Improving supply chain resilience through the integration of algorithmic management and sustainable technologies: The mediating role of digital proficiency in production enterprises
Abstract
Abstract
In light of increasing operational disruptions, environmental challenges, and the accelerating pace of digital transformation, supply chain resilience has become a strategic imperative for manufacturing organizations, seeking to maintain operational, continuity and enhance their competitive position. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the role of algorithmic management, and sustainable technologies in improving supply chain resilience through the mediating role of digital dexterity at Kubaisa Cement Plant.
The study adopted a descriptive analytical approach, and collected data from a sample of 140 employees working, at the plant through a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through Smart PLS 4.
The findings revealed that the plant demonstrates favorable, levels of algorithmic management, sustainable technologies, digital dexterity, and supply chain resilience. The results also indicated significant positive effects, of algorithmic management and sustainable technologies on supply chain resilience, as well as a significant positive effect of digital dexterity on supply chain resilience. Furthermore. The findings showed that digital dexterity plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between sustainable technologies and supply chain resilience. However, no significant mediating role was found for digital dexterity in the relationship between algorithmic management and supply chain resilience.
These findings highlight the strategic importance, of integrating sustainable technologies with digital capabilities to strengthen, supply chain resilience within manufacturing organizations. The study also provides practical implications for industrial managers, regarding the importance of investing in sustainable technologies, and enhancing employees’ digital dexterity to improve responsiveness to operational changes, adapt to environmental and competitive challenges, and achieve long-term operational sustainability.
