Description
Summary:This paper aims to explore how to optimise the efficiency of food and beverage supply chains by focusing on transportation and mobility. This paper highlights the role of advanced technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) in traceability, demand prediction, and real-time equipment monitoring. It also points out that sustainable practises such as eco-friendly packaging, optimised logistics, and collaborative planning can reduce environmental footprints and operating costs. Moreover, it stresses challenges such as time variability, perishability, and regulatory compliance, and the need for adapting to consumer trends. This paper holds value as a possible introductory text for the extensive realm of sustainable supply chain management and it could assist practitioners in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the extensive academic literature.
