Bibliometric Analysis of Industry 4.0 in the supply chain: An exploratory approach

– Discussions about Industry 4.0 and its relationship with supply chains are a topic that has been growing over time. In theory, this new technological revolution can transform industries and their business models entirely as there are new ways to offer value to customers. Developing new technologies will allow supply chains, mainly in manufacturing companies, to change their paradigms, achieving a competitive advantage over others. This article’s main objective is to investigate the current state of Industry 4.0 in supply chains, exploring the technologies that enable it, the existing uses in the processes, its benefits, and its challenges. For this purpose, a systematic literature review was conducted, in addition to bibliometric analysis.
