Integrating technology, collaboration, and sustainability in supply chains and project management: A comprehensive review of efficiency, resilience, and strategic alignment

This study reviews the literature on Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Project Management (PM) to serve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through technological integration. Technological innovations may enhance operational efficiency and decision-making as per SDGs 8 and 9. However, the success of such innovations depends on managerial competency. In this regard, operational coordination can optimize multi-actor networks, which can improve resource allocation and productivity. Moreover, inter-organizational relationships would nurture governance and trust. Additionally, lifecycle project management and stakeholder engagement can enhance operational continuity and sustainability, which can further be supported by stochastic optimization and AI-enabled decision making. The study recommends to integrate circular economy, lean practices, and environmentally responsible frameworks with operational objectives to achieve SDGs. Thus, the interdependence of technology, human capital, governance, and strategy is necessary to achieve efficient SCM and PM.
