Development and Impact of Supply Chain Management or SCM 4.0 in Indonesia

The key to Supply Chain Management / SCM 4.0 is technology. In this fourth-generation supply chain management, the presence of supercomputers, smart robots, driverless vehicles, the development of neurotechnology, and various other things that can make it easier to optimize brain function will dominate. Supply Chain Management 4.0 aims to increase the digitization of the supply chain so that it is more efficient in meeting customer needs. However, its presence is also considered to be able to make technology disruption occur more rapidly, thus threatening the existence of existing companies and forcing them to leave their comfort zone. In addition, another challenge that will arise is the reduction in field work because almost all processes are run by machines.

Development of Supply Chain Management (SCM) 4.0 in Indonesia
Indonesian business actors have actually realized the impact of the development of Supply Chain Management 4.0 in Indonesia. In supply chain management 4.0, many business people use one form of data storage technology and common computing information (cloud computing). In addition, they can also take advantage of digital supply chain application technology to connect producers and consumers.

SCM 4.0 is marked by the presence of supercomputers, smart robots, neurotechnology, and so on. However, in Indonesia not all of these technologies can be adopted. Business actors in Indonesia can only apply cloud computing (Cloud Environment) and the Internet of Things) IoT. This is because business people in the country are not really ready to take steps to change. In fact, some of them think that the transformation to supply chain management 4.0 is not necessary.

Impact of Supply Chain Management 4.0
The presence of Supply Chain Management 4.0 is believed to make the company's supply chain able to adjust to market needs in the future. The higher the demands of consumers, the SCM players need a system that can support the production process to be faster, more efficient, accurate, and flexible.

Supply Chain Management 4.0 is closely related to the use of advanced robotics and the application of IoT which can be used as a strategy that makes suppliers become business partners in the long term (Close-longterm Strategy Relationship). In addition, in Supply Chain Management 4.0 there is also big data analysis in the form of scheduling, shipping, inventory planning, distribution, demand forecasting, and warehousing that can make the supply chain run more optimally.

Although it is considered to be able to optimize the function of the supply chain in a company, Supply Chain Management 4.0 is also predicted to create new challenges that make it difficult for businesses and workers alike. The reason is, in this supply chain, work that was originally done by humans will be replaced by machines. It is feared that it will narrow employment opportunities for humans. In addition, many companies now have to start preparing for change due to the rapid disruption of technology that forces them to move out of their comfort zone.

This is a review of the development of Supply Chain Management 4.0 in Indonesia and its impact on business people. To face these challenges, companies must be able to adapt and react quickly so that they can remain highly competitive.
