Supply chain management can be viewed as an important part of a company's strategic strategy for increasing efficiency, results, and profitability. The aim of this paper is to us the fuzzy DEMATEL method to examine the impact of IT innovation on the operations of supply chain management of food industry in Nigeria. The study obtained sixteen (16) perspectives of impact of IT innovation on food industry SC management as obtain from literature and brain stormy of experts. A fuzzy Linguistic scale was developed and applies it to food manufacturing firms in Nigeria to test the level of the impact of IT innovation on supply chain management. The questionnaire designed for pairwise comparison to evaluate the influence of each score, where scores of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 represent: (no influence), (Very low influence), (low influence), (high influence) and (very high influence), respectively. Twelve experts were asked to complete the questionnaire comprises of 6 general managers, 6 Supply Chain managers all of food industry. Then the Fuzzy DEMATEL method was applied to analyze the importance of criteria and the casual relations among the criteria constructed. The result showed that the advanced planning system had the most impact and the strongest link to other criteria. As a result, APS is a key rationale and key criteria that influence other criteria and driving factors to solve problems.

Compared to the supply chain management of other business domains, agricultural supply chain management is affected with issues such as diversity of production and demand, the bulkiness of produce, perishability, seasonality, harvest uncertainty, and climate complexity. These issues are more prominent in rural agricultural sector. Availability of mature supply chain management processes and systems can enhance the productivity of rural agricultural communities. This chapter proposes a five-stage capability maturity model for the implementation and maintenance of supply chain management processes in farm management information systems. The capability maturity model is a valuable aid to determine the digitized supply chain process' ability to consistently and continuously achieve improvement and organizational objectives. The model is proposed based on the findings of the analysis of 121 supply chain management software in the farming sector, the Capability Maturity Model by the Software Engineering Institute, and the Supply Chain Process Management Maturity Model.

Today, the demand for creating a systematic approach for managing sales, ordering, and logistics has increased. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is one of the responses to problems that have arose with the need for managing complex supply chains. Nowadays, most of the activities of Supply Chain Management is realized or supported with computing technologies. Route planning is an important part of Supply Chain Management related to both procurement and distribution. Route planning systems specify the sequences in which the selected transport vehicles should supply the demand points by requested quantities of goods at the right time. The paper is focused on the analysis of a route planning system which could be used as a part of Supply Chain Management information system or as a standalone application. It describes basic techniques and frameworks of transportation problems as well as important functional requirements, considering recent trends in the field of distribution planning. As a result, functional specification of basic features and other components of system are provided. The paper is a result of a joint initiative of the authors and a vendor of business information systems.
