dc.description.abstractBlock chain technology removes the central authority by enabling the distributed and decentralized environment. It uses cryptographic principles to make transactions more secure and trustworthy. It is very trendy in different domains to resolves the trust issues and removes the middlemen especially in domain of supply chain management and logistics. In SCM subdomain, like pharmaceutical supply chain management there is huge counterfeit drug problem which is due to lack of coordination, transparency and traceability, which means there is no proper and secure flow of information in pharmaceutical supply chain due to complex processes involved in it. These issues are resolved by the block chain technology, because of its capability to ensure the immutability of digital information. In literature review, there is limited number of unstructured use cases present which shows that there are no proper implementations were seen in pharmaceutical supply chain by using block chain technology. So, it is necessary to develop an approach to design a use case that helps for piloting the block chain solution. This research is based on defining approach to develop a use case for pharmaceutical supply chain by using Hyper ledger Fabric framework. This use case is based on GUEST methodology which provides a standard way to develop use case by integrating with business process model and business strategy. Moreover, technological solution is also designed which includes proposed development environment, network topology, smart contract model, Hyper ledger Fabric based Network model and block chain file system for proposed use case. The piloting of a proposed system and performance evaluation is also done to understand the implementation of use case on small scale in order of processing time, storage required and block size.
