This paper explores the role of supply chain management in achieving competitive advantage within Jordanian pharmaceutical industrial companies, with a focus on the moderating effect of talent management. The research investigates four key dimensions of SCM: supplier relationships, intermediaries and distributors, customer relationships, and operations. This study relied on the descriptive analytical approach, where the study population consisted of all the Jordanian pharmaceutical industrial companies listed on the Amman Chamber of Industry. Findings reveal that SCM significantly enhances competitive advantage, accounting for 69.6% of its variation, with operations and intermediaries-distributor relationships exerting the strongest influence. Furthermore, the moderating role of TM is confirmed, increasing the explanatory power of SCM from 43.7% to 49.2%. These results underscore the importance of integrating TM practices into SCM strategies to sustain competitive advantage in a dynamic and highly regulated industry.
