The rental industry of diesel generators has gained significant prominence due to growing industrialization, infrastructural development, and the need for uninterrupted power supply. Supply Chain Management (SCM) plays a critical role in ensuring the availability, maintenance, and timely deployment of diesel generators, which are essential assets for industries, construction projects, and emergency services. This research paper examines the various components of SCM—procurement, inventory management, logistics, maintenance, and technology integration—in the context of diesel generator rental. It highlights the importance of SCM in enhancing operational efficiency, cost optimization, risk mitigation, and customer satisfaction. The paper also discusses the challenges faced by rental companies and explores emerging trends that can improve supply chain effectiveness in the sector. The study concludes that effective SCM is a strategic enabler for sustainable growth and competitive advantage in diesel generator rentals.
