Algorithmic Governance and Ethical Risk Frameworks in Sustainable Supply Chain Automation

Autonomous procurement algorithms and predictive inventory systems are rapidly reconfiguring global supply chains. However, unintended biases and opaque decision matrices introduce systemic operational and labor risks. This systematic literature review synthesizes 142 peer-reviewed articles to propose an integrated 5-layer Algorithmic Supply Chain Governance (ASCG) framework, establishing accountability protocols for procurement algorithms.

Autonomous procurement algorithms and predictive inventory systems are rapidly reconfiguring global supply chains. However, unintended biases and opaque decision matrices introduce systemic operational and labor risks. This systematic literature review synthesizes 142 peer-reviewed articles to propose an integrated 5-layer Algorithmic Supply Chain Governance (ASCG) framework, establishing accountability protocols for procurement algorithms.
