Abstract

This paper aims at proposing a new framework for the classification of ICT deployments in supply chain management. The framework encompasses several different use cases pursued by supply chain managers in the last decade including: Automated warehouse management, automated transportation management, anti-counterfeit, anti-theft and product’s quality monitoring. We carried out a comprehensive literature review on ICT deployment in supply chain management, structured the new framework along categories and performed a critical analysis of deployment success as well as benefits achieved. From a practitioner’s perspective, the framework offers a comprehensive and well-structured overview of ICTs implementation potentials in the industry. Researchers on the other hand, may use the framework to identify opportunities for further research regarding ICT deployments in supply chain.This paper aims at proposing a new framework for the classification of ICT deployments in supply chain management.
