Abstract:
Purpose:
This work aims to investigate the impact of Supply Chain Management (SCM), Research and
Development (R&D), Inventory Automation (IA) and Total Quality Management (TQM) on
operational performance, as well as how these factors relate to one another.
Methodology & Design:
With the aid of writing and industry experts, fundamental pharmaceutical quality and supply
chain elements have been linked. It has been determined how TQM practices affect supply
chain practices, research and development, inventory automation, and operational
performance. In essence, the impact ofsupply chain simulations on operational effectiveness
is evaluated. The demonstrated underlying conditions are also used to test and evaluate
alternative models. Numerous statistical techniques, including correlation, and regression will
be used depending on the needs ofthe investigation.
Findings:
Testing of alternative models revealed that IQM procedures directly impact opeiational
performance. However, TQM procedures, inventory automation, and R&D activities also
directly relate to supply chain element that allect the oveiall opeiationcd peiioimance.
Examining several models, it is determined that the model in which supply chain techniques
such as TQM, inventory automation, and research and development further influence the
functional presentation is generally appropriate.
