Abstract

With the spread of Industry 4.0 technology, businesses have had many technological innovations that will help improve their operational processes. Despite the increasing automation in logistics processes, which is one of these operational processes, there are various activities that machines cannot imitate and the human factor is important. The human factor in logistics processes is a very important issue in terms of system performance, but when the studies in the literature are examined, it is seen that this issue has not been adequately researched. This study aims to contribute by closing this gap in the literature on the human factor in logistics processes. For this purpose, the status of the studies on human factors in logistics between the years 2010–2021 was analyzed in terms of bibliometrics. The data used in the research were compiled from the SCOPUS database. The VOSviewer (1.6.17) program was used to determine and visualize the relationships of studies on this subject with co-author analysis, co-citation analysis, and common word analysis. It is thought that the findings will help to reach the necessary resources for the studies to be done on human factors in logistics more easily and more effectively.
