This empirical study article explores the role of supply chain management (SCM) in the context of rail transportation and provides an outline of SCM. Effective supply chain management techniques are crucial for the smooth running of the rail industry, which plays a vital part in global logistics networks. The study looks at a number of SCM-related topics in rail transport, such as logistics planning, inventory control, transportation, and supply chain partner cooperation. To assess their perceptions of SCP in transport coordinated factors from the expense and administration viewpoints, a survey and interviews with the rail transport logistics industry were undertaken. The study's findings demonstrated that rail transportation has reached a particular level of maturity and sophistication in its SCP. The influence of SCM on rail transport efficiency, cost savings, and customer satisfaction is examined using empirical data and industry case studies. The study's conclusions offer management guidance to the rail industry so they may comprehend their SCP in transport coordinated operations and recognize regions for development. The results emphasize the value of SCM in streamlining rail transport operations and offer guidance for both scholars and industry professionals.
