Abstract

Traceability consists of systematically associating a flow of information with a physical flow of goods so that the required information relative to the specific groups or groups of products can be rediscounted at a specific moment. The health sector is by nature a global sector that has supply chains that cross borders, but at the same time, the health sector is very local, which is why the implementation of global, open and tested standards allows systems of effective and efficient traceability around the world. The study that is carried out is in the Cuban health sector, in the medicine supply chain, and its general objective is to propose a traceability plan that will improve the existing deficiencies in the Drug Traceability System in Cuba. The diagnosis of the traceability system is made and 17 problems are obtained. That is why a solution proposal is made through the design of a Traceability Plan. Techniques and tools such as bibliographic analysis, interview, Pareto diagrams, flow diagrams and others were used. Minitab 16, Microsoft Excel and Visio softwares were used.
