The firm increased its offerings at the hands of Rudy while moving out of Los Angeles. Both Rudy and George ensured that the firm grew by increasing its volume of operations and even diversifying its offerings. In George’s leadership, the firm acquired Atlantic Medical to add to its already enormous size.

The move to increase the volume of operations meant that Western Pharmaceuticals needed to augment its distribution channels. The new firm, United Pharmaceuticals is presently huge with several manufacturing and distribution centers. In addition, the firm offers a choice of six products. To ensure organization and low costs of operations, the firm uses only one distribution center per state. This system would make it easier to manage every distribution. However, the case of inventory is still a problem because of lack of clear information. The firm needs to refine its inventory management system to ensure that its operations run smoothly.

Intellectual property rights include any patents, copyrights, or trademarks associated with a typical good or invention.
