“…Although research in Supply 4.0 is still in its infancy, scholars believe that Supply 4.0 will create considerable benefits to manufacturers [ 5 , 8 , 12 , 28 ]. However, it is also argued that to successfully implement Supply 4.0, it is imperative to thoroughly understand the evolution of traditional SCs to Supply 4.0 [ 66 ]. Frederico et al [ 5 ] argued that implementing Supply 4.0 requires two key enablers: capabilities and environment.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) and its benefits and challenges are the most emergent research topics among academics and practitioners. With supply chains (SCs) gaining rapid complexity, having high supply chain visibility (SCV) would help companies ease the processes and reduce complexity by improving inaccuracies. Extant literature has given attention to the organisation’s capability to collect and evaluate information to balance between strategy and goals. The majority of studies focus on investigating IoT’s impact on different areas such as sustainability, organisational structure, lean manufacturing, product development, and strategic management. However, research investigating the relationships and impact of IoT on SCV is minimal. This study closes this gap using a structured literature review to critically analyse existing literature to synthesise the use of IoT applications in SCs to gain visibility, and the SC. We found key IoT technologies that help SCs gain visibility, and seven benefits and three key challenges of these technologies. We also found the concept of Supply 4.0 that grasps the element of Industry 4.0 within the SC context. This paper contributes by combining IoT application synthesis, enablers, and challenges in SCV by highlighting key IoT technologies used in the SCs to gain visibility. Finally, the authors propose an empirical research agenda to address the identified gaps.

“…these benefits are gained through new technologies exploited within the SC, e.g. IoT makes SC management more efficient, Blockchain technology allows real-time tracking and improvement of passengers and goods throughout the SCM, CC assimilation promotes cooperation among SC members, etc [67]. In addition, Industry 4.0 itself helps industries integrate actions to protect and control the environment by converting supply chains to sustainable supply chains 4.0 [68], on condition that the I4.0 potential is understood through a successful adoption and diffusion of its new technologies [69].…”

the last decade has witnessed the birth of technological advances such as the IoT, artificial intelligence, machine learning and augmented reality. These technologies have driven the transition to Industry 4.0 where they have enabled the digitization of manufacturing with potential gain. Also Industry 4.0 has given birth to several new hybrid concepts as well as several management operations to take advantage and become more efficient by using IoT and these new technologies. In our paper, we discuss the effect of Industry 4.0 on management and quality practices by answering the following questions based on the literature review: What is the positive effect of Industry 4.0 on quality improvement and operations management? How does Industry 4.0 integrate concepts (Lean, Six Sigma, Supply Chain ...) to create new paradigms?

“…While, Supply Chain 4.0 reorganizes supply networks at all levels-design, design, production, distribution, consumption, and reverse logistics-to create a more efficient and efficient supply chain. These technologies, which were first launched in the twenty-first century, are primarily used by high-revenue firms that are pioneers in supply chain management and at the forefront of innovation (Zekhnini et al, 2020, Ghobakhloo, 2020.…”

“…Manufacturing processes have begun to acquire scalable flexibility, from huge stocks to low speed and postponed product setup, offering maximum value for money with high levels of flexibility in combination with demand management methods. The effects of new technology on distinct supply chain processes are identified by (Zekhnini et al, 2020) that SC4.0 is an advanced framework with interconnected processes, from unconnected applications to a wide-ranging, coordinated and effective interaction between SC stages. There are several kinds of supply chain management processes and each contains several activities in these four categories: planning, procurement, production and delivery.…”

One of the most remarkable features in the 20th century was the digitalization of technical progress, which changed the output of companies worldwide and became a defining feature of the century. The growth of information technology systems and the implementation of new technical advances, which enhance the integrity, agility and long-term organizational performance of the supply chain, can distinguish a digital supply chain from other supply chains. For example, the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled information exchange and Big Data analysis might be used to regulate the mismatch between supply and demand. In order to assess contemporary ideas and concepts in the field of data analysis in the context of supply chain management, this literary investigation has been decided. The research was conducted in the form of a comprehensive literature review. In the SLR investigation, a total of 71 papers from leading journals were used. SLR has found that data analytics integrate into supply chain management can have long-term benefits on supply chain management from the input side, i.e., improved strategic development, management and other areas.
