Information Technology Enabled Supply Chain: A Systematic Literature Review
Abstract
Information technology (IT) enabled supply chain helps in reducing cost and improving supply chain efficiency so as to compete globally. The aim of this paper is to do systematic literature review of IT-enabled supply chain and factors for successful implementation. The research presents the increased focus on supply chain, IT-enabled supply chain and the importance of 12 critical success factors enabling implementation of IT-enabled supply chain. This review will help practitioners in preparing business case for IT-enabled supply chain and focus on factors effecting successful implementation of IT-enabled supply chain. This review helps in collating and presenting the key work done in the past and provides guidance for future research work that can be conducted.
Keywords: Supply chain management (SCM), Technology, Information technology (IT), Critical success factors, Barriers, IT-enabled supply chain.
