Keywords:
Industry, supplyAbstract
This research paper provides a review of the literature on the application of Industry 4.0 technologies in supply chain management. The paper first defines Industry 4.0 and its main technologies, including the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and robotics. The paper then reviews the existing literature on the use of these technologies in various supply chain functions, such as procurement, inventory management, logistics, and customer service. The paper also discusses the challenges and opportunities that arise with the implementation of Industry 4.0 in supply chain management. Finally, the paper proposes future research directions for scholars and practitioners to advance the understanding and application of Industry 4.0 in supply chain management.
