ABSTRACT

This study conducts a systematic analysis of the impact of supply chain digital transformation on the operational efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), exploring the critical role of digital technologies in enhancing supply chain management. Through field research and case studies, this paper focuses on examining the application effects of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence across various stages of SME supply chains, revealing the practical value of digital transformation in optimizing operational processes and controlling costs. The research finds that supply chain digital transformation can significantly improve SMEs' efficiency in order processing, inventory management, and logistics distribution, while also facing practical challenges such as technological application barriers and implementation path selection. Based on empirical analysis, the study proposes a phased digital implementation strategy tailored to the characteristics of SMEs and offers actionable recommendations from both corporate and policy perspectives, providing theoretical guidance and practical references for SMEs to advance supply chain digital transformation.
