A Systematic Review on Applications of Deep Learning in Supply Chain Risk Management
摘要
The increasing complexity and globalization of modern supply chains have amplified exposure to multi-faceted risks, ranging from operational disruptions to systemic failures. Traditional risk management strategies, which are often based on static models, heuristic approaches, expert judgment, and limited real-time data, have struggled to offer the agility and foresight required in today’s volatile environments. In recent years, deep learning (DL), a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI), has emerged as a transformative tool for supply chain risk management (SCRM), enabling data-driven, adaptive, and scalable solutions across the entire risk management lifecycle. Guided by four research questions addressing risk classification, architectural alignment, lifecycle effectiveness, and adoption barriers, this review synthesizes the recent literature on the application of DL techniques to four key stages of SCRM: risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring. By analyzing empirical studies, model architectures, and real-world applications, the paper highlights how DL enables predictive insights, real-time disruption detection, and proactive decision-making. A dynamic risk classification framework is introduced to better capture the evolving nature of supply chain threats. The review concludes by identifying critical challenges and future research directions, emphasizing the potential of DL to redefine resilience and strategic agility in supply chains.
