    This research focused on the effect of supply chain management practices on organizational performance for the Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industry. A census survey was conducted with 243 supply chain employees. The key variables examined in this study included supplier management, customer management, information exchange, and internal operations. This study utilized a mixed methodology, including both a quantitative survey and a qualitative interview, to address these factors. Descriptive and explanatory analysis methods were utilized to analyse the data. Regression and correlation analysis and thematic analysis were employed to identify relationships between variables and to determine if specific variables may cause others to exist. Overall, the results indicate that the proper management of suppliers and customers, the dissemination of quality information, and rational processes within organizations play a major role in increasing the performance of organizations, which is demonstrated through the increased efficiency, customer satisfaction, and competitive advantage in the marketplace.
