Self-Organizing Digital Supply Chains and Their Potential for Enhancing Enterprise Efficiency in the Black Sea Region
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The innovations in the information technologies sector in recent years resulted in advanced growth of the digitalization, telecommunications, and connectivity, which requires an adequate change and adaptation of the entire industrial production chain. The integration of information technologies and production processes has the potential to enable autonomous production systems through the self-organization of machines and production units, automated supply chain coordination, and the direct transformation of orders into integrated production information. These developments are particularly relevant for enterprises operating in the Black Sea coastal countries. The possibility of building self-organizing productions combines at a new qualitative and functional level the real world of production with the virtual world of information and communication technologies, whereby the traditional industrial processes are supplemented, developed, and optimized through digitalization and inbuilt intelligence.
