Impacts of Technology on Supply Chain Management: Evidence from LEED-Certified Ready-Made Garment Companies of Bangladesh
Keywords:
Supply chain management, logistics management, technology integration, LEED-certification, readymade garment sector, BangladeshAbstract
Abstract: This study investigates the impact of technology on supply chain management and logistics in Bangladesh’s ready made garment (RMG) industry. With the sector experiencing significant technological advancements such as RFID, AI, and blockchain, the focus is on how these tools drive operational efficiency in inventory management, production, and transportation. Employing a qualitative methodology, semi-structured interviews with six supply chain managers provided in-depth insights. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to uncover key trends and challenges. The research highlights the role of technology in enhancing sustainability and ethical sourcing while identifying key challenges like infrastructure gaps, cost constraints, and workforce skill limitations. The findings aim to provide valuable insights for industry stakeholders and contribute to ongoing debates on technology integration in RMG supply chains.
