To evaluate the number of lots of interest during outbreak investigations, a computer modeling project evaluated different supply chain configurations and various outbreak investigation scenarios. An agent-based model was developed and used to evaluate the number of Traceability Lot Codes (TLCs) and number of supply chain nodes in scope for specific outbreak investigation scenarios. The modeling project will be shared along with the results.
