    Evaluating the Factors that Affect the Adoption of Blockchain Technology in the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain - A Case Study from Sri Lanka
    (Department of Industrial Management, Faculty of Science, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2022) Paththinige, Pavani; Rajapakse, Chathura
    One of the significant causes of medicine counterfeiting is the pharmaceutical industry's inadequate supply chain system, which makes it hard to keep track of it. This study aims to identify the factors affecting the adoption of Blockchain in the pharmaceutical supply chain in Sri Lanka. The study's conceptual framework is developed through a thorough literature review and structured interviews. Sample data is acquired from supply chain practitioners, pharmaceutical manufacturers, Medical Supply Division, and National Medicine Regulatory Authority to validate the conceptual model. The Partial Least Squares, Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique was used to investigate the effect of factors on the adoption of Blockchain. Based on a thorough examination of the literature, the suggested conceptual model incorporates the complex relationships between eight significant factors, namely1) Relative advantage, 2) Upper management support, 3) Human resources, 4) Compatibility, 5) Cost, 6) Complexity, and 7) Technological Infrastructure and 8) Architecture. Academics can use the proposed framework to design and review blockchain-based research as a starting point for implementing blockchain applications in the pharmaceutical supply chain.

    This study intends to look into the various ways that Industry 4.0 elevates the capabilities of ERP systems. Over recent years, it is evident that the Industry 4.0 concept has been the birthplace of many innovative technologies across various industries, and the practical implementation of Industry 4.0related technologies is also rapidly expanding across many industries. Moreover, the incorporation of Industry 4.0-related technologies has dramatically increased the performance of organizations and hence led to sustained profits in the long term. By integrating Industry 4.0 technologies such as IoT and RFID into ERP systems, the ERP systems will be able to capture realtime data from the work floor level, enabling ERP systems to provide more accurate analytics and predictions. Therefore, upgrading the existing traditional ERP systems to support these novel technologies presented by Industry 4.0 will undoubtfully contribute to enhancing the capabilities of ERP systems. Among the limited studies investigating ERP systems from the Industry 4.0 perspective, none have focused on conducting a systematic literature review on ERP from the Industry 4.0 standpoint to investigate how Industry 4.0 enhances the capabilities of ERP systems. Therefore, this study contributes to the theory by fulfilling that knowledge gap.
