activities such as supplier selection, flexible control, supplier control, vendor verification, and inventory management to account for supply and demand risk.
Empirical studies in the field of pharmaceutical risk management are rare. Thus, the goal of this work is address the scarcity of empirical studies in this field by outlining several key risk management strategies used by pharmaceutical supply chain laboratories in the context of Morocco which are putting more resources into these vital strategies. Most of the supply and demand techniques of these firms are found to be proactive .
