“…The digital technologies used in supply chains also support continuous improvement processes because they may help to discover errors as they occur, identify their causes, and propose appropriate solutions to them, which supports the mechanisms of lean manufacturing and prevents delays in operations due to the accumulation of invisible errors, as it identifies and solves them and makes operations performed better a way for managers to choose the best method and update their operations accordingly. These results are consistent with Liu & Chiu's (2021) emphasized that digital supply chain integration has a positive impact on performance in organizations. And the specific use of digital technologies in supply chains determines the development in performance, as agreed with Haddud & Khare's study (2020), whose results confirmed the existence of a positive impact of digital supply chains on manufacturing flexibility and its practices, and the study of Montoya et al (2021), who confirmed that digital supply chain practices contribute to supporting the implementation of the production strategy on time.…”

This study aimed to test the impact of digital supply chains on lean manufacturing, the digital supply chain was a multidimensional measurement composed of seven dimensions: Digital performance management, digital information technology and digital manufacturing, digital human resources, digital suppliers, digital logistics and inventory and digital clients. The electronic industries companies were targeted to represent the research population and collect the primary necessary data. According to the research budget and time constraints, a convenience sampling method was implemented in the data collection process. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test the research hypotheses through AMOS software. The results indicated that most of the digital supply chain dimensions had a positive impact on lean manufacturing, except digital suppliers and digital clients, which had no effect on lean manufacturing. Findings from this research help organizational managers make multiple decisions related to investing and allocating resources to increase profit and reduce expenses along digital supply chains.

“…The value chain can be enhanced, and risks decreased using Industry 4.0-enabled capabilities, such as highly organized interconnection and the ability to monitor and control SC parameters in real-time, which can help improve customer interaction and trust. Based on previous studies, a hypothesis is developed to empirically investigate this research (Liu et al, 2021).…”

This research aims to empirically assess the impact of supply chain 4.0 and supply chain risk on organizational performance in the food manufacturing industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Based on empirical evidence, only a few empirical research in supply chain 4.0 have been conducted. Additionally, they stress the significance of supply chain risk management assistance in enhancing organizational effectiveness. A quantitative technique with convenient cluster sampling was used to evaluate the variables. Data from 54 food manufacturing companies based in Ajman, UAE, was used. A sample size of 289 respondents was used for statistical analysis. The research findings revealed a strong link between the significant impact of supply chain4.0 and supply chain risk to improve organizational performance. The use of supply chain 4.0 in manufacturing organizations was the main focus of this study. The model can be modified to reflect other businesses worldwide, for instance, the retail or service sectors. The findings aid businesses in making better-informed decisions about adopting supply chain 4.0. According to the research findings, food manufacturing companies should initiate and advance their transition to supply chain 4.0 for them to be competitive, effective, and productive.

“…Also, the researchers found that Industry 4.0 made significant changes in supply chain management and knowledge management. Liu and Chiu (2021) investigated the relationships between supply chain digitisation, supply chain integration and a firm's performance. In their study, "Supply Chain 4.0: the impact of supply chain digitalisation and integration on firm performance", the researchers used an online survey of Chinese employees in the supply chain industry and found that both digitisation and supply chain integration have a positive effect on the firm's performance.…”

The developments of the fourth industrial revolution have caused changes in all areas of society, including production. The changes in production caused by the fourth industrial revolution have also resulted in fundamental changes in the supply chain and have converted it to supply chain 4.0. Organisations must be receptive to supply chain 4.0 to maintain their competitive advantage. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationships among supply chain 4.0 technologies so that, by learning and understanding these connections, industries can pave the way for the implementation of these technologies in their supply chains and use them in problem-solving. The literature review was used to identify the supply chain 4.0 technologies, and the Delphi technique was applied to extract them, including the Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, big data, blockchain, artificial intelligence, Radio-frequency Identification (RFID), augmented reality, virtual reality, and simulation. The relationships of supply chain 4.0 technologies were examined using the DEMATEL technique and based on interpretive structural modelling (ISM), their deployment map was drawn. The type of technologies was determined using the MICMAC method. The MICMAC analysis found that the artificial intelligence technology is independent and, based on the findings through the DEMATEL technique, this technology is related to simulation, which belongs to the first level of the interpretive structural modelling technique, and IoT, cloud computing, big data, and blockchain technologies, which are at the second level. Based on the ISM method, RFID, virtual reality, augmented reality and simulation technologies are located at the first level; IoT, cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, big data and blockchain technologies are situated in the second level; and artificial intelligence technology belongs to the third level. According to the related literature, few studies have been conducted on the issues of supply chain 4.0 and the technologies that affect it.
