Abstract

This paper gives a glimpse and a precise summary of this emerging technology that is blockchain and how we are going to utilize it to form a tamper-proof system to remove fake products/drugs in pharmaceutical industries. Study of various reports shows that fake products entering the pharma supply chain are a serious concern. By the use of blockchain across the whole supply chain, many problems of the distributors and manufacturer and consumer will be solved that includes—(i) robust system, (ii) improved transparency, (iii) immutable, (iv) authentic, (v) reliable, and (vi) secure. Overall, here, we are showing a raw outlet on how a blockchain transaction over a supply chain management system will be far better as compared to the conventional one.
