Enhancing Supply Chain Sustainability Through Industry 4.0 and Additive Manufacturing Technologies: A Bibliometric-Based Review

The modern business environment is characterized by increasing pressure to enhance sustainability in supply chain (SC) operations. The implementation of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and the growing prominence of additive manufacturing (AM) has provided organizations with new opportunities to reduce waste and increase efficiency. Few studies explain the potential benefits of enhancing SC sustainability through I4.0 and AM technologies through bibliometric-based review. This bibliometric-based review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in the area of enhancing SC sustainability through I4.0 and additive manufacturing technologies. The review will explore the current literature, identify the most frequently cited authors, organizations, and journals, and discuss the key findings and recommendations for future research. The objective of this review is to provide valuable insights for organizations and researchers looking to understand the impact of I4.0 and additive manufacturing on SC sustainability. The study will examine the challenges and limitations of implementing these technologies in real-world supply chain operations and discuss the potential benefits and outcomes of such implementations. The review will also provide a roadmap for future research in this area, helping to guide further investigation into the impact of these technologies on SC sustainability.
