The study delves into how effective supply chain management practices can significantly influence decision-making outcomes. It discusses the challenges faced by managers in making informed decisions amidst complex supply chain environments and the importance of adopting strategic approaches to enhance operational efficiency. The paper further investigates various decision-making models and tools used in the field of supply chain management, emphasizing the role of technology and data analytics in driving better decisions. Additionally, the study examines the impact of environmental factors, such as economic instability and regulatory changes, on supply chain decision-making.
