“…The growing technology facing the world has resulted in a new wave of automation in various sectors of society [69]. This wave ranges from the use of robotics by companies and farms in areas such as production, manufacturing, planting and harvesting, and also in transportation [70], to the application of both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Analytics (BDA) to facilitate the collection and construction of valuable information and competitive advantage from the massive data at their disposal [71].…”

With the growing global interdependence of companies, their scope of responsibility for the environmental, social, and human rights impacts associated with their activities is also growing. In this context, companies are increasingly held accountable for social and ecological issues that lie within the sphere of action of their suppliers and sub-suppliers. They are thus faced with the challenge of meeting these demands for transparency, traceability, and compliance with standards in their Supply Chains (SCs). Based on the theoretical framework of Sustainable Supply Chain Transparency (SSCT) in Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM), this conceptual article aims at initiating the discussion on digitalization in SSCM. Therefore, a heuristical research framework, based on relevant fields in the management of sustainability oriented transparency (governance, cooperation and partner selection, traceability/tracking, and strategic and operational risk assessment) is developed. In relation to these fields, consequently, data-driven digital approaches are identified to which potentials for SSCT and control can be attributed. This initial analysis of existing digital approaches already shows that the market is developing dynamically, but is driven more by individual initiatives. In many cases, the approaches used so far are still in the trial phase or offer only limited solutions. Therefore, this paper contributes by giving an overview of the current application of the digitalization approaches in SSCM pinning our discussion on SSCT dimensions.

This paper is intended to provide a critical literature review on the current research practices and the existing progress research published in the fields related to supply chain design and supply chain digitalisation. The study aims to reveal the adaptability of digital technologies to supply chain design and further explain the issues and requirements for dynamic reconfiguration of the supply chain in the digital era. The review study comprises articles appearing in the major journals related to the topic, and detailed analysis as to the approaches and findings of these works. The contribution of this study lies in the taxonomy study, and findings are revealed that digitalisation of supply chain design followed and shedding light on future research. Further need for research is identified regarding framework development, and reconfiguration of supply chain design in the digital era is more important to mitigate the risk level and improve the efficiency and responsiveness of the supply chain.

“…Researchers argue that the primary objective of SC is to maximise customer satisfaction [51] by providing the right product to the right customer in the right quantity at the right time at the right place for the right price [52,44,53]. The actors within the SC are interrelated and aligned their operations of different natures to improve SC cost, lead time, quality and flexibility in the process of transforming raw materials until the finished product reaches end customer [53,54].…”

This study delves into how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Malaysian glove industry's supply chain and triggered the adoption of digitalization to enhance supply chain performance (SCP). Through surveys and interviews, it was discovered that the pandemic negatively affected business performance but prompted increased digitalization adoption. Commonly utilized digital solutions include Big Data Analytics (BDA), Internet of Things (IoT), and Cloud Computing (CC), while less commonly adopted solutions include Augmented Reality (AR) and Additive Manufacturing (AM). The research underscores a positive link between digitalization and SCP, stressing the significance of digital capabilities in sustaining supply chain resilience and responsiveness. However, challenges such as cultural shifts in work practices and investment apprehensions impede digitalization endeavors. The study provides insights for industry practitioners on harnessing digitalization to alleviate supply chain disruptions and offers recommendations for effective digitalization strategies.
