Digitalization Of The Supply Chain And Improvement Of Human Resource Competencies As Drivers Of The Future Economy

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of supply chain digitalization and human resource competency improvement in driving Indonesia's future economic growth. In the era of Industry 4.0 and moving towards Society 5.0, digital transformation in the supply chain is key to improving efficiency, transparency, and national competitiveness. On the other hand, strengthening the capacity and adaptability of human resources is necessary so that technology can be utilized optimally. The methodology used in this study is descriptive quantitative, with an additional qualitative approach through literature studies and secondary data analysis from national and international reports related to digitization, supply chain management, and HR competency development in the digital economy framework. The results of the study show that the integration of digital technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in the supply chain can accelerate the flow of goods and information. However, without adaptive and competent human resources, digitization will not have the maximum impact. This research contributes to providing strategic policy recommendations for the government and industry players to strengthen digital infrastructure and expand human resource competency development programs. Thus, the synergy between technology and human resources can become the main driver of inclusive and sustainable economic development in Indonesia.
