Abstract

Industry 4.0 technology is a new vision towards digital transformation of logistics, manufacturing, supply chain and related industries processes. It aims to increase automation and improve communication, self-monitoring, and develop a data-driven, fully connected supply chain ecosystem. In this context, Supply Chain Management (SCM) with the advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology have gain significant attention. It is considered one of the advanced solutions in improving the information quality, making better decisions, and solving practical problems related to SCM. Several research works have been conducted in this area; however, few studies have examined the research trends and challenges of AI applications in logistics and supply chain management. The major contribution of this study is to develop a conceptual overview of the fields where AI integrates with supply chain management in order to promote further research and development provides valuable insight for logistics/supply chain managers.
