Abstract

This research examines the concept of supply chain complexity and evaluates how effectively current supply chain management strategies deal with it, encompassing processes, resources, and data. Extensive research was conducted on managing supply chain complexity. Research indicates that supply chain management efforts assist companies in navigating the intricacies of their supply networks by managing interactions and reducing uncertainty. Regarding the management of supply chain complexity, the poll findings highlight the key abilities that should be prioritised. Furthermore, current approaches, methods, and technologies in supply chain management are effective in managing supply chain complexities. Further, it lays the groundwork for studies that will focus on supply chain complexity management in the future.
