21、 the efficient transfer of medicines from factory to patient.AHL Pharmaceuticals is one of Britains largest wholesale distributors of medicines. Under a European parent company, Setra AG, it covers 40 per cent of the British market. The company buys medicines from the manufacturers and delivers them
22、 on a twice-daily basis to hundreds of hospitals and pharmacies around the country.The responsibility for supplying such large quantities of medicines is frightening, says IT director, Stephen Smith. If a manufacturer has quality control problems, creating a shortfall in supply, or if medicines are
23、suddenly needed in large quantities somewhere else in the world our stock levels can fall dramatically. In the past such a lack of balance between supply and demand was a huge problem. With our new software system, we know immediately of any possible manufacturing or supply difficulties, can warn ou
24、r customers and suggest possible alternatives.This system is so efficient because manufacturers can update details themselves of stock levels and product information. Twice a day staff at AHL transfer this data to their main computer system where it is made available through the AHL website to compa
25、ny personnel and customers.With so many people having access to the data, isnt the security of the system at risk? Not at all, says Smith. We run the software within our own internal security system. The data goes into a special “sandbox“ which is separate from the rest of the system. Even if someon
