Abstract

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is an innovative way of improving organizations' production methods by using new technologies that revolutionize the Supply Chain (SC). Traditionally, SC managers focused on simple tasks such as delivering products to customers and assuring that a company maintains a sufficient supply of raw materials to sustain ongoing operations. However, with the fast progress in logistics, SC Management (SCM) has become a complicated process involving forecasting demands, establishing lucrative partnerships, and optimizing business performance. To overcome this challenge, Smart Supply Chain Management (SSCM) uses several technologies such as Big Data (BD), the Internet of things (IoT), Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Advanced Robotics (AR) to analyze data, and identifies trends and opportunities in the market that enhance the effectiveness of logistics, whether inside or outside of the company. This paper examines the available literature on SSCM. It aims to assess the impact of new technologies on SSCM.
