During the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain (SC) mapping appeared as one of the critical SC capabilities that could make a striking difference in organizations’ SC performance and improve sustainable operations. Despite its crucial role in responding to SC disruptions, there is a void in the literature on this topic. This book aims to address this gap demonstrating the importance of SC mapping, sustainability in the Industry 4.0 era.

The book explores how SC mapping contributes to sustainability from social, economic, and environmental perspectives, the role of SC mapping in upstream, midstream, and downstream SC sustainability, as well as the role of technology advancement and the impact of blockchain and Industry 4.0 in SC mapping. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this edited collection features international authors from a diverse range of disciplines including SC management, operations management, technology and innovation management, and sustainability.

The book will be a valuable resource for global scholars, researchers, and upper-level students across operations, SC management, and logistics, as well as engineering and technology management.

This book unravels the multifaceted role of smart supply chain. Taking a holistic approach, it explains how smart supply chain could contribute to the apex supply chain performance parameters like supply chain resilience, sustainability, and visibility. It explains the application of smart supply chain, particularly supply chain digital twin, in mapping the end-to-end supply chains. The book also discusses linkage of smart supply chain with supply chain ambidexterity, a topic not much explored. Further, there is discussion on usage of smart supply chain to employ latest developments like physical Internet, for transportation optimization and so on. It will also explore the role of human factor, relationships and business processes, operationalized as intellectual capital. The book is of interest to supply chain managers, researchers, and academicians looking to understand diverse aspects of smart supply chain. Business leaders who have their eyes on future business managers, and managers who want to be conversant with cutting edge knowledge on the topic, would also find many takeaways in this volume.
