The pharmaceutical reverse supply chain is an integral part of pharmaceutical industry. Due to the complex nature of the process and strict government regulations, it is important to use different AI technologies to increase the efficiency of the reverse supply chain. This research aims to design an AI driven framework for reverse supply chain of pharmaceutical products which would increase efficiency, speed, automate processes and enhance trust among the stakeholders. The framework consists of five modules namely Collection and Sorting Centre, Return Management, Real-time Inventory Management, Disposal Centre, and Data Analytics. In each module different AI technologies have been embedded to increase the efficiency of the system. The proposed framework offers a holistic approach that not only aligns with stringent pharmaceutical standards but also contributes to a more robust, transparent, and environmentally sustainable reverse supply chain.

摘要

The pharmaceutical reverse supply chain is an integral part of pharmaceutical industry. Due to the complex nature of the process and strict government regulations, it is important to use different AI technologies to increase the efficiency of the reverse supply chain. This research aims to design an AI driven framework for reverse supply chain of pharmaceutical products which would increase efficiency, speed, automate processes and enhance trust among the stakeholders. The framework consists of five modules namely Collection and Sorting Centre, Return Management, Real-time Inventory Management, Disposal Centre, and Data Analytics. In each module different AI technologies have been embedded to increase the efficiency of the system. The proposed framework offers a holistic approach that not only aligns with stringent pharmaceutical standards but also contributes to a more robust, transparent, and environmentally sustainable reverse supply chain.
