Abstract

A powerful, effective, and strong supply chain network system is a feasible upper hand for nations and firms and helps them to adapt to expanding natural turbulences and more exceptional aggressive weights. The supply chain network modeling is an important research area in the current scenario, and a lot of work is being done to optimize the network design to maximize profit and minimize the costs as well as dealing with uncertainties in the market. Recently, the supply chain network design is also being studied under the spectrum of environmental impacts and sustainability. Today, a mix of a physical channel and online channel serves customer needs more adequately than utilizing a single channel. This multichannel supply chain network provides choice, flexibility, and better responsiveness for firms. This review covered the available literature focusing on all these various aspects under one umbrella and addressed few research directions in the multichannel perspective to incorporate the changes in the supply chain models.
