This page interprets the term digital supply chain as relating to supply chain processes involved in the delivery of digital media only. This is a narrow interpretation of the term. I have checked with others and we believe the wider interpretation applies, ie it is the use of digital (information technology) techniques to optimise the supply chain associated with the delivery of any good or service. See:-

https://whatis.ciowhitepapersreview.com/definition/digital-supply-chain/

I suggest renaming the page as it stands to Digital supply chain (electronic media), indicate that it is a type of Digital supply chain and reference the old page which should be changed to define the more wide interpretation of the term.

Poorly Constructed Article

It looks to me like most of this article is an advertisement for Tony Hines and his book. There is a major lack of citations, and the second paragraph about his book doesn't really have much to do with Digital Supply Chains themselves. If anything, it broadens the definition of the Digital Supply Chain rather than narrowing things down for the reader. This expansion on Business, fashion design and product development has nothing to do with the first paragraph, nor the rest of the article. Nojoi4l (talk) 14:08, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In order to improve this article, it is clear that more notable citations will be needed to support the content. I have noticed several reversions from @MrOllie: I wanted to confront these reversion efforts. I would like to ask your opinion on the following content/sourcing before I publish anything to the page. Do these sources meet your standards for edits to the Quality Control section?^[1]^[2]

Thank you for your help in improving this page. Nojoi4l (talk) 17:20, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They both look like sponsored content (from Tektronix and Interra Systems, respectively). Reliable sources aren't typically written by people trying to sell us something such as application engineers (tech company salesman) or corporate VPs. We need to be careful to use only sources that have a reputation for reliability and independent editorial process. In this field there is no shortage of academic work, so there is no reason to resort to this kind of thing (and the blogs and vendor sources I have removed previously). I suggest starting on Google Scholar. - MrOllie (talk) 17:34, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name Change Proposal

I would like to propose changing the name of this page from 'Digital supply chain' to 'Digital media supply chain'.

We need to separate the digital supply chain techniques for any good from the application of it for non-media. There's a difference between what the supply chain actually is, and what the techniques are used for. Nojoi4l (talk) 19:25, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
