The aim of this paper is to examine the linkages between supply chain improvement initiatives put into practice to obtain better supply network performance level. The paper presents and analyses four case studies of supply networks coordinated by large pharmaceutical companies. It was found that a preferred sequence of implementation of SCM improvement initiatives exists, implying the redesigning of supply network configuration to exploit economies of scale, and the adoption of supplier/demand integration initiatives.
