  • About

Industry 4.0 technologies help in reducing the set -up time and cost, lead times, labor and material cost and enhance productivity, flexibility, customization and value addition. Additionally, industry 4.0 helps in decreasing the energy and resources consumption that leads to decreased waste creation and carbon emission in the assembly, production and supply chain operations.

The research curated here examines the critical link between Industry 4.0 technologies and green supply chain management (GSCM) implementation to achieve supply chain sustainability. The chapters emphasize the necessity of digital transformation in firms in order to achieve sustainable performance, as well as the rising importance of sustainability in organizational strategy, product innovation, and process re-engineering. Furthermore, it investigates the inclusion of Industry 4.0 technologies to enhance sustainability in SCM operations, with a special emphasis on the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) 2030 and the post-COVID-19 scenario.
