This research underlines how digital innovations, big data analytics, e-business strategies, and IoT-enabled visibility tools have enhanced the operational activities of supply chains and led to improved on-time delivery in FMCG industries. The real-life examples in the emerging and developed markets elaborate on the problems and solutions in implementing effective strategies of SCM. The paper also deliberates how integrated SCM models lead to customer retention and loyalty, thereby resulting in competitive advantage in the dynamism of FMCGs.
