Project Management in Supply Chains in the Context of Digitalization Processes

Abstract

The modern development of digital technologies is transforming traditional approaches to project management. Therefore, there is a need to use unique platforms and applications that automate business processes and analyze data flows. Supply chains are a source of microeconomic stability for an enterprise in the global market. Uninterrupted business operation in the face of socio-economic and geopolitical instability is a critical factor in achieving competitive advantages in the chosen market segment. The article aims to study the peculiarities of project management in supply chains in the context of digitization processes as a local concept. It contains a clear procedural order and is divided into some stages, during which specific analytical and business processes occur. As the world becomes increasingly digitized, the complexity of the supply chain, logistics routes, optimal choice of tariffs, and other factors of supply chain organization are highly variable. This creates a demand for high-quality software applications that analyze information promptly and allow for the most rational decision-making. Under such circumstances, the study results show the current features of project management and local project management in supply chains. They are mainly based on using particular digital infrastructure or information platforms that facilitate the work with such applications. In the context of unstable geographical suppliers and changing geopolitical leadership in commodity markets, it is a strategically important task for any enterprise. Moreover, the article examines the peculiarities of organizing a supply chain project, as well as the key critical stages of its functioning and the modern digital infrastructure used to manage such projects. The results of the study results also outline the prospects for the formation of digital technologies to ensure the stable operation of the corporate sector in selected market segments.
