Ideas for future research

Nowadays, technology is making progresses very quickly. It will certainly be possible to find more effective solutions than those proposed in the coming years. However, this work can be considered as a theoretical proposal that lacks a practical implementation that could be carried out in the near future to verify qualitatively and quantitatively the achievable improvements. To do this, a validation process is necessary at the end of which a comparison can be made between the Traditional and Digital Supply Chain to better understand the benefits that the digitalization can bring in the Supply Chain processes.
