Abstract

The supplier ranking process has evolved in recent years as a result of the leveraging of Industry 4.0 and digital technologies in the supply chain. Supplier ranking (selection) is one of the most important considerations in influencing the reduction of supply chain costs and increasing overall product and service quality by selecting the most efficient supplier. Therefore, this study presents a review of the potential of Industry 4.0 in the supplier ranking process. Due to the significance of supplier ranking and the novelty of industry 4.0 technologies, a literature study has been prepared to analyze the applications of Industry 4.0 technologies in supplier ranking, by reviewing papers from some structural dimensions: annual distribution of publications, a summary of reviewed publications, type of application, common criteria adopted, and MCDM approach used. The results showed that only (17) papers or about (46%) of the collected papers adopted industry 4.0 technologies in supplier ranking during the period (2016–2021), which were grouped into two groups: the first group of papers applied the Industry 4.0 technologies in the process of supplier ranking. The second group adopted the technologies as criteria for supplier ranking. The most common technologies adopted in the supplier ranking process are big data analytics, the internet of things, and cloud computing. In terms of criteria used, the common criteria used are focused mainly on big data analytics and technological capabilities. The most widely used MCDM approaches are Fuzzy-TOPSIS and Fuzzy-AHP. Finally, the use of uncertainty in supplier ranking in the (I4.0) era is discussed.
