Reviewer 3 Report

This submitted manuscript contributes to the growing body of literature on the intersection of Industry 4.0 and supply chain.

The submitted manuscript provides insights into how organizations can use digital technologies to enhance their resilience and prepare for unexpected disruptions.

The submitted manuscript presents a bibliometric investigation and analysis of the implementation of Industry 4.0 and supply chain. Some of the analysis presented in the submitted manuscript reveals that investment in Industry 4.0 is a complex, multi-faceted and expensive project. 

The study highlights that a successful implementation is not solely reliant on appropriate technologies but also on the right strategies for their adoption and the optimum amounts of investment in selected technologies. 

The paper is well-written and the authors did a good job of compiling the appropriate papers with the right analysis. 

The authors, nonetheless, did not include enough recent papers published in the year 2022 and 2023, in fact, only 3 cited papers are published in 2023. I recommend the authors update the literature review by adding some relevant papers on the topic of supply chains such as:

"Smart supply chain management in Industry 4.0: the review, research agenda and strategies in North America." Annals of Operations Research 322.2 (2023): 1075-1117.

"A multi-objective home healthcare delivery model and its solution using a branch-and-price algorithm and a two-stage meta-heuristic algorithm" Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, (2022): 103838.
