The Digital Supply Chain: How Advanced Technologies, AI and Analytics are Changing Supply Chains, Second Edition is a thorough investigation of the underpinning technologies, systems, platforms and models that enable the design, management, and control of digitally connected supply chains. It examines the origin, emergence and building blocks of the Digital Supply Chain, showing how and where the virtual and physical supply chain worlds interact. It reviews the enabling technologies that underpin digitally controlled supply chains and examines how the discipline of supply chain management is affected by enhanced digital connectivity, discussing purchasing and procurement, supply chain traceability, performance management, and supply chain cyber security. The fully updated second edition maintains the core introductory and foundational elements but also addresses many recent developments, such as AI and cloud-based systems, forecasting and demand sensing, digital compliance and cyber-security. It examines how digital connectivity continues to develop, affecting all aspects of supply chain management, from supply chain design and configuration to purchasing and procurement and the management of compliance, sustainability and performance. The state of digital adoption across multiple sectors is examined, including consumer and retail products, food, pharma, textiles and clothing, and the auto-industry. The many challenges associated with digitalization of supply chains are highlighted, including supply chain cyber security, information governance, designing effective traceability systems, and exploiting digital technologies to enhance sustainable supply chain operations. Critical research frontiers are examined, including network science for the analysis of complex supply chain configurations, the applications of AI for supply chain surveillance, supply chain legislation and digital product passports, all of which will enable deeper engagement and connectivity in the supply chains of the future. The Digital Supply Chain: How Advanced Technologies, AI and Analytics are Changing Supply Chains, Second Edition serves as an essential resource for researchers and students in supply chain management, logistics and digital business, as well as supply chain leaders, logistics managers, data scientists, engineers, and consultants in a variety of fields.
