Abstract: The scenario of isolated companies competing with each other has
evolved to a holistic vision, where companies collaborate and work together to
maintain supply chain competitiveness. Integrated supply chain planning,
although challenging, is necessary to foster competitive advantage and to
ensure companies’ survival in difficult times. Concepts and technologies
introduced by the Fourth Industrial Revolution support such integrated
planning models. This paper presents a systematic literature review on
integrated supply chain planning aiming to identify research streams,
opportunities and the impact of Industry 4.0. The study identified the lack of
research on supply chain planning which considers Industry 4.0 concepts and
opportunities. Five prevailing research streams stand out: 1) approaches
to deal with complexity; 2) the consideration of uncertainty; 3) raw material
inventory control and procurement processes; 4) the necessity of considering
environmental impacts; 5) particular models for dealing with limited lifetime
products. Finally, the following future research opportunities were identified:
1) improving decision-making models to consider stochastic and dynamic
behaviours; 2) extending the models to include larger networks with more
variables; 3) developing more efficient solving approaches.
Keywords: logistics; operations research; optimisation.
