SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN: HOW MIS CAN HELP ASSESS AND ACHIEVE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS FOR

Abstract

Various explanations and ideas of Supply Chains (SC) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) have emerged owing to the rise in global sourcing since the 1980s. Manufacturers agree that a solid Supply Chain and efficient resource allocation are crucial after the COVID-19 pandemic. Consumers and producers are more aware of their products' environmental implications. The environment and society are threatened by population growth and economic activity. Circular Economy (CE) concepts like logistics, vendor management, and resource mapping can boost an organization's performance. The relationship between CE and SCM can be understood in several ways, one of which is Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). SSCM adds social and environmental factors to supply chain procedures, increasing a company's long-term success. Before utilizing SSCM, focus organizations must create an effective information process method to address supply chain uncertainty, hazards, and information-sharing questions. Digitization and circular development can give manufacturers long-term benefits. Information Digital and Technology (IDT) was first used in supply chain management with EDI, ERP, and computer-aided technologies. AI, IoT, BDA, Cloud, and Blockchain Technology (BT) have gained traction as IDT that could improve SSCM today. Environmental challenges that may affect human cultures and well-being are significant concerns as Food Supply Chains (FSC) expand to satisfy seasonal food demand, sustainability, and safety. As a result, the meaning of SSCM has emerged in recent years to address the growing concern over sustainability in the FSC. FSC was made more sustainable by measures such as the use of technology, improved resource effectiveness, staff education, and a better knowledge of customer demand.
