Problem Intro:
Cold-Chain in health care is defined as a temperature control supply chain involving a system of transporting and storing vaccines and drugs. It consists of three major components: transport and storage equipment, training personnel, and efficient management procedures. The majority of the vaccine in the cold chain is typically maintained at a temperature of 2-8°C. Maintaining cold chain integrity is extremely important for healthcare product manufacturers.
Especially for the vaccines, improper storage, and handling practices that compromise vaccine viability prove a costly, time-consuming affair. Vaccines must be stored properly from manufacture until they are available for use. Any extreme temperatures of heat or cold will reduce vaccines potency; such vaccines, if administered, might not yield effective results or could cause adverse effects.

The result? No other airline in the industry's history has enjoyed the customer loyalty and extended profitability for which Southwest is now famous. The company now flies more than 3,400 times each day to over 64 destinations across the United States There's more to the story, however, than making promises and hoping to fulfill them. A large part of Southwest Airlines' success lies in its ability to plan long-term capacity to better match demand, as also improving the utilization of its fleet by turning around an aircraft at the gate faster than its competitors. Capacity at Southwest is measured in seat miles, and even a single minute reduction in aircraft turnaround time system wide means…arrow_forward
- Prybloxx primarily uses one courier company, AJAX Couriers, for all their deliveries. In some circumstances, where AJAX is too busy and does not have capacity to fulfil deliveries or they do not cover certain areas, only then will Prybloxx make use of a different courier company. Prybloxx has recently had a significant influx of customer complaints regarding goods that have not been delivered, delivered long after the agreed delivery time or damaged once they arrive at the customer. Prybloxx is aware of the effect that this could have on demand for their product, customer goodwill and are now investigating insourcing the delivery of their product to customers. Prybloxx has noted that they have two alternatives in insourcing this department – they can either purchase a local courier company that is considered a going concern or they can purchase all of the required assets and set up such a department themselves.
