In this research, a qualitative method was adopted due to the complexity of the process that requires close investigation to understand the real issue. Four (4) Pharmaceutical companies were selected to unveil the theme issue. A strategy framework was developed as a result of the findings and provide an insight to the practitioner on the critical factors that driving on the logistics changes in the Pharmaceutical industry.
