Presenting an Innovative Sustainable Supply Chain Model Based on Blockchain in the State of Uncertainty in Pharmaceutical Industry

In the modern supply chain, the coordination and cooperation of different members of the supply chain as well as the integration of production and commercial processes lead to achieving a competitive advantage and reducing costs. On the other hand, medicine is considered as a strategic commodity, and the smallest disruption in its supply chain is possible. That may cause severe crises. For this reason, one of the most vital things in the drug industry is its supply chain. The weak response of suppliers to customers and lack of information sharing in the drug supply chain has caused weakness in the predictions of this industry. Among its notable features, it can improve some of the current challenges of the pharmaceutical industry's supply chain, including fraud, preservation, corruption, smuggling, theft, on-time delivery, and performance by improving the quality, speed, and reliability of delivery. In this research, an innovative model for blockchain-based supply chains in the supply chain of the pharmaceutical industry is presented and can provide an optimal path to this important industry.

Abstract

In the modern supply chain, the coordination and cooperation of different members of the supply chain as well as the integration of production and commercial processes lead to achieving a competitive advantage and reducing costs. On the other hand, medicine is considered as a strategic commodity, and the smallest disruption in its supply chain is possible. That may cause severe crises. For this reason, one of the most vital things in the drug industry is its supply chain. The weak response of suppliers to customers and lack of information sharing in the drug supply chain has caused weakness in the predictions of this industry. Among its notable features, it can improve some of the current challenges of the pharmaceutical industry's supply chain, including fraud, preservation, corruption, smuggling, theft, on-time delivery, and performance by improving the quality, speed, and reliability of delivery. In this research, an innovative model for blockchain-based supply chains in the supply chain of the pharmaceutical industry is presented and can provide an optimal path to this important industry.
