Abstract

The digital supply chain is a new approach to rapid change and the emergence and application of new technologies. This approach helps to integrate chain activities and meet the demands and needs of customers. Implementing this approach in the food industry needs special features and requirements that this research identifies and models using an interpretive structural modeling approach. The results of this study showed that the criteria of technology infrastructure, organizational leadership and organizational culture are considered as the basic criteria for implementing the digital supply chain. At the next level, there are employee participation, strategic alignment and staff training and development. At the third level, there are technological awareness and project management system. At the second level, there are data standardization, technological products and technology maturity, and at the first level, there are data security, technology trust, technology compatibility and technology communications. MICMAC analysis also showed that two criteria of technological awareness and project management system are key criteria in the implementation of digital supply chain in the food industry.
