MIT Digital Supply Chain Transformation
Understanding new collaborative paradigms that arise during digital supply chain transformations
What is the Digital Supply Chain Transformation Initiative?
- Digital Supply Chain Transformation is the analysis of digital technology and data to the transition towards value-driven supply chains.
- Digital technology is accelerating the pace of business and transforming supply chains.
- Transforming the supply chain digitally can lead up to a 50% reduction in process costs and an increase in revenue by 20%.
- One of the challenges: inter-organizational collaboration changes during digital transformations.
Our Research Areas
Multidimensional Collaboration
When companies jointly implement new technologies, collaboration can take multiple forms. Collaboration becomes a key driver of competitive advantage.
Digital Supply Chain Capabilities
Essential for today’s digital SC, at the individual, organizational as well as at the supply chain level, dynamic capabilities enable successful transformation.
Artificial Intelligence and Supply Chain Management
AI promises to augment human capabilities and reshape companies. The reality of AI adoption in SCM finds itself deep in a cosmos of apparent contradictions.
