    In 2015, the lean transformation of the University of Chicago Medicine medical center encompassed substantial renovation of its internal supply chain. This included moving from a centralized warehouse-based system managed largely by clinical teams to a lean, decentralized, just-in-time system managed by supply chain professionals.

    In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought new challenges to the University of Chicago Medicine's supply chain. Accommodating for the COVID-19 pandemic required numerous changes to the supply chain design and operations.

    The presentation will discuss the story of supply chain transformation, sustainment, and adaptation to COVID-19.
