Systematic review: resilience enablers to combat counterfeit medicines

The purpose of this paper is to understand the role of resilience enablers in combating counterfeits in the medicine supply chain based on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The objective is also to help practitioners and scholars as the review revealed that little research has been conducted on selecting and implementing practices to improve resilience to counterfeiting.,Based on the literature review, a content analysis was performed for 84 selected papers to explore the potential relationship among resilience enablers and counterfeit anti-measures.,This paper contributes to Supply Chain Resilience (SCR) research by summarizing the highly fragmented literature concerning how to combat counterfeiting. The SLR indicated reengineering, collaboration, visibility, innovation, SCR culture and trust as six key enablers to combat counterfeit medicines and identified literature gaps. Moreover, the paper discusses other resilience enablers which have been less studied in the literature and shows new avenues of research.,This paper is limited in that it is an exploratory literature review and focuses only on three databases over the past 15 years. Furthermore, counterfeit is a rapidly evolving issue and anti-measure studies require frequent surveillance concerning new discoveries.,The main contribution of this paper is to provide a better understanding of enablers most often associated with counterfeit anti-measures, which, therefore, might help to increase resilience to counterfeit medicines. Moreover, research gaps involving enablers less associated with anti-measures are presented.

A future look

Since the Industrial Revolution, some believe that the machines will take the place of men, their simplest task to the most sophisticated. Others, that technology has transformed the habits of society and improves his quality of life. This article debates the technology and its relationship with the man, the automation of human occupations and the impact on their daily lives. Although the issue travels in the realm of science fiction, the man faces specifically with the machine in carrying out their professional activities, in meeting their reproductive needs, including entertainment. To address this issue, it was essential to recover the debate on the Law of Declining Trend Profit formulated by Karl Marx in Capital Rate and illustrates, recover the work of Isaac Asimovs fiction, I, Robot.

EDUCAÇÃO – UMA OBSERVAÇÃO PARA O FUTURO

A note on supply chain risk classification: discussion and proposal

The main objective of this note is to complement the excellent work on supply chain risk classification by Rangel et al. [International Journal of Production Research, vol. 52 (7), 2014]. In this note, we consider the use of ISO/IEC (International Organisation for Standardisation/International Electrotechnical Commission) norms to support the supply chain risk classification. Its purpose is to develop, maintain and promote standards in the fields of information technology and information communications technology. Therefore, to improve on the work by Rangel et al. (2014), ISO 27036 (Information Security for Supplier Relationship) and ISO 28000 (Specification for Security Management Systems for the Supply Chain) are aligned with ISO 31000 (Risk Management–Risk Assessment Techniques). Furthermore, since supply chain risk management does not have a standardised process, these norms, particularly ISO 31000, can serve as a guide to improve its implementation.

SGPAT Workflow: Proposta de uma Plataforma Tecnológica para Automação de Documentos Técnicos Institucionais

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo realizar um estudo dos processos que envolvem a producao de trabalhos academicos e apresentar uma proposta de arquitetura de uma plataforma de sistema da informacao de automacao para edicao, gerenciamento de projeto com controle do fluxo de producao de documentos tecnicos institucionais. Para alcancar tal objetivo, foi realizado um mapeamento dos processos que envolvem a producao de trabalhos de conclusao de curso e producao de artigos academicos para periodicos cientificos e congressos. Tambem e apresentado os requisitos funcionais, tecnicos e metodologias de analises dentro da perspectiva de gestao de riscos, assim como o detalhamento das ferramentas tecnologicas, sistemas e padroes que compoem a arquitetura da plataforma proposta.

2ª GERAÇÃO DA NOTA FISCAL ELETRÔNICA NO BRASIL – NOVO PARADIGMA DO MODELO BASEADO EM EVENTOS

Apos a implantacao da Nota Fiscal Eletronica no Brasil iniciada em 2006, e a sua massificacao em 2010, atingindo, pela obrigatoriedade, todas as empresas industriais e atacadistas do pais, e contando hoje com quase 4 bilhoes de documentos fiscais eletronicos emitidos por mais de 750 mil empresas, o projeto entra em uma nova fase, a chamada NF-e de 2a Geracao. Este artigo visa assim apresentar, de forma resumida, a motivacao para o novo modelo tecnologico adotado e as suas principais caracteristicas, com destaque para os eventos que passam a estar associados a Nota Fiscal Eletronica ao longo de seu ciclo de vida e as vantagens para as empresas e para a administracao tributaria deste novo paradigma.
