“…First, Stephens and Valverde (2013) point out in their research study the growing importance of security in the field of procurement and supply chain management, especially 969 Digitisation of procurement and supply chains with regard to a number of virtual information flows and automated transactions. Barron et al (2016) highlight cybersecurity in the supply chain overall and possible risks for organisations in cases of a malevolent attack. Therefore, it is essential to extend the developments of security and related security systems within the supply chain based on a common approach by including all supply chain parties and create common solutions and systems to secure the future common supply chain ecosystems against external violence ( Johnson, 2013).…”

“…Furthermore, the survey results highlight the support function of predictive analytical tools and algorithms to automate and speed-up transactions and processes. Due to the increasing amount of virtual information flows and automated transactions the importance of cybersecurity is rapidly increasing (Barron et al, 2016). The survey results point out the importance to manage this issue based on a cross-functional approach including all supply chain parties to define appropriate solutions and systems to ensure the security of the common supply chain ecosystems against external violence.…”

Purpose While digitisation is a key driver of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0); organisations have different approaches to deal with this topic to get a clearer picture of the opportunities and challenges concerning the digital transformation. The purpose of this paper is to identify the impact of digitisation on procurement and its role within the area of supply chain management. The research will also explore potential barriers to digitising procurement and supply chains and ways to overcome them. Finally, the significance of potential enabling technologies to the digitisation will also be examined. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approached utilising an online survey was used to collect the primary data for this study. Data were collected from 414 participants directly involved with procurement or related business functions and work for different organisations in different industries. The survey included eight items about the impact of digitisation on organisational performance in the area of procurement and supply chains; ten items related to key barriers to digitisation of organisations and ways to overcome them; and seven items about enabling technologies to leverage procurement procedures and processes digitisation. All of these items utilised the Likert five-point level of agreement scale. Findings The findings indicate that digitisation of procurement process can yield several benefits including: supporting daily business and administrative tasks, supporting complex decision-making processes, procurement will become more focussed on strategic decisions and activities, procurement will become a strategic interface to support organisational efficiency, effectiveness, and profitability, and supporting the creation of new business models, products, and services. The authors were also able to confirm that there are barriers to digitising procurement process and supply chains and such barriers found in existing procedures, processes, capacities, and capabilities. Finally, the significance of a number of enabling technologies to the digitisation process was revealed. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study of its kind with participants located world-wide. Industry 4.0 as a topic had been explored within different business areas and functions but very limited research specifically explored potential impact, barriers, and enabling technologies of procurement 4.0. The results can be beneficial for organisations already implemented Industry 4.0 or planning to do so. The study can also benefit academic scholars interested in the researched topic, business professionals, organisations within different sectors, and any other party interested in understanding more the concept of procurement 4.0.

“…Designing a standard data transmission protocol for communication and information transmission within IIP that is agreed upon by all stakeholder for smooth data transfer will also be crucial (Haddud et al , 2016; Zolnowski et al , 2016). Process redesign will prompt need of cybersecurity and trust with increase in automated transactions, availability of data and wireless transmission (Barron et al , 2016; Stephens and Valverde, 2014). Privacy and security concerns will intensify in buyer supplier relationship as more data will be exchanged (Osmonbekov and Johnston, 2018).…”

PurposeProcurement is a crucial part of supply chain management, consistently becoming a strategic vantage point in global competition. The industry 4.0 paradigm is transforming supply chains to smarter systems, giving rise to the concept of procurement 4.0. A systematic framework to transform in current scenario is crucial.Design/methodology/approachThis study brings together these current researches to propose a redesigned procurement process by combining several technologies. A BPR approach is taken to present the new process and its merits are discussed.FindingsA re-designed procurement framework is proposed. Radical improvements of cost, cycle time, human effort, degree of automation, traceability, information availability and uncertainty are achievable with the proposed framework.Practical implicationsThe proposed re-engineered process addresses the visualization barrier for managers. The proposed framework is grounded on BPR which provides a generic ground for developing redesign exercise along with the visualization of new process.Originality/valueThere is literature discussing implementation, impact and advantages of individual and combination of technologies on procurement process but lacks visualization of the transformed process combining these technologies.

“…Fu et al [21] acknowledge that the SC is subject to both internal and external risks. Barron et al [52] argue that the introduction of new technology into the SC introduces new risks, making SC risk management difficult. BC characteristics such as traceability, transparency and smart contracts can help with the identification of risks in the SC.…”
