The pharmaceutical industry a massive global sector responsible for pharmaceutical production development and marketing has the problem of developing robust supply chains (SCs). These SCs are becoming more complicated while functioning in a global market making them more vulnerable to disruptions. To ensure that the healthcare system operates efficiently and meets the growing demand healthcare organisations must construct resilient and reliable SCs. In this study we develop a multi-objective optimisation model to address the pharmaceutical supply chain (PSC) problem while simultaneously minimising costs and increasing network reliability. We use three essential SC design indicators: node density node complexity and node criticality as well as a network reliability indicator to improve SC resilience and reliability. Our research findings indicate that in the pharmaceutical business improving SC reliability reducing SC costs and managing total SC orders holistically can effectively reduce the risk of SC interruptions.

Purpose - This research aims to update the literature about the importance of reliability in supply chain (SC) and to find out the SC determinants. Design/methodology/approach - This research surveys while contributing to the academic grasp of supply chain reliability (SCR) concepts. The study found 45 peer-reviewed publications using a structured survey technique with a four-step filtering process. The filtering process includes data reduction processes such as an evaluation of abstract and conclusion. The filtered study focuses on SCR and its determinants. Findings - One of the major findings is that most of the study has focused on mathematical and conceptual studies. Also this study provides the answer to a question like how can reliability be better accepted and evolved within the SC after finding the determinants of SCR. Originality/value - The observed methodological gap in understanding and development of SCR was identified and classified into three categories: mathematical conceptual and empirical studies (case studies and survey's mainly). This research will aid academics in developing and understanding the determinants of SCR.
