DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT OF ENTERPRISES IN THE INTERNATIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN

Abstract

Modern technologies are launching the Fourth Industrial Revolution and creating new ways of doing business. With the rapid development of new technologies (such as blockchains, the Internet of Things (IoT) or artificial intelligence), organizations are trying to make the most of new opportunities to improve their business competitiveness. Accordingly, organizations must learn to adapt their structures and processes to a new approach in business process management (BPM).

The article examines the problems of managing the process of digital transformations in business, and also offers practical recommendations for the implementation of the digital transition in international supply chains.

The authors summarized the algorithm of digital transition of industrial enterprises in international supply chains, which provides that at the second step (tactical level) of the digital transition, the supply chain should be cascaded into individual business processes for the purpose of further integrated planning of tasks and identification of responsible executors.

The work states that the introduction of the decomposition approach during integrated planning leads to many advantages for the organization of the further implementation of the digital transition at all stages of the supply chain of an industrial enterprise.

The authors concluded that the automation of supply chain processes fundamentally changes the rules of managing complex ESG data. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning platforms generate actionable information that improves supply chain decisions related to ESG factors. The integration of these technologies enables continuous evolutionary progress, exemplified by the use of new technologies to improve supply chain management, understanding areas for further improvement and innovation.
