Background information:
Advanced technologies are shaking up the supply chain world. With quickly evolving capabilities
across generative AI, data analytics, automation, machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT),
blockchain and more, the ‘smart’ supply chain is well on its way to becoming the new normal.
(Supply chain trends 2024: The digital shake-up). In recent years it has been observed that one
prominent trend shaping the Saudi Arabia Industry 4.0 landscape is the increasing integration of
Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in manufacturing processes. Saudi
industries are leveraging IoT devices and sensors to collect real-time data from machinery and
equipment on the factory floor. (Saudi Arabia Industry 4.0 Research Report 2024). The supply chain
profession entered the year leading the digitalization of ecosystems, delivering the customer
experience, managing trade uncertainty, and applying circular economy concepts. Technology has
driven enterprises to the next level by helping in many ways starting from automating repetitive
activities, eliminating errors, and last but not least helping in decision-making. The use of technology
will surely bring down the challenges and issues, related to customer expectations, managing their
suppliers, maintaining the quality standards, and access to supply chain data faced by Supply Chain
leaders year-on-year.
The evolution of SCM is being driven by new information technologies, including Big Data, cloud
computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), radio frequency identification (RFID), 3-D printing, robotics,
global digital networks, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality. Global supply chain flows will
become increasingly digital and integrated, and end-to-end data will be driven in real-time,
exponentially increasing upstream information flows.” This new paradigm calls for a new
management culture. We call this management culture “Supply Chain Management 4.0. This novel
technology will affect the logistics, supply chains, manufacturing, and transportation industries.
