  • Abstract:
  • The research paper delves into the development of a sector-specific framework for project management tailored to the distinct demands of the pharmaceutical and food industries. These industries, characterized by stringent regulations, quality sensitivity, rapid technological advancements, and complex supply chains, necessitate a specialized approach beyond conventional project management methodologies. The primary objective is to bridge this gap by creating a framework that ensures efficient project delivery and enhances organizational performance within these sectors. The research methodology involves a comprehensive study encompassing competency identification, analysis of sector-specific challenges, and the proposition of adaptable project management methodologies. Challenges faced by the industries, such as regulatory complexity, quality assurance, supply chain vulnerabilities, resource allocation, safety concerns, and technology integration, are meticulously addressed. Data collection involves purposeful sampling, with insights derived from 52 experts in food and pharmaceutical industries. The findings underscore the critical importance of regulatory compliance, technological integration, quality management, and supply chain management in project success. The research also highlights barriers to innovation, emphasizing the need for sector-specific frameworks. Based on the data analysis, the implications of adopting the proposed framework are significant. These include enhanced product quality, regulatory adherence, cost efficiency, timely project delivery, competitive advantage, and positive impacts on public health and business reputation. The framework is positioned to serve as a valuable resource for project managers, teams, and organizations operating in these vital sectors. The research concludes with a set of practical recommendations and suggestions for overcoming challenges identified during the study. The findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on effective project management in the pharmaceutical and food industries, emphasizing the importance of sector-specific frameworks for sustainable growth and success.
