PROJECT GOALTo examine the impact of the introduction of Fee-for-Service and Inventory-Management-Agreements (FFS/IMAs) on pharmaceutical-distributor inventories and pharmaceutical –manufacturer inventories. This change: Obligated distributors to hold much less
inventory Provided “downstream” information to
manufacturers

Manufacturers:
Providers: Clinics, hospitals, groups of hospitals, or Integrated Delivery Networks
Distributors: Also called “wholesalers”. Nearly 80% of all prescription drug volume flows through distributors.
Group purchasing organizations (GPOs): They negotiate prices that its “provider-members” pay for the manufacturers’ products purchased “on contract”.

Characteristics of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
International in scope In the U.S., the 10 largest pharmaceutical
manufacturers account for approximately 60% of sales
Brand-name manufacturers experience high profit margins Ex: Between 1995 and 2008 the top-5
manufacturers had an aggregate profit margin of 18.5%
![Page 7: Www.purdue.edu/rche The Unexpected Impact of Information-Sharing on US Pharmaceutical Supply Chains Leroy B. Schwarz and Hui Zhao Krannert School of Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cfa5503460f949cc7c3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
www.purdue.edu/rche
Characteristics of the Pharmaceutical Distribution
Highly consolidated Top three pharmaceutical distributors take
over 90% market share. Very slim profit margins Virtually no profit from downstream
Margin has to come from upstream; i.e., from pharmaceutical manufacturers

The “investment-buying” model
Secondary market Major Source of Margin: Manufacturer Price
Increases Issues: Volatility, Financial Risk, Secondary
Market, Lack of Transparency and no information sharing
![Page 10: Www.purdue.edu/rche The Unexpected Impact of Information-Sharing on US Pharmaceutical Supply Chains Leroy B. Schwarz and Hui Zhao Krannert School of Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cfa5503460f949cc7c3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
www.purdue.edu/rche
Shift in Business Models The end of investment buying
Catalyzed from a SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) investigation of BMS for channel stuffing.
Settlement with SEC to announce BMS’ limiting future sales based on demand
Many manufacturers followed The business model of healthcare distributors was
transformed during 2002/2003 “Investment buying” model (before 2002) “Fee-for-service” model (after 2003)
![Page 11: Www.purdue.edu/rche The Unexpected Impact of Information-Sharing on US Pharmaceutical Supply Chains Leroy B. Schwarz and Hui Zhao Krannert School of Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cfa5503460f949cc7c3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
www.purdue.edu/rche
The Fee-for-Service Model
Major Source of Margin: Distribution and Information Services Provided by Distributor to Manufacturers
More Downstream Visibility for Manufacturer
![Page 12: Www.purdue.edu/rche The Unexpected Impact of Information-Sharing on US Pharmaceutical Supply Chains Leroy B. Schwarz and Hui Zhao Krannert School of Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cfa5503460f949cc7c3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
www.purdue.edu/rche
The Fee-for-Service Model (Cont.)
Days of on-hand inventory (DOH): Inventory targets (i.e., days of supply) with corresponding fees charged to the manufacturer. The lower the distributor’s inventory, the higher the fee it collects from the manufacturer.
Service-level targets: There are usually a few levels of these targets with corresponding fees. Generally, manufacturers are charged higher fees for higher service-level compliance.
Fees for Data Provided. Four major pieces of information provided to the manufacturers.

www.purdue.edu/rche
Data Provided by FFS/IMAs
Inventory (on-hand, on-order, etc.) Sales/shipment data Demand forecast on a rolling basis.
Theoretically, a distributor should charge higher fees for providing a better demand forecast.
Errors in processing charge-backs

OUR FINDINGS FFS/IMAs have had a profound effect on
pharmaceutical-distributor inventory, and it appears that this occurred in two steps First, 2003-2005, in order to operate with
less inventory, distributors were obliged to improve their business processes
Second, 2005-2009, these improved business processes facilitated further reductions in distributor inventory

OUR FINDINGS (CONT.) FFS/IMAs have evidently had no effect on
pharmaceutical manufacturer inventory-management practices In the short run, before manufacturers had the
chance to take advantage of information provided by FFS/IMAs, theory suggests that manufacturer inventories should either increase or decrease, the net effect depending on the magnitude of some opposing influences.
In the long run, once manufacturers have been able to take advantage of information provided by FFS/IMAs, theory would predict a decrease in manufacturer inventories.

www.purdue.edu/rche
Are Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Using the Information for Other Purposes?
Some use it on an aggregate basis to forecast quarterly sales for financial purposes
Some use it to monitor inventories at specific large providers and retail accounts for sales/promotional purposes
![Page 26: Www.purdue.edu/rche The Unexpected Impact of Information-Sharing on US Pharmaceutical Supply Chains Leroy B. Schwarz and Hui Zhao Krannert School of Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649cfa5503460f949cc7c3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
www.purdue.edu/rche
Why Aren’t Manufacturers Using Information to Reduce Own Inventories?
Manufacturing supply chains are long and complex Often long processing time at each step International manufacturing network Large fixed batch sizes
Lack of knowledge about how to use
Not on their priority list

IN SUMMARY
• There are many reasons why manufacturers are not using this information to reduce inventories and increase inventory turnover.
• But, we believe that manufacturers either don’t understand the potential of downstream information to reduce inventories, or that they don’t care

This work examines the introduction of information-sharing into the supply chains for pharmaceutical products in the United States.
This introduction was unusual for several reasons. First, it was catalyzed from outside the industry, by SEC
investigation into improper financial reporting by a single manufacturer.
Second, it was initiated by pharmaceutical manufacturers in order to keep distributor inventories low.
Third, although its effect on pharmaceutical distributors has been profound, evidence indicates that information-sharing has had little impact on manufacturers' own inventory-management practices.
Conclusion

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPLY CHAIN RESEARCHERS Healthcare-product supply chains seem to be
unfamiliar to many supply chains researchers. The manufacturing supply chains are very
complex lots of opportunities for learning and research
Lots of opportunities for research on the distribution side, too Supply-chain design How should information provided by IMAs be
used?
