Supply Chain Financing System Factors, Solutions, and Benefits: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) improves the business efficiency and effectiveness of suppliers, distributors, buyers, and financial institutions within supply chain collaboration. SCF implementation has risen to prominence worldwide, smoothing physical, product, and information flows within the supply chain as a means of maximizing profits. Due to a lack of research into SCF-related factors, solutions and benefits, this paper utilizes a systematic literature review methodology and content analysis to examine 56 papers drawn from major academic databases. The findings incorporate theoretical framework reviews which help to explain how SCF solutions can leverage enhanced supply chain (SC) performance by demonstrating the potential application of SCF to assist facilitators, reduce obstacles to sustained SC performance and develop an integrated conceptual framework illustrating how SCF accelerated overall supply chain performance.
