Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a disruptive production technology that challenges many well-established, conventional practices in Operations and Supply Chain Management decisions. Consequently, new context-specific decision problems have appeared in this area, while existing decision problems must be adapted or extended to this context. In this overview, these decision problems in AM are highlighted and classified, describing the different decision in an unified manner and citing the underlying OR techniques that have been applied to solve them. The aim of the paper is that, by presenting an overview of the AM-related problems in a systematic, OR- or Decision-Making-centred (rather than technology-centred) manner, the OR community can become more aware of this stream of research and thus be more active and contribute with some high-quality work. Open research challenges, as well as avenues for future research are also discussed.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is gaining interest among researchers and practitioners in the field of manufacturing. One major potential area of AM application is the manufacturing of spare parts, which affects the availability of the operation and supply chain. The data show that the application and adoption of AM has contributed to a reduction in lead times and inventory, which also contributes to a reduction in holding costs. This paper provides a review of recent work on the application of AM technology specifically for spare parts. The review shows that there are supply chain opportunities and challenges to the adoption of AM in spare parts within various application sectors. Our research reviews both the quantitative and qualitative models used for analysis to meet the emerging needs of the industry. The review also shows that the development of technology and its application is still emerging; therefore, there will be further opportunities to develop better spare parts supply chains to support AM applications. This paper concludes with future research directions.

Modern supply chains face multifaceted risks due to their intricate nature, often leading to disruptions that ripple across the entire chain. However, in the era of Industry 4.0, innovative technologies such as additive manufacturing technology (AMT) promise to enhance supply chain sustainability and address environmental concerns. This study investigates the potential of AMT in mitigating supply chain risks (SCRs) through a comprehensive risk assessment framework employing the best‐worst method (BWM). Our analysis encompasses 14 SCRs grouped into four SCR categories. Analysis of the outcome reveals that AMT adoption has the most significant impact in addressing risks related to lead time fluctuations, waste generation, supplier dependency, inventory‐related risks, and logistics‐related risks. Notably, the adoption of AMT emerges as a robust strategy, significantly impacting these critical risk areas, thereby aligning with the principles of supply chain sustainability, strategic environmental management, and fostering innovation in green technologies. The implications of this study offer invaluable insights for researchers and practitioners, emphasizing the pivotal role of AMT in addressing environmental risks and promoting sustainable supply chain practices. By understanding and leveraging the potential of AMT, businesses can strategically navigate supply chain challenges while embracing environmentally conscious approaches, driving positive impacts across industries.
