This paper explores the role of Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on supply chain management (SCM) through an extensive literature review. Important aspects of IoT in SCM are covered including IoT definition, main IoT technology enablers and various SCM processes and applications. We offer several categorisation of the extant literature, such as based on methodology, industry sector and focus on a classification based on major supply chain processes. In addition, a bibliometric analysis of the literature is also presented. We find that most studies have focused on conceptualising the impact of IoT with limited analytical models and empirical studies. In addition, most studies have focused on the delivery supply chain process and the food and manufacturing supply chains. Areas of future SCM research that can support IoT implementation are also identified.

“…For instance the RFID uses radio waves to exchange data between a reader and electronic tags attached on objects. The data on the tags can be read and written to facilitate the identification and tracking of the objects in warehouses (Chen et. al., 2013).…”

The paper investigates warehousing and material handling practices in the civil service of Ghana. The purpose is to ascertain the level of transition from fully manual operations to the integration of technology in warehousing and material handling operations in selected Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). Data were collected from 40 MMDAs cross the current 10 regions of Ghana. The study noted among others that, most warehouses lacked basic mechanical equipment for effective and efficient operations. Warehouse automation was completely non-existent in all selected Assemblies. In the case of material handling, the research discovered that very little effort has been made to equip employees with the requisite handling equipment for the execution of tasks. The study further revealed that there was virtually no in-service training on effective material handling practices in the civil service of Ghana. Indeed, practitioners most often use their bare hands and feet in handling all forms of materials including hazardous chemicals. The study also indicated that, on few instances where some handling and protective equipment were made available, most employees refused to use them citing reasons that bother on culture and tradition. The study concludes that it is imperative for authorities to put in place policies to protect practitioners in the execution of tasks. Thus, there should be an efficient change management system to ensure a gradual paradigm shift from obsolete warehousing and material handling practices to a much-integrated system where aspects of manual, mechanical and automated systems are combined.

“…The move from adopting a warehouse management system and bar code system to Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Voice Picking Systems, and further to Global Positioning System (GPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) can be observed throughout recent years. There is an increasing number of literature investigating the use of RFID in logistics, supply chain and warehouse operations (Angeles, 2005;Chow et al, 2006;Gonzalez et al, 2006;Yan et al, 2008;Ballestín et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2013;Royoa et al, 2013). Mayer (2015) analysed various scenarios of RFID applications in a third-party logistics warehouse, ranging from full pallet or item level RFID-tagging.…”
