Managing shortages was taking up a significant amount time, which in turn negatively affected CPDN’s customer service levels and drove up its distribution costs. There were also broader implications for patient care and total costs to the Canadian health care system. It was Friday, January 18, 2019, and the president was expecting to present the director of operations’ recommendations to the board of directors the following month.
