by The Open University
From surgical tools to obstetric instruments, personalised colostomy bags to hip implants, the UK's National Health Service requires an astonishing number of products to be manufactured, delivered and routinely managed. What happens behind the scenes to ensure the systems function smoothly?

In this time-critical setting, their supply chain processes must be organised with scrupulous efficiency.
