The Trigger Factors and Constraints on e-Supply Chain Processes: A Systematic Literature Review

The development of information technology will certainly have a major influence on all aspects of life, not least for companies engaged in the supply chain. The role of information technology and electronic networks in running a supply chain is called the Electronic Supply Chain (e-Supply Chain). The main point of this research is to conduct a literature review to find the trigger factors and constraints in the e-supply chain. This research uses the Systematic Literature Review methodology to collect selected research articles. The steps in defining the selected article use PRISMA. Keywords used for article search are ('Trigger' OR 'Driving') AND 'Factors' AND 'Constraints' AND ('Supply Chain' OR 'SC') AND (' electronics supply chain' OR 'e-supply chain') AND 'Processes'. Source of data used includes: Elsevier, ACM Digital Library, Emerald Insight, IEEE Explore, Inder science publisher, and Springer. Based on the literature review that was carried out, the resulting trigger factors in the e-supply chain, including: Integrated supply chain system, IT Support, Service quality; while the constraints include: A supply chain network cyber attack, Manufacturing, storage or distribution problems, Operational, economic, environmental and social factors, Restrictive government regulations, Costs and logistics performance, cost of raw materials, Post-harvest waste, Global / digital markets, product life cycles, consumer demand, Logistics strategy, Global competitiveness, Internationalization of markets and climate change.
