This study aims to identify various Industry 4.0 technological enablers and analyze their relationships in achieving transparency in sustainable supply chains. Initially, 17 Industry 4.0 technological enablers were selected based on an extensive literature review of sustainable supply chains and evaluated through Systems and Information Processing theories. Using the fuzzy Delphi method, these enablers were then narrowed down to 14 relevant ones. The reliability of these enablers was assessed by measuring their internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha (α) and McDonald's omega (ω). The fuzzy Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method was then used to demonstrate that blockchain, cybersecurity, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI) are the most prominent and influential enablers for enhancing transparency in a sustainable supply chain. Additionally, the cause–effect relationship of other key enablers provides evidence for a feasibility study that links sustainability with transparency across the supply chain. These identified Industry 4.0 technological enablers can assist external stakeholders and policymakers in improving transparency and advancing sustainable supply chain practices.

模糊环境下可持续供应链透明度的工业 4.0 技术推动因素分析


本研究旨在确定各种工业 4.0 技术推动因素，并分析它们在实现可持续供应链透明度方面的关系。最初，根据对可持续供应链的广泛文献回顾，选择了 17 个工业 4.0 技术推动因素，并通过系统和信息处理理论进行了评估。使用模糊德尔菲法，这些促成因素被缩小到 14 个相关因素。这些促成因素的可靠性是通过使用克朗巴赫阿尔法 (α) 和麦当劳欧米茄 (ω) 测量其内部一致性来评估的。然后使用模糊决策试验和评估实验室（DEMATEL）方法来证明区块链、网络安全、大数据和人工智能（AI）是提高可持续供应链透明度的最突出和最有影响力的推动因素。此外，其他关键推动因素的因果关系为将可持续性与整个供应链的透明度联系起来的可行性研究提供了证据。这些确定的工业 4.0 技术推动因素可以帮助外部利益相关者和政策制定者提高透明度并推进可持续供应链实践。
