In fact, an optimum structure regarding sustainable aspects of supply chain in light of economic, social, environmental and political aspects (i.e., as important aspects in the current situation) were designed. Also, for this purpose, a digraph corresponded to a feasible structure under real situation of pharmaceutical supply chain was considered, and then with help of goal programming approach, an optimum configuration, which is a sub-digraph from the main, will be achieved.
