Overview

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.

Reviews

"""Supply chain management has become a key element in our lives. We noticed it when shelves in our supermarkets were empty due to the pandemic and the geopolitical instability. Sustainability is now a necessity for our planet. Therefore, a book combining Supply chain mapping and sustainability is an essential read for everybody."" Alessio Ishizaka, Distinguished Professor, NEOMA Business School, Franca ""The staggering impacts of COVID-19 on businesses demand a novel yet concrete approach to deal with the disruptions. The book in hand offers a pragmatic, simple and novel approach to deal with such disruptions. Especially, the role of supply chain mapping in attaining sustainability has been beautifully introduced and explained. I think this is a must read for the business leaders and management professionals to read. "" Talib Syed Karim, President Institute of Business Management (IoBM), Karachi, President, Management Association of Pakistan (MAP), President, Association of Management Development Institutions of Pakistan (AMDIP) ""Supply chain mapping is ever more critical given the various disruptive crises global supply chains have encountered. This book provides an important comprehensive understanding showing the linkages and importance of supply chain mapping in two critical areas of competitiveness and social importance—Sustainability and Industry 4.0. The book provides a wonderful logical and easy to follow structure that can help academics and practitioners understand the many nuances of these topics and constructs."" Professor Joseph Sarkis, Professor of Management, School of Business , Worcester Polytechnic Institute, MA 01609, United States ""Supply chains across the globe are operating under increasing pressure to achieve excellence in a hugely volatile and uncertain context. One of the most important challenges faced by supply chain professionals concerns how to improve sustainability, while simultaneously adopting the latest technologies, including industry 4.0-related path breaking contributions. In this excellent book ‘Supply Chain Mapping, Sustainability and Industry 4.0’, several of the most talented academic leaders in the fields of sustainable supply chains and industry 4.0 provide readers with unique insights into the ways in which emerging technologies can unlock sustainability in supply chains. It is a must-read book for any scholar, practitioner or industry policy maker who is seriously committed to creating truly technology-empowered sustainable supply chains"". Charbel Jose Chiappetta Jabbour, Full Professor and Department Chair, NEOMA Business School, France ""In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused supply chain disruptions worldwide. This in turn has increased price levels and resulted in inflation globally. The US and other world leaders are making policies to reduce global supply chain backlogs and disruptions. In this situation, the book ""Supply Chain Mapping, Sustainability and Industry 4.0"" is exactly what the market needs. The authors must be commended for their bold move to offer workable solutions to tackle the supply chain disruption. If the supply chain can be made visible, supply chain performance will improve. In this regard, supply chain mapping can play an extremely important role. Mapping will not only enhance the supply chain transparency but also help develop better integration among different supply chain entities. The book in hand is an essential addition to the supply chain researchers and practitioners and the followers of Industry 4.0. It contains guidelines, perspectives, analyses, research results, and technical models for supply chain mapping. Hence, I strongly recommend the book to all engineering, management, and business institutions, both private and public."" M.
