Supply Chain Management And Logistics 4.0-A Study On Arrowhead Framework Integration

The purpose of this research is twofold. First, to identify the impacts of the Industry 4.0 changes on Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Logistics. Second, to provide principal ideas on how to support these domains from the aspect of the Arrowhead Framework. The new industrial revolution brings many technological innovations, and the production-supporting management areas should be changed accordingly. Regarding the Industry 4.0 terminology, this paper reviews the main changes of Industry 4.0 and the current issues, then introduces new perspectives of SCM and Logistics. It also presents a solution to support the updated terminology through the Arrowhead Framework, which is already proposed for various use-cases throughout the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) domain. The operation of the suggested architectural solution is illustrated through an example of a papermaking production process.
