Title: How Many Pharmacies Can a Pharmaceutical Company Fully Supply Each Day?
Published: [Today’s Date]
When a pharmaceutical company produces a substantial daily supply of medication, efficient distribution is crucial to ensuring patients receive timely care. Take, for example, a company producing 1,200 units daily. However, due to an unexpected transport issue, 15% of the medication becomes unusable during transit before reaching pharmacies. This article explains how this loss impacts supply and determines how many pharmacies can be fully serviced each day.
Understanding the Context
Step 1: Calculate the Usable Medication After Transport Loss
The company produces 1,200 units per day, but 15% is lost during transport. First, calculate the amount of medication that reaches pharmacies:
- 15% of 1,200 units = 0.15 × 1,200 = 180 units lost
- Usable medication = 1,200 – 180 = 1,020 units
So, only 1,020 units are available for distribution to pharmacies.

Step 2: Determine Pharmacy Demand
Each pharmacy requires 85 units per day to meet patient needs. To find out how many pharmacies can be fully supplied, divide the total usable units by the daily requirement per pharmacy:
- 1,020 units ÷ 85 units per pharmacy ≈ 12.00 pharmacies
Since only complete pharmacies receive full supplies, the company can fully supply 12 pharmacies daily.

Why This Matters
Understanding how transport inefficiencies impact usable supply highlights the importance of robust logistics in healthcare. Even a moderate loss like 15% significantly reduces the number of patients who can be reliably served. Optimizing transport reliability ensures medications reach those who need them—day in, day out.
Conclusion
With daily production of 1,200 units and 15% loss due to transport issues, a pharmaceutical company can fully supply 12 pharmacies each day, providing 85 usable units per pharmacy. This calculation emphasizes how critical supply chain efficiency is in delivering consistent healthcare access.
