IoE-Based Supply Chain Management

Abstract

In today's world, technology is changing and developing every moment, and the concept of the internet of everything (IoE) is actually something much broader and beyond the internet of things. In addition to communication between objects or devices, it includes communication between (people and machines) and (people with people) through technological tools. In fact, the internet of things is part of the internet of everything. IoE-based solutions can significantly help to optimize supply chain management and logistics processes and have more transparency in this field. On the other hand, the cooperation of IoE and the supply chain can also help to reduce the costs of logistics. The role of IoE in supply chain management is a strategic one because, in addition to optimizing processes, it can also bring benefits such as increasing service speed, increasing accuracy in services, etc. For these reasons, in this chapter, the basic features and advantages of smart supply chains based on IoE are examined and evaluated, and an analytical framework is also provided for it.
