This paper aims to elucidate the impact of digital transformation on enhancing supply chain management and improving the performance of small and medium industrial enterprises (SMEs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study is based on a comprehensive analysis of quantitative research employing structural equation modeling. The research focuses on testing hypotheses related to the influence of digital transformation on organizational performance and supply chain efficiency, as well as the mediating role of supply chain management in the relationship between digital transformation and overall performance. The review demonstrates that adopting digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data analytics, contributes to enhancing operational efficiency, increasing flexibility, and fostering innovation within the UAE’s industrial sector. As a result, digital transformation directly enhances service quality, boosts profitability, and drives business growth within the industrial sector of the UAE. The review also highlights gaps in the existing literature, such as the limited studies linking digital transformation to supply chain management and SME performance. Therefore, this paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the study's findings and theoretical frameworks, highlighting their significance in advancing business practices during the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
