“…Another major area for SD modelling is IoT-enabled industrial logistics systems [135,136]. These applications extend Forrester's early work on industrial dynamics to the present day environment of RFID identification of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished products, and the real-time tracking, via IoT sensors, of every stage of the logistics chain.…”

Abstract:The Internet of Things (IoT) is an extension of the Internet in which large numbers of "things", including sensors, actuators and processors, in addition to human users, are networked and able to provide high resolution data on their environment and exercise a degree of control over it. It is still at an early stage of development, and many problems/research challenges must be solved before it is widely adopted. Many of these are technical, including interoperability and scalability, as billions of heterogeneous devices will be connected, but deciding on how to invest in the IoT is a challenge for business, and there are also major social, legal and ethical challenges, including security and privacy of data collection, which must be resolved. As the future IoT will be a multi-national, multi-industry, multi-technology infrastructure, the paper reviews the global standardization efforts that are underway to facilitate its worldwide creation and adoption. The main purpose of the paper is to give a broad survey, based on published literature, of the methods of Operations Research (OR), both the mathematical tools and techniques of "hard" OR, and the various approaches of Systems Thinking, including "soft" OR, which may assist in dealing with these problems. A subset of these is described in greater depth to better convey what might be involved in applying OR and Systems Thinking to the IoT. It is suggested that OR has a role to play in balancing the technical and non-technical research challenges which confront the IoT.

“…• Increase profit performance with interconnection and interoperability within the supply chain networks: Interconnection and interoperability can impact positively on the organization's profitability. In other words, the more interactions between supply chain members are performed, the more profit performance could be achieved [46].…”

“…• Promote connectivity and develop a lean relationship with cleaner stakeholders: the lean relationship in this study refers to the collaboration between SCM members that is rendered possible by cutting-edge technologies, with a high level of responsiveness to support strategic partnerships. For instance, with IoT, lean processes in the SCM could be facilitated [46]. • Implement different types of technologies that will be used to support lean operations: lean technologies in the SCM can minimize waste of resources and inventories through the network while improving efficiency through the reuse of resources [47].…”

Industry 4.0 and its related-cutting edge technologies are generating unprecedented changes and bringing complex challenges in practically all types of business. In this context, new concepts such as digital connectivity, interconnection, and interoperability emerged as highly disruptive approaches for logistics systems and supply chain management (SCM). To shed more light on these complexities and see how companies organized in a SCM model can adopt, implement and operate in a digital connectivity model, this study proposes a framework, namely SIMPLE. To develop the framework, we employed a literature review approach, focusing on recent studies published in journals. After the literature analysis, six dimensions related to digital connectivity in supply chains and logistics emerged, namely Smart, Innovative, Measurable, Profitable, Lean, and Excellence (SIMPLE). This framework brings opportunities for future studies, while providing important insights into the dynamics of digital connectivity in logistics and supply chains. Therefore, these SIMPLE framework dimensions should enable the actors involved in organizations' operations to interact adequately and harmoniously so as to maximize the value generated in the network.
