This research investigates the effect of Digital Supply Chains on Inventory Management efficiency in the retail sector in Egypt. The research focuses on four main dimensions of Digital Supply Chains: Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and Real-Time Visibility, and their effect on the four dimensions of Inventory Management efficiency: Cost Efficiency, Time Efficiency, Accuracy, and Flexibility and Responsiveness. The empirical analysis is based on responses from 136 managers and employees working in supply chain, logistics, and inventory management departments at Carrefour Egypt, Zara Egypt, and Spinneys Egypt. Using quantitative methods and structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the study identifies significant positive effect of Digital Supply Chains in optimizing Inventory Management efficiency. The results provide both theoretical contributions to the literature on supply chain digitalization and practical recommendations for retailers in Egypt aiming to optimize their inventory operations.
