Abstract
Between 2019 and 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and geopolitical tensions caused significant disruptions in global supply chains, leading to a worldwide shortage of chips. The resulting bullwhip effect led to excess inventories of electronic components at OEMs, CMs, and EMS providers within the SME sector. Using a systematic literature review, this paper investigates how distributors and digital platforms can assist SMEs in the chip industry in managing and optimising their excess inventories. Additionally, it analyses how data transparency influences the efficiency of inventory management. The findings provide practical strategies to support SMEs in efficiently managing and sustainably optimising their inventories, while promoting the circular economy. In addition, they provide the basis for future empirical research, as only few empirical studies have explored the connection between data transparency and the reduction of excess inventories. The role of distributors in the implementation of digital solutions for surplus management also remains underexplored.
