Introduction:
In 2025, medicine shortages are still one of the biggest threats to patient care. But thanks to AI, pharma supply chains are smarter, faster, and more responsive than ever. Here's how AI is solving this critical problem:

1. Predictive Demand Forecasting

AI tools like Blue Yonder and o9 Solutions analyze prescription trends, flu season data, and even social media chatter to predict demand spikes before they happen.

2. Supplier Risk Monitoring

Platforms like IBM Watson can detect potential supplier issues—such as delays, geopolitical instability, or raw material shortages—so companies can act early.

3. Smart Inventory Allocation

AI algorithms help pharma companies distribute medicine where it's needed most, reducing both overstock and stockouts.

4. Real-Time Alerts

AI systems monitor warehouse and transport conditions 24/7. If something goes wrong, alerts are triggered automatically to reroute or replenish stock.

5. Simulation & Planning

Tools like Llamasoft simulate possible scenarios (like a factory shutdown or sudden demand surge) so pharma companies can prepare backup strategies.

📊 Result? More medicines reach the right hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies—at the right time.
