Abstract
To develop a lean strategy, need to utilize the quantitative and qualitative approach to develop the research plan and sampling techniques. To implement lean methodology in Pharmaceutical Supply Chain (PSC) need to identify the wastage and alternate path to increase the efficiency. Like all parts of research, the sign is not static or self-contained and evolves during the project. The study's topics and questions aren't always finalized until the investigation is well underway. The locations of research and the persons involved are rarely known ahead of time, and it is more frequently than not for a researcher's plans to change as the study progresses. Similarly, it is typical for the research focus and interests to shift during the research and new areas of concern to arise, necessitating adjustments to the original plans for participant participation. Furthermore, as the research advances, the data collection methods may require specific design changes. This could be due to a shift in interest, difficulties, or obstacles in recruiting the appropriate individuals, or simply because the procedures didn't provide the results that they were expected to for whatever reason. In pharmaceutical supply chain analysis need to conduct the feasibility of sampling thoroughly. The qualitative and quantitative interview questions should cover the research intention and subject.
