Information systems for supply chain management: a systematic literature analysis

Abstract

Information systems (IS) impact supply chain management (SCM) on processes such as planning, sourcing, and delivering, and at levels ranging from tactical operations to organisational strategy. The vast scope of IS and SCM relationships have resulted in diverse and disintegrated research on the topic. This paper offers a systematic literature analysis at the intersection of supply chain and information systems (SCIS), aiming to provide a classification for existing areas of research. This research is based on an analysis of more than 1500 articles published in peer-reviewed journals over the past four decades to classify topics and methods and to identify major trends and distinguish important research themes. The classification of the literature has identified major clusters of research in SCIS, and suggestions are made for future research in each of the identified clusters. In general, the findings point out that there is a dearth of research on topics such as 'impact of IT on vertical disintegration of supply chains,' 'implications of new technologies for supply chains,' and 'concerns related to trust, governance, ownership, privacy, and security of data in supply chains.' This work provides both researchers and practitioners with an insightful description of the current state of research in SCIS and related future trends in research and practice.

Modelling Internet of things (IoT)-driven global sustainability in multi-tier agri-food supply chain under natural epidemic outbreaks

“…IoT-based infrastructure (C4) is the third important cause group and clustered in the independent variable. IoT-based infrastructure systems provide important data of government and organisational data for decision-making by the FF about global demand fluctuation, regulating quality standards, monitoring for adjusting logistics action before any accidents (Daneshvar Kakhki and Gargeya 2019 ). Cold chain for perishable products (C13) is the fourth important cause group and categorised under linkage variable.…”

The impact of information sharing on supply chain learning and flexibility performance

“…Information sharing is an important topic in production and operations research (Chandra, Grabis, and Tumanyan 2007;Daneshvar Kakhki and Gargeya 2019;Lei et al 2019;Shen, Choi, and Minner 2019). Numerous studies have investigated the impacts of information sharing on various SC entities and provided important insights on how to leverage the benefits of information sharing to improve the production and operations systems (Chan and Chan 2009;Chiang and Feng 2007;Davis et al 2011;Huang, Li, and Ho 2016;Wu et al 2011).…”

The Role of Information Systems in the Sustainable Development of Enterprises: A Systematic Literature Network Analysis

“…IS can be a way of achieving sustainable competitive advantages by utilizing unique enterprise attributes [10]. Previous literature found that enterprises can improve firm performance by reducing costs and delivery time, and enhancing customer service and reliability with help of ICT implementation [11]. Consequently, the potential of IS to enhance management decision-making capabilities and productivity by adopting enterprise resource systems, supply chain collaboration support systems [12], and social reference systems to support sustainable social commerce sales, have been explored [13].…”
