Technological Sustainability of Supply Chain Management in Food and Beverage Sector

Over the course of the last 10 years, companies involved in the supply chain have been confronted with a myriad of issues, the most of which can be traced back to modifications in the external environment, such as technical considerations. In addition to the issues that were already present, the recent pandemic generated a new set of challenges for supply chain companies, which had a direct impact on the continuity and sustainability of their businesses. By looking at the ways in which technology is being used to improve the long-term viability of supply chain organisations, this study takes into consideration the changes that were implemented in response to the pandemic, particularly in the food and drink industry. This study was conducted based on a critical literature assessment, and it asks for additional supply chain management research to be conducted in this field. Several ideas have been discussed to better understand the role of technology in the sector. The findings of the study make it clear that the benefits of technological sustainability and ease of use go a long way towards promoting the use of technology and enabling companies to effectively utilise technology within supply chain companies. The study adds to the literature as it integrates technology with the supply chain in the food and beverage sector, a path that is not well researched in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
