Critical Enablers for Successful Supply Chain 4.0 Adoption: Enhancing Supply Chain Visibility and Efficiency

Öz

This study investigates the influence of the critical organisational factors on Supply Chain 4.0 (SC4.0) adoption and how SC4.0 impacts supply chain visibility and efficiency. Although Industry 4.0 has gained increasing interest, there is little empirical research on SC4.0 and its impacts on operational performance, particularly in emerging economies. Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV) and dynamic capability theory (DCT), we assessed the influence of Industry 4.0 strategy, supply chain integration (SCI), production system automation (PSA), and lean practices (LP) on SC4.0 adoption and ultimately the impact of SC4.0 on performance. PLS-SEM was used to analyse data from Turkish manufacturing firms. This was also supported by bibliometric analysis. The findings reveal that the I4.0 strategy, SCI, and PSA significantly influence SC4.0 adoption, while LP does not. SC4.0 improves visibility, which leads to improvements in efficiency. This makes visibility an important mediating capability in digital supply chains. This study is one of the first to directly position SC visibility as a critical dynamic capability within SC4.0. The findings also challenge traditional assumptions about LP, which shows that there is a need to build digital lean strategies. Our study contributes to supply chain theory by emphasising the important role of dynamic capabilities in digital transformation. It also offers managerial guidance on how they can use I4.0 strategies, integration, and automation to support SC4.0 and ultimately enhance visibility. Managers should also explore new enablers to advance SC4.0 adoption.
