“Roadmap” for Managing Digital Supply Chains in China's Transport and Logistics Networks

The article examines the key aspects of developing a “roadmap” for managing digital supply chains in China's transport and logistics networks. The relevance of the topic is driven by the need to modernize logistics infrastructure as part of the “Belt and Road Initiative”, as well as by China's growing role as a global logistics and trade hub amid complex economic and political conditions. The growth of international trade and the transition to sustainable development models require the implementation of innovative approaches capable of ensuring the flexibility and adaptability of supply chain management in China's transport and logistics networks. The aim of the study is to develop a “roadmap” for managing digital supply chains in China's transport and logistics networks. This process includes an analysis of key technological and managerial solutions aimed at the digital transformation of the country's logistics system, improving its efficiency, transparency, and adaptability to global challenges. The methodology is based on the principles of system-evolutionary analysis, which allows for identifying the interconnections between fundamental logistics paradigms and their dynamics in the context of digital transformation. This conceptual approach is complemented by road mapping, facilitating structured and long-term change planning. The novelty of the research lies in a comprehensive and multi-level approach to digitalizing supply chains, ensuring the adaptability, efficiency, and sustainability of China's logistics system in response to modern technological and economic challenges. The study's results confirm that the development and implementation of the “roadmap” for digital supply chain management not only enhance the efficiency of the transport and logistics system but also establish a sustainable foundation for long-term development, strengthening China's international position. The practical implementation of the “roadmap” creates a platform for the harmonious development of transport and logistics systems, fostering collaboration among participating countries within a unified digital space.
