Improving supply chain resilience through industry 4.0: A systematic literature review under the impressions of the COVID-19 pandemic

“…BDA ( C ) refers to the combination of tools, techniques, and processes for integrating structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data from different sources into processable information as a basis for decision-making ( Biswas and Sen, 2016 , Dubey et al, 2021 , Er Kara, Oktay Fırat, & Ghadge, 2020 , Ivanov et al, 2019 ). A company’s ERP and CRM systems, machines, and cloud platforms, as well as external sources (e.g., web and social media pages) can therefore be leveraged ( Araz et al, 2020 , Choi et al, 2018 , Meriton, Bhandal, Graham, & Brown, 2020 ). Scholars have empirically proven that BDA supports SCRES and consider this technology a core element of future I4.0 SCRES initiatives ( Dubey et al, 2021 , Engelseth and Wang, 2018 , Ivanov and Dolgui, 2020a ).…”

“…For instance, BDA can support developing and executing continuity plans in times of SCDs ( Zouari, Ruel, & Viale, 2020 ). Furthermore, BDA can be combined with traditional simulation techniques to generate digital SC twins ( Meriton, Bhandal, Graham, & Brown, 2020 , Ivanov and Dolgui, 2020a ). These models can support understanding complex SCRES problems, determine possible solutions, visualize dynamics, and test alternative scenarios ( Vieira et al, 2019a , Vieira et al, 2019b ).…”

The application of digital twin technology in operations and supply chain management: a bibliometric review

“…In the literature, value creation has typically been characterized as either exogenous spanning organisations or endogenous focussing on internal efforts to improve supply chain performance (Jayaram et al, 2010). At the empirical level, research has tended to focus on the intra-and extraorganisational generative mechanisms of value (Meriton et al, 2020) and in establishing a link between those and value manifestations. It is also worth noting, however, that the supply chain makes up a quasi-organisation where interdependencies, time and shifting boundaries impose on firms the imperative of efficient management of relationships of supply chain actors to successfully achieve value objectives of the focal firm.…”

“…A comprehensive review of BDA-inspired value creation in the supply chain Meriton et al (2020) has revealed a multilevel framework of value creation across the supply chain. They show that value is a nested concept and can manifest at different levels, such as the business processes level, the supply chain level, and the firm level.…”

Supply Chain Management, Game-Changing Technologies, and Physical Internet: A Systematic Meta-Review of Literature

“…Besides, CC technologies enable storing a large volume of data and real-time monitoring, with information accessible to all SC members anywhere at any time [55], [78]. In terms of the benefits of instantaneous data processing, realtime information transmission between buyers and sellers facilitates the integration of physical flows, which affords greater agility and flexibility to respond to fluctuations in demand, as well as reduction in planning time, enhanced customer satisfaction and optimisation of decisions for reverse logistics [7], [31], [38], [44], [78], [81], [82]. Also, customer satisfaction increases can be achieved by constant communication, information flowing from the service provider and price competitiveness [83].…”
