Educational supply chain is the structured network for the procurement, acquisition, storage and distribution of learning resources, textbooks, digital content, stationery and teaching aids to institutions of learning. Nevertheless, numerous tahfiz institutions are still confronted with various problems in terms of accessibility and distribution of teaching materials that directly affect the sustainability and standard of Islamic education. This review was purposed to explore strategies to enhance the supply chain of educational materials in tahfiz institutions, which would ensure resource availability and promote efficient learning of Islam. This paper investigates, using a narrative review approach, the optimisation of supply chain management for educational resources in tahfiz institutions. The results of the narrative review revealed several approaches to explore the optimisation of supply chain management for educational materials in tahfiz institutions, including: (a) implementing a structured inventory management system; (b) consolidating educational material suppliers; (c) introducing digital distribution of learning materials; and (d) establishing strategic partnerships for material delivery. In summary, the enhancement of the supply chain for educational inputs in tahfiz institutions proposed a unique alternative for operational optimisation and educational outcomes with the use of organised inventory systems, supply base rationalisation, digital dissemination, and strategic partnerships.
