“…However, asset-focused twins do not adequately reflect the diverse application fields and implementation possibilities of the whole DSCT concept [17]. Especially in the context of LSCM, with all its complex challenges such as increasing customer requirements in terms of speed and flexibility [18] or responding efficiently to volatile markets [19], the DSCT has to be considered in a very differentiated context as opposed to "classical" research on DT.…”

Background: Digital supply chain twins (DSCT) are gaining increased attention in academia and practice as they emerge as one of the most important trends in logistics and supply chain management (LSCM). Still, there seems to be no common understanding of the term in scientific literature. Moreover, the broad field of LSCM allows for a multitude of feasible application areas and use cases, yet there exists no conclusive list of them as to date. Methods: This study builds upon a systematic literature review of 66 DSCT articles to identify application areas of DSCT in LSCM as well as specific use cases and their respective intended benefits. Results: To start with, the study derives a unified definition of DSCTs, including possible scopes of applications. Afterwards, five application areas of DSCT in LSCM are synthesized as well as 14 individual use cases and their respective intended benefits. Conclusions: The study leads towards a conceptual clarification of DSCT that is of importance for research and practice alike. For managers it additionally provides up-to-date use cases to guide DSCT applications in practice.

“…At the same time, companies increased their service orientation, mainly through a shift from a seller's to a buyer's market ( [3], p. 5), which leads to an increase in the diversity of goods and customization of individual goods. On the one hand, they are highly complex and, on the other hand, they require the highest degree of flexibility [4] and efficient responsiveness to volatile markets [5] at very low costs.…”

Towards Digital Twins of Multimodal Supply Chains

et al. 2021

Both modern multi- and intermodal supply chains pose a significant challenge to control and maintain while offering numerous optimization potential. Digital Twins have been proposed to improve supply chains. However, as of today, they are only used for certain parts of the entire supply chain. This paper presents an initial framework for a holistic Digital Supply Chain Twin (DSCT) capable of including an entire multimodal supply chain. Such a DSCT promises to enable several improvements all across the supply chain while also be capable of simulating and evaluate several different scenarios for the supply chain. Therefore, the DSCT will not only be able to optimize multi- and intermodal supply chains but also makes them potentially more robust by identifying possible issues early on. This paper discusses the major requirements that such a DSCT must fulfil to be useful and how several information technologies that matured in recent years or are about the mature are the key enablers to fulfil these requirements. Finally, a suggested high-level architecture for such a DSCT is presented as a first step towards the realization of a DSCT, as presented in this work
