Ensuring the resilience of global supply chains of manufacturing enterprises through the digitalization of logistics processes

Abstract

The current functioning of manufacturing enterprises is characterized by increased economic and geopolitical uncertainty, fragmentation of global markets, and a higher frequency of system failures, which heightens the vulnerability of global supply chains. Disruptions in logistics flows, asymmetry of information between participants, and limited ability to coordinate management decisions make it difficult to ensure the continuity and stability of enterprise production. In these conditions, the search for practical tools to enhance supply chain resilience becomes particularly relevant. The purpose of the article is to outline the directions and mechanisms for ensuring the resilience of manufacturing enterprises' global supply chains amid global economic and political instability by digitalizing logistics processes. The research methods are based on the application of systemic and structural-functional approaches, logical-analytical generalization, comparative analysis, and theoretical modeling, which enabled the investigation of the relationship between the digital transformation of logistics and the sustainability of global supply chains. Results. The study found that supply chain resilience is a complex property that combines the ability to resist, adapt, recover, and transform. It is established that the digitalization of logistics processes ensures the transition from reactive response to failures to proactive risk management. It is proven that an increase in logistics' digital maturity directly enhances global supply chains' ability to counter destabilizing influences. Key scientific and practical problems in ensuring resilience are identified, including technological fragmentation, information asymmetry, and institutional constraints. Conclusions. It is proven that digital logistics tools, when used in an integrated and coordinated manner, can significantly increase the stability, adaptability, and continuity of global supply chains for manufacturing enterprises. Prospects for further research include the development of quantitative methods for assessing resilience, the analysis of industry differences in the impact of logistics digitalization, and the study of the interaction between digital solutions and regulatory and geopolitical risk factors.
