Ensuring that any drug is available to patients at health care centers is a problem that official health care administrators and other stakeholders of supply chains continue to face. Furthermore, managing pharmaceutical supply chains is very complex, as inevitable disruptions occur in these supply chains (exogenous factors), which are then followed by decisions members make after such disruptions (internal factors). Disruptions may occur due to increased demand, a product recall, or a manufacturer disruption, among which product recalls\u2014which happens frequently in pharmaceutical supply chains\u2014are least studied. We employ a mathematical simulation model to examine the effects of product recalls considering different disruption profiles, e.g., the propagation in time and space, and the interactions of decision makers on drug shortages to ascertain how these shortages can be mitigated by changing inventory policy decisions. We also measure the effects of different policy approaches on supply chain disruptions, using two performance measures: inventory levels and shortages of products at health care centers. We then analyze the results using an approach similar to data envelopment analysis to characterize the efficient frontier (best inventory policies) for varying cost ratios of the two performance measures as they correspond to the different disruption patterns. This analysis provides insights into the consequences of choosing an inappropriate inventory policy when disruptions take place.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/6348413","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,2]],"date-time":"2018-12-02T23:33:54Z","timestamp":1543793634000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Minimization of Drug Shortages in Pharmaceutical Supply Chains: A Simulation\u2010Based Analysis of Drug Recall Patterns and Inventory Policies"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9303-1356","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rana","family":"Azghandi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7729-1748","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Griffin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6769-2732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad S.","family":"Jalali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","volume-title":"Drug Shortages Statistics - ASHP","author":"Fox E.","year":"2018"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","article-title":"Shortages of simple drugs thwart treatments","author":"Loftus P.","year":"2017","journal-title":"Wall Street Journal"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","unstructured":"U.
