Abstract

In the context of digital transformation, supply chains contend with various challenges, and reconfiguration of supply chain design has obtained significant consideration in today’s digital era. This paper aims to reveal the adaptability of Industry 4.0 technologies to risk mitigation in supply chain design and develop a conceptual Framework. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to create a conceptual risk mitigation framework and validated it through a comprehensive questionnaire collected by industrial and academic experts and academics and carried out the pairwise comparison between the main criteria and sub-criteria The contribution of this study lies in the taxonomy study, and findings revealed that digitalisation of supply chain design for risk mitigation shed light on future research. Additionally, it focuses on the potential to enhance supply networks’ efficiency and responsiveness.
