J & J is a global healthcare company that operates in three main segments: Consumer Health, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Devices. Globally, J & J employs an estimated 135,000 employees worldwide.

Its pharma offerings see it develop and manufacture an array of prescription drugs, including treatments for oncology, immunology, cardiovascular diseases and infectious diseases.

Its medical devices division produces products, such as surgical equipment, orthopaedic devices, diagnostic tools and contact lenses. J & J’ s consumer health division, meanwhile, manufactures and sells well-known brands such as Band-Aid, Listerine, Neutrogena, and Tylenol( in the US).

During Covid, it repurposed its supply chain, converting manufacturing lines globally to produce much-needed hand sanitiser, and donating this to health and community service workers.

And when demand for the painkiller Tylenol doubled in certain markets, J & J ramped up its production, running sites 24 / 7 to produce and ship at all times.

“ It is organisations with the strongest supply chains that have ensured people continue to receive the products they need to stay safe and healthy,” the company said at the time.

J & J marshalls a vast global supply chain network to support its global operations. It has manufacturing facilities, distribution centres and logistics hubs across six continents to ensure timely and efficient product availability.

J & J makes strong supplier relations the beating heart of its supply chain, working closely with suppliers to ensure the quality, reliability and sustainability of raw materials, components and services.

In terms of demand planning and forecasting processes J & J analyses market trends, historical data and customer insights to optimise inventory levels, minimise shortages and reduce excess inventory.
