| When the U.S. healthcare supply chain experiences panic buying, within the first four or five days, supply is wiped out faster than anyone can imagine. The moment the market signals a shortage, purchases increase tenfold the number of products relative to real demand. The only thing that stops the panic buy is how quickly a manufacturer recognizes the run on the supply chain and moves into allocation mode. However, even under allocation, there’s still no mechanism to understand real demand. |
