This community envisions that data and information technology are key for realizing data-driven decision making in supply chain management. Supply chain and logistics actors are challenged by innovative digital platforms, e-commerce operations, and are confronted with exogenous disrupting factors leading to human capital scarcity and unpredictable logistics. To keep a competitive edge, business should rely on digital supply chains in which algorithms and AI are exploited to create decision support that enables sustainability, efficiency, resilience, robustness, and meaningful work.
A digital and transparent data infrastructure both within and across supply chain actors is crucial for achieving it in a resilient way.
