Propose Model Blockchain Technology Based Good Manufacturing Practice Model of Pharmacy Industry in Indonesia

Abstract

Medicine manufacture in Indonesia based on Government Regulation no. 34 in 2018 about Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) or in Bahasa known as “Cara Pembuatan Obat Baik” (CPOB). This method arranges the process from the raw material into the medicine storage and warehouse. With GMP, expected that the quality of medicine is guaranteed. However, there are still many counterfeit medicines produced and distributed. It is very dangerous for the patients, even causing death. Therefore, this research aims to improve medicine quality. Supply Chain Management is the core process in the pharmacy industry. The current SCM needs to improve in some areas because the data can be changed or deleted, so the right technology is needed to strengthen the SCM. Blockchain technology has immutable, unchangeable, secure, distributed, and peer to beer and famous now in many industries. This study involved five experts (still actively working and handling the process of making drugs to storage directly) from one of the largest pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia. This research tries to create an SCM model with the GMP method using Blockchain technology. The proposed model shows blockchain technology support in the part of the SCM processes. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with user-centered design, starting with literature to find the essential process that essential for model formation. The results of this research are beneficial for industry and scientific development
