Sales predictive analysis for improving supply chain drug sample

Abstract

The delivery of drug samples allows increasing sales of pharmaceutical products [6]. However, we discovered some problems that can be improved in the supply chain that delivers drug samples (used for the treatment of excess glucose). Databases were integrated; then we apply data extraction and transformation; and finally we apply multiple regression analysis to explain drug sales. The first analysis evaluates the integration of regional data and the second analysis refers to data dis-aggregated by region. We identify the region with the greatest impact on sales and the impact of the delivery of drug samples in the Mexican market.
