Digital supply chain management: competitive advantage and sustainable production
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this investigation is to examine how the adaption of digital supply chain management (DSCM) practices affects the efficiency of factories and sustainable production. The research consists of eight constructs which, respectively, inspired eight hypotheses.
Design/methodology/approach
The emergence of DSCM practices has significant importance for sustainable production and enhances overall firm performance.
Findings
The smart PLS-SEM approach allowed us to examine the data from 450 factories in Côte d'Ivoire. The results indicated that research hypotheses are highly significant and exhibit a strong correlation with DSCM for firm performance and competitiveness. The outcomes underscore the significance of DSCM strategies in achieving competitive advantage, enhancing firm performance and promoting sustainable production within the manufacturing sector.
Originality/value
This study is useful for policymakers, industrialists and the government of Côte d’Ivoire.
