Besides that, the advent of data analytics and business intelligence is having ripple effect in supply chain management as this enables decision making on real-time basis, and also enhances efficiency in operations. For instance, the interconnected systems created by IoT are also boosting supply chain operations by granting process owners the ability to know what is happening in the inventory, or simply be aware of shipping of commodities and the situation of the assets. While digital revolutions bring positive outcomes, there arise the challenges that privacy should be taken into account when there is technology adoption.
