“…Here are the top emerging technologies being deployed in the supply chains: the 3D printer (Chiarini et al, 2020;Ferdows, 2018;Kothman and Faber, 2016;Nascimento et al, 2019;Naveh and Lei, 2019;Tortorella et al, 2019), the additive manufacturing (Alabi et al, 2019;Handal, 2017;Kang et al, 2016;Ramirez-Peña et al, 2020b), the artificial intelligence (Osei et al, 2020;Rajput and Singh, 2019b;Ramirez-Peña et al, 2020b), the augmented reality (Ramirez-Peña et al, 2020b), the autonomous robots (Ramirez-Peña et al, 2020b), the autonomous vehicles (Gru zauskas et al, 2018;Perussi et al, 2019), the big data (Ardito et al, 2019b;Bag and Pretorius, 2020;Bertola and Teunissen, 2018;Chalmeta and Santos-de Le on, 2020;Chiappetta Jabbour et al, 2020;Chiarini et al, 2020;Del Giudice et al, 2020;Dutta et al, 2020;Fagundes et al, 2020;Gottge et al, 2020;Kadi and Keivanpour, 2018;Li et al, 2020a, b;Mart ın-G omez et al, 2019;Mastos et al, 2020;Montes and Olleros, 2020;Naveh and Lei, 2019;Osei et al, 2020;Pham et al, 2019a;Queiroz and Telles, 2018;Rajput and Singh, 2019a;Ramirez-Peña et al, 2020b;Sardi et al, 2020;Singh and Kumar, 2020;…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is 1) to investigate the effects on the crucial Industry 4.0 technological innovations that interact between the real and virtual worlds and that are applied in the sustainable supply chain process; 2) to contribute to the identification of the opportunities, the challenges and the gaps that will support the new research study developments and 3) to analyze the impact of the Industry 4.0 technologies as facilitators of the sustainable supply chain performance in the midst of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).Design/methodology/approachThis research is performed through a bibliographic review in the electronic databases of the Emerald Insight, the Scopus and the Web of Science, considering the main scientific publications on the subject.FindingsThe bibliographic search results in 526 articles, followed by two sequential filters for deleting the duplicate articles (resulting in 487 articles) and for selecting the most relevant articles (resulting in 150 articles).Practical implicationsThis article identifies the opportunities and the challenges focused on the emerging Industry 4.0 theme. The opportunities can contribute to the sustainable performance of the supply chains and their territories. The Industry 4.0 can also generate challenges like the social inequalities related to the position of the man in the labor market by replacing the human workforce with the machines. Therefore, the man-machine relationship in the Industry 4.0 era is analyzed as a gap in the literature. Therefore, as a way to fill this gap, the authors of this article suggest the exploration of the research focused on the Society 5.0. Also known as “super-smart society,” this recent theme appeared in Japan in April 2016. According to Fukuda (2020), in addition to the focus on the technological development, the Society 5.0 also aims at the quality of life and the social challenge resolutions.Originality/valueThis article contributes to the analysis of the Industry 4.0 technologies as facilitators in the sustainable supply chain performance. It addresses the impacts of the Industry 4.0 technologies applied to the supply chains in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it analyzes the research gaps and limitations found in the literature. The result of this study can add value and stimulate new research studies related to the application of the Industry 4.0 technologies as facilitators in the supply chain sustainable performance. It can encourage the studies related to the COVID-19 impacts on the sustainable supply chains, and it can promote the research development on the relationship among the man, the machine and the labor in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

“…(Iacovidou et al, 2020). Data management enabled by digital technologies allows optimizing CSC solutions and processes (Del Giudice et al, 2020). The careless behavior of users can be resolved by enabling product-service systems where ownership of the product is kept by the company (Geissdoerfer et al, 2020).…”

Purpose – to review literature about circular supply chain (CSC) theories, methods, frameworks, and appli-cations in industries. For organizations to incorporate circular economy (CE) principles in their supply chain frame-work are required to address the main circular processes. Previous attempts of frameworks aim at the comprehensive approaches or too theoretical for organizations to use them. The objective is to propose a theoretical framework that allows organizations to prioritize main circular processes in order to start improving or introducing new circular pro-cesses in the supply chain. Research methodology – the methodology of the article consists of a literature review and information synthesis for the formulation of the theoretical framework. Web of Science database was used for literature review with the key words of “circular economy supply chain”. Findings – formulated theoretical CSC framework contributes to the CSC research field with a more organization-ori-entated approach. Research limitations – the proposed framework is limited through only theoretical propositions and is more limited in its scope compared to other researchers. Practical implications – organizations in the supply chain such as manufacturers can understand through a framework main processes required for CSC. Originality/Value – compared to other researchers this work emphasizes and proposes CSC development from an organizational perspective rather than from a holistic approach.

“…Moreover, "smart" products and parts would automatically be able to share information and draw conclusions, which would reduce information necessity. As reported by Del Giudice et al (2020), big data and digitalization as information enablers can deliver rich, accurate and valuable information and insights from the products during the inuse phase. This information can help increase customers' use of remote services in general and increase the knowledge of service needs for the local people.…”

“…Increasing the level of connectivity of the product and parts enables solutions such as remote diagnostics of the product and sharing of information concerning the product health (Bocken et al, 2016;Parviainen et al, 2017). Such rich, accurate and valuable product data during the in-use phase is crucial for providing the right guidance to perform the service correctly (Del Giudice et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify requirements and tradeoffs on logistics services for enhanced circularity of materials and resources.Design/methodology/approachBased on multiple case study design and abductive reasoning, the study investigates 13 different product categories. The data were analyzed based on theoretical, a priori codes from the literature review. Inductive, emerging codes were added to the coding scheme during the analysis.FindingsRequirements of logistics services to support slowing of resource flows are categorized with respect to initiator, location of the service, single or multiple actors, and transportation of parts, products and people. Moreover, the study identifies new logistics tradeoffs: material and people, knowledge and people, and information and knowledge. Transportation of product, people and parts can be reduced by increasing local knowledge and improve information sharing.Research limitations/implicationsThis review contributes to the understanding of the relationship between logistics services and enhancement of circularity by highlighting requirements on logistics services in the aftermarket supply chain that support slowing of resource flows. To enhance circularity, logistics services must extend the traditional material information flow with the flow of people and knowledge, respectively.Practical implicationsThe categorization provides practitioners and researchers with an overview of requirements and tradeoffs on logistics services to enhance circularity of a particular circular cycle. The implications will provide an opportunity to address environmental impact of transportation and improve the utilization of scarce materials.Social implicationsVariety of tradeoffs in logistics services can enhance slowing and hence circularity of scarce materials.Originality/valueFirst, the authors illustrate how traditional tradeoffs in logistics such as flow of materials, resources and people need to be addressed to enhance circularity through slowing. Second, the authors identify two new tradeoffs in logistics services: knowledge flow and degree of customer involvement.
