Аннотация

Several studies that could enhance value in the management of sustainable local and global supply chains have been established over the past few years. The development of smart supply chains with the emergence of newer Industry 4.0 concepts of big data and the Internet of Things is one of them. They are useful in measuring the performance of supply chains, reducing waste especially in food supply chains, improving agility especially in supply chains, and so on. Research on sustainable supply chains has also concentrated on using renewable resources, reducing pollution, using newer technology to use resources more effectively, and managing resources effectively overall. We believe that there is significant synergy in bringing these fields together. The use of big data, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things technologies in supply chains could help improve their sustainability, despite the literature appearing to view developments in the fields of sustainable supply chains and Industry 4.0 as two separate entities. Since raw materials for a product can be extracted in one country, processed in another, assembled or converted into the final product in a third, and distributed and marketed in other countries, supply chains and production systems are now globalized and geographically distributed throughout the world. Because of the flow of materials and goods, some authors claim that the supply chain and logistics, which have the most environmental impact, account for 60% of the cost of some items. Therefore, a number of studies have concentrated on reducing the expenses and environmental effects of supply chain and logistics. This book details a collection of tools, approaches to enhance the supply chain, and create a competitive edge in the globalized market with affordable products while upholding social responsibility.
