Evaluating the Role of Cloud-Based Technologies in Enhancing Operational Efficiency in Global Supply Chains

Abstract

The increasing complexity of global supply chains and the need for real-time decision-making have led to the adoption of advanced technologies such as cloud computing. This paper evaluates the role of cloud-based technologies in improving operational efficiency across various industries within global supply chains. The research identifies key benefits such as enhanced collaboration, scalability, and real-time data access. Furthermore, it examines the impact of cloud computing on cost reduction, supply chain visibility, and agility. The study utilizes a comparative analysis of companies that have implemented cloud-based solutions and those relying on traditional systems. The findings suggest that cloud technologies provide a significant advantage in operational efficiency, with improved decision-making capabilities and reduced delays in the supply chain. This paper offers insights into how organizations can leverage cloud technologies to optimize their supply chain operations and remain competitive in the global market.
