Pharmaceutical market in Indonesia tends to stable and increase from year to year. The development of the pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia is not balanced by the ability of national companies producing raw materials in the country. Almost 90% of raw materials used in the Indonesian pharmaceutical industry are imported. This resulted in the instability of the supply chain of pharmaceutical products in Indonesia because import of raw materials is strongly affected by the world economic and political conditions. The aim of this research was to analyze the influence of environmental uncertainty on performance, both the performance of buyer and supplier in pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia. This research was designed as a causal research that tried to find the relationship among variables based on existing theories. The study population was all the pharmaceutical companies in Indonesia. Based on the data from the Indonesian Pharmacists Association, there are 247 pharmaceutical companies in Indonesia. Given the limited number of population, the method of data collection was obtained by census or all members of population were sampled. The data collected in this study are primary data through a mail survey. Stages of data analysis are as follows, validity test using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), reliability test using Cronbach's Alpha, and hypotheses test using path analysis. This study analyzed the relationship among three variables those are environmental uncertainty (demand uncertainty, supply uncertainty, and technological uncertainty), strategic supply management, and performance. The results of validity and reliability test showed that all the questionnaire items were valid and reliable. The results of path analysis found that both supply and technological uncertainty influence 2 strategic supply management and strategic supply management influence performance. Only one hypothesis was not supported in this research that demand uncertainty was not influence strategic supply management. Demand uncertainty is rather different from supply uncertainty. Demand uncertainty is likely not shifted significantly, but not for supply uncertainty. The higher supply uncertainty, the strengthen relationship among supply chain members in the form of vertical integration as well as trying to strengthen its strategic supply management. Indonesia's dependence on imported raw materials as much as 90% suggests that uncertainty affects the supply of strategic supply management of medicines. Similarly, the technological uncertainty affects the strategic supply management. Rapid technological change will further increase the cooperation between supply chain members. Another result of this study was that strategic supply management influence the buyer and supplier performance. Companies that are in the supply chain integration will always strive to improve the competitive advantage that leads to a mutually beneficial partnership.
