All rights reserved.Purpose: The aim of this paper is to review relevant previous literature in order to identify gaps in the existing research relating to the lean application within the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review is undertaken to analyze and classify the previous literature into four categories, namely; the supply chain area, research approach, research objective, and lean supply chain elements. Findings: The results indicated that most attention was focused on manufacturing, while upstream suppliers, downstream activities and the entire supply chain process have received comparatively scant consideration. Similarly, the issues of information technology management, supplier management, customer relations, and logistics management, in addition to practitioner involvement represent inadequately developed topics. Future research should, therefore, address these omissions, while also including the integration of quality compliance and digital innovation in as far as they relate to pharma 4.0. Practical implications: This article serves as a guide to acquiring adequate knowledge of lean application in the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain in order to support practitioners and researchers in their future work. Originality/value: This study represents one of the limited number of reviews of the relevant literature on the subject which is potentially helpful in developing a roadmap of lean principle application to the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Lean principle,Lean supply chain,Literature review,Pharmaceutical,Supply chain[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.3926/jiem.3100[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
