Impact of Sustainability on Supply Chain

Abstract

Industry 4.0 technologies, also called disruptive, have become a part of the new world. When disruptive technologies are investigated in terms of supply chain, they have many effects on supply chain performance. Sustainability is one of the positive contributions of these technologies to supply chain performance. When measuring supply chain performance, it is necessary to keep up with the times and therefore constantly update the performance measurements. Previous studies did not address the sustainability dimension of supply chain performance measurements comprehensively. In this chapter, the authors examine supply chain sustainability performance measurements based on the existing literature and taking into account the contributions of DTs to determine them. The authors briefly explain disruptive technologies and examine the contributions of these technologies to supply chain sustainability performance separately. The main aim of the study is to guide companies and their supply chains to enhance their supply chain sustainability performance by using disruptive technologies.
