A Comprehensive Model for the Assessment of Digitalization Transformation in Supply Chain Management
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The rise of Industry 4.0 has made digital transformation a critical element of modern supply chain management, offering organizations a pathway to competitive advantage. While the prior literature has examined aspects of digitalization, few studies present a comprehensive view of the transformation process through to its practical application. This study proposes and aims to validate a digital transformation model developed by the author, based on a systematic literature review of 284 articles from Scopus and Web of Science. The model outlines a progression from data management to the integration of enabling technologies, culminating in enhanced supply chain decision-making. It introduces three key metrics—readiness, adoption, and Digital Maturity—to guide companies through distinct stages of transformation. Validation will be conducted using a mixed-methods approach, combining expert interviews and a quantitative survey with SCM professionals. This study offers both a theoretical framework and practical roadmap to support organizations in evolving their digital transformation strategies.
