Product perishability is an important problem in Pharmaceutical Supply Chains (PSC). Demand perishability and unpredictability add enormous complexity to successfully implementing efficient Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Network Design (PSCND). This study develops a mathematical model for the PSCND. Th...
