dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to determine factors influencing Performance in Pharmaceutical Supply Chain (PSC). A review of the literature showed that there is little empirical research studies conducted focusing on performance in PSC. This study aimed at filling the empirical gap and sheds light in Pharmaceutical supply chain in Tanzania. The study used exploratory design. The study was carried out in Dar es Salaam region Medical Stores Department (MSD-HQs) and a sample of 65 staffs was drawn from a targeted population of 220. Data was collected using questionnaire instrument and subjected to Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS v.23) for running the quantitative analysis technique. The testing of hypotheses was involved several data analysis technique which included exploratory factor analysis (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity), regression analysis (simple linear regression) and correlation analysis (Pearson correlation). The analyzed data was then presented in tables and figures for interpretation. The study found that Information, Competence, Technological infrastructure and Inventory control are direct related and they have close relationship with performance in Pharmaceutical Supply Chain (PSC). Among the four factors tested, it was found that Quality of information significantly influences Performance in PSC. This study has implication to various stakeholders and actors alongside pharmaceutical supply chain operations especially in Tanzania as well as the research community. The study recommends that actors alongside supply chain (manufacturers, suppliers, transport agencies, health facilities together with public and private beneficiaries.
