Enabled by some maturated technologies in the last decades, a new industrial revolution is predicted to arise that not only affects manufacturing or industry, but many fields of life. It is named the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. The triggering technologies, concepts, or driving forces mentioned with Industry 4.0 are cyber-physical systems, vertical and horizontal integration, augmented reality, internet of things, internet of services, additive manufacturing and 3D Printers, big data analytics, cloud computing, cybersecurity. Through Industry 4.0, production activities will be made by automatic machines and robot communicating each other. Supply chains will be more integrated due to information and communication technologies based on real-time data sharing. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Industry 4.0 on supply chain management. For this purpose, literature is reviewed according to effects of Industry 4.0 on procurement, production, warehousing, transportation, and fulfillment functions of supply chain management.

Pulp Processing

Globalization and the advent of Information and communication technologies have influenced substantial changes in forms of management. The intense global competitive scenario have generated new forms of competition for the various players. Faced with the unstable and complex environment, organizations need to focus their efforts on shared strategies. Agribusiness presents a set of specificities that lead to greater complexity to manage the activities. Regarding the agro industrial fruit pulp chain, this dynamic becomes even more complex, considering the peculiarities of the sector. Therefore, this paper aims to describe the fruit pulp chain from the perspective of the business processes of Supply Chain Management (SCM). To do so, eight business processes were considered for the qualitative analysis supported by the bibliographical research on a well-known scientific basis such as Web of Science, Scopus and Ebsco. Considering the study of a current phenomenon and according to the profile of the research agents, it is a multiple case study applied in four fruit pulp processing agroindustries. The results describe the business processes and the activities that compose it in the fruit pulp sector, allowing understanding the synchronous and dependent relationship between the processes, as well as the importance of information sharing in the dynamics among all activities.

Information and communication technology (ICT) has been the backbone of businesses for some time now. ICT adoption has rendered data availability in vertically connected organizations. In recent times, the rise of analytics has paved the way to rethink the structure and working of vertically connected firms within a supply chain. Big data analytics (BDA) for instance, has become a prominent tool to analyse unstructured data. This study explores the application and benefit of various types of analytics such as descriptive analytics, predictive analytics and prescriptive analytics in the process of supply chain management (SCM). Additionally, the study also looks at ways by which analytics could integrally be included within the SCM curriculum in higher education to prepare future supply chain analyst. Notably, the article is positioned for bridging the gap between the use of analytics in SCM, both from academia and the industry perspective.

This chapter examines the links between information and communication technologies (ICT), supply chain management (SCM), innovation, and performance. Such relationships provide managerial implications for contemporary SMEs managers who adopt ICT tools, dynamic process, and organizational strategies to get better information to make decisions that enhance operational outcomes. The results obtained from structural equation modeling indicate that ICT are decisive for operational alignment of actors in the supply chain, also vital to support the innovation process as a key element in the construction of set capabilities to establish improvements at the products and services. Furthermore, SCM mediates the relationship between ICT and Innovation, substantially relevant to business performance. This study digs deeper into the importance of the machinery used in the SMEs as an operational capability.

The Impact

One of the important fields of application of the modern information and communication technology (ICT) has been the Supply Chain Management (SCM). Despite the fact that ICT is the determining element in SCM automation and rationalization, practical use of ICT in SCM is in its starting rather than progressive phase. The present philosophy of logistics is characterized as coordinated cooperation between companies in supply chains, through which it is possible to achieve higher productivity than in any other way. These cooperation activities represent a typical content of logistical centers, which provide a wide range of services for their clients. This chapter focuses on designing a multi-integral logistical center and analyzing it from the aspect of its effectiveness. Also, other aspects, such as the impact of ICT on the development of virtual logistical centers and the development stages of SCM are presented. Moreover, the chapter outlines pitfalls of this development trend in an effort to provide practitioners in SCM with a more complex view of this issue.
