Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industry 4.0 concepts are now widely used in the digital and technological changes in companies. This development in company modernization is becoming essential due to globalization and high competition of emerging countries enterprises. Indeed, new technologies such as digital twin, artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, immersive realities, big data and analytics and information systems are exploited in the company supply chain digital transformation to increase its performance. For instance, digital twin will contribute to define and test scenarios that will increase the company performance. Immersive realities will be used for defining efficient methods, models, formalisms and applications to optimise company maintenance. Finally, artificial intelligence will be exploited to elaborate methods and models that will contribute to the company supply chain optimisation. These new technologies’ integration in the supply chain is called supply chain 4.0. The benefits of supply chain 4.0 concepts’ application in companies are amplified by integrating sustainability (as an economic, social and environmental aspect) in the company transformation.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a collection of articles presenting methods, formalisms, aided tools and digital twins which contribute the company sustainable supply chain performance improvement. The focus will be on the industrial applications of the sustainable supply chain 4.0 concepts.
