Abstract

Real-time controlling the vaccine shortage and wastage within the supply chain network (SCN) is a critical challenge for healthcare professionals. However, in the literature, only limited studies are available on theoretical support and application of 5G to control the shortage and wastage of vaccines and no effective framework has been developed. Moreover, we are proposing a framework for a 5G enabled vaccine supply chain (VSC) digital twin to control the shortage and wastage of vaccines across the SCN. The 5G technologies enhance real-time visibility and connectivity of the supply chain (SC) at a highly granular level. This paper aims to propose an application of 5G technologies to provide the digital twin framework for improving visibility and connectivity that will help to make the real-time decision for controlling vaccine shortage and wastage within the SCN. As a result, this proposed digital twin framework for the vaccine supply chain will help improve delivery performance during pandemic and emergency times through highly granular visibility and connectivity across the network.
