Gaining strategic insights into Logistics 4.0: expectations and impacts*

Production Planning & Control, 2020

The developments brought by Industry 4.0 have spread to various components in a supply chain, where logistics is of utmost importance due to the intermediate role of logistics service providers (LSPs) operating among different actors. Despite such a vital role, the extant literature lacks from the extensive analysis of Industry 4.0 implementations in the logistics industry, particularly for LSPs. Accordingly, this study sets out to investigate, comprehensively, Industry 4.0 projections in logistics and their reflections on LSPs by adopting a multidimensional approach. In this respect, the key themes influenced by Industry 4.0 developments are initially determined through a structured survey conducted in the Turkish logistics industry. Then, in the same industry, both the probabilities and the impacts of Industry 4.0-focused thematic statements are examined through an integrative interview survey, which also incorporates 'why-type' of questions. Consequently, this study offers academic implications in terms of demonstrating possible changes in the logistics industry from the operational, financial, and human resources aspects. Additionally, the findings serve as a reference for logistics professionals while fostering their competitive Industry 4.0 initiatives and facilitating their strategic decisions.

THE IMPACT OF INDUSTRY 4.0 ON LOGISTICS

journal ijetrm, 2021

If data in the logistics industry is standardized and digitized, companies can benefit massively. To be effective, logistics needs to integrate data from multiple sources, not just one or two. This data can be used, for example, across the entire supply chain to determine the exact location of a particular product or even a specific product type. Thus, with the advent new technologies, logistics sector has been changed with more challenges and advancements. In this paper, we have discusses future implications of industry 4.0 on logistics for the reliable results.

Logistics 4.0 in Selected Logistics Companies in Poland-Preliminary Review

Digitalization of Supply Chains, 2020

Background: Logistics 4.0 is a concept that strives for improvement of performance of logistics processes. It encompasses many solutions dedicated for both, isolated logistics functions (such as warehousing, transport etc.), and integrated physical and information flows. Their implementation usually requires some investments (purchasing technology and/or infrastructure), as well as organizational changes. Since there is always risk emerging from implementation of new solutions, companies, especially SMEs, due to their limited resources, are cautious when it comes to the decision on introduction of changes to their structure or processes. On the other hand however, SMEs are believed to be flexible and opportunityoriented seeking for chances to improve and increase their competitive edge and implementation of state-of-the-art solutions are undoubtedly such a chance. Nevertheless, they need support to increase their will and strengthen their need to implement contemporary innovative solutions. Methods: Authors designed survey consisting of 25 questions. An invitation to participate in a survey was sent to randomly selected transport and logistics companies in Września county. The study was conducted on a very small random sample, so the accuracy of the test results is DIGITALIZATION OF SUPPLY CHAINS
