Abstract

Today, Supply Chain Management or SCM is a key factor in the agribusiness. During 2022-2024, as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine, the exchange of goods and services is essential for survival, with the supply and demand of sufficient, healthy and safe food being vital. The effect of the war is higher world inflation increasing to 15.7% during 2023, and before the war it was ≤ 4%, for example, the coffee price before the war was 103.01 cents USD*Lb and in 2023 it fluctuated between 151.95 and 162.31 cents, increased more than 60%. Added to this, sanctions on Russia increased the costs of N, P and K fertilizers by 200%.
On the other hand, mathematically modeling the elements involved in SCM is inevitable to ensure coffee quality, but above all to ensure resilience and governance that leads to optimal decision-making at a strategic, tactical and operational level. This research focuses on the thesis titled “Methodology for strategic decision making within the framework of digital transformation in the coffee supply chain (Coffea), case study Departments. Antioquía and Tolima -Colombia” with the aim of generating new high-impact knowledge for the sustainable coffee supply chain. Therefore, this advance relates the state of the art on SCM in favor of governance and resilience in coffee institutions.
The design of the supply chain network was described as part of the SCM procedure, which affects its costs and performances. For this, the following search equation was analyzed ("supply chain*" OR "generalized supply chain" OR "flexible supply chain" OR "supply chain network design" OR "optimize superstructure" ) AND ( coffee OR "coffee chain simulation" OR " coffee supply chain" OR "coffee producers" OR "coffee value chain") 452 documents were analyzed showing a trend towards sustainability and the consolidation of industry 4.0 and 5.0.
Likewise, the challenges for increasing the regional coffee competitiveness index, which seeks to ensure trust and institutional balance, were examined in the current Colombian context. As a consequence of this, market volatility and uncertainty following the Covid19 pandemic were evident, leading to the race for innovation and digital transformation in SCM at a global level. Consequently, technological innovations in coffee SCM have the potential to be used in optimal decision making. At the same time, the use of Big data, Artificial Intelligence AI, Machine Learning and Blockchain have had a gradual and gradual incorporation for the sake of greater traceability and information security, which is why it becomes a challenge within the productive and business work. In that sense, this work provides the most important research in relation to trends for the coffee chain, the optimization of SCM and its relevance and impact on society.
