    The aim of this work is to create a simulation model of a manufacturing system operating within the supply chain by system dynamics approach heeding dynamics of system-company and factors that may affect performance, so that management can have a useful tool for decision support. The results have shown interesting correlations between management choices and the system outputs

    Today we depend more and more on logistic networks, which often know nothing, or worse, on which our power of control is almost zero. It is impossible to imagine a life without certain types of products or food, all of that to get us often follow long and complex network and therefore vulnerable. Let see how increase in energy costs has engulfed many small companies. Differently by rising energy costs, there are also changes that are not so easily predictable, so it is essential for the survival of a company to have “redundant” resources, able to operate strategies and proactive behavior. It’s important to be flexible and adapt better to the changes that are imposed by external or even internal conditions. More than on flexibility, it is necessary to focus on the concept of Resilience, which requires the ability to remain calm, to address a crisis, but maybe leave it weakened but with the strength, the ability and the confidence to create a tomorrow of own business, adapting to change

    The globalization has pushed to change the organization of every companies, even the hospitals. The principal phenomenon in that period and fundamental today again, has been the Supply Chain Management (SCM), with which the company is no longer seen as an isolated entity but active part in an extremely complex supply network. In fact, the only way to guarantee the competitiveness of businesses in the new world economy is through the cooperation and the integration between customers and suppliers. The present work analyses the drugs flow of three Italian hospital: the Cardarelli Hospital in Campobasso, the Veneziale located in Isernia and the San Timoteo site in Termoli. The data was provided by MOLISE DATA SPA that collected the information from all ASREM with particular interest in the already mentioned hospitals. Particularly, will be highlight, using simulation model, the benefits deriving from the implementation of a new Supply Chain, creating a collaboration along the entire logistics production chain. Thanks to a more efficient management of drugs will get a reduction of business costs and an improvement of the health services offered
