Abstract(s)
In the ever-evolving landscape of global trade and manufacturing, supply chain resilience has emerged
as a vital concern for organizations operating in the manufacturing sector. This research study delves into
the critical domain of managing supply chain risk through the integration of Internet of Things (IoT)
technologies within the manufacturing sector of Pakistan. With the advent of Internet of Things, the
manufacturing industry in Pakistan has witnessed transformative opportunities to enhance operational
efficiency and mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities. This qualitative study engaged ten seasoned supply
chain professionals through in-depth interviews to discern the multifaceted impact of IoT integration on
risk management within the manufacturing sector. The results of this study, analyzed using thematic
analysis within Nvivo software, illuminate the implications of using the Internet of Things in supply
chain risk management, the aim is to understand how the Internet of things influences and impacts the
supply chain risk management process, both internally and externally, and the resulting outcomes. The
study is guided by the information processing theory and employs a methodology based on theory to
investigate the information requirements and processing capabilities of supply chain risk management
supported by the internet of things. The findings of the study reveal that the organizations involved
experienced increased data availability, which led to improved process transparency and management.
Supply chain risk management also showed enhancements across its various stages, including risk
transparency, risk awareness, and risk strategies. These improvements provided a competitive advantage
by aligning the information needs with the information processing capabilities. The study provides
detailed insights into the structure of internet of things systems, main use cases, and the impact on the
supply chain risk management process, offering valuable information for managers. It highlights the
benefits of increased data availability, improved process transparency, and management, as well as the
implications for personnel and potential barriers. The findings provide valuable insights for Supply chain
managers and pave the way for further research in this area.
