14. European Pharma Supply Chain
Data Sizing Assumptions
14
■ 14,9 billion pharmaceuticals on prescription per year
■ ~9 read events per supply chain
□ 1 x producer (create + out)
□ 2 x distributors (in + out)
( )
□ 1 x pharmacy (in + sell)
□ 1 x customer (check)
■ Assuming 220 working days with 14 hours per day production
results in ~12,000 read events per second!
