Abstract

The emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) is expected to recon figure the traditional supply chain (SC) with more flexibility and agility, leading to opportunistic collaboration. The purpose of the work is to identify research dimensions based on AM-enabled supply chain management (SCM) taxonomy from the product, information and service flow point of view. This article uses a systematic literature review (SLR) on AM-enabled SCM. The literature from 116 peer-reviewed journal papers over 10 years (2010–2021) was comprehensively reviewed and assessed. The selected articles were characterized using (a) SC processes—upstream, manufacturing and downstream and (b) SC flows—goods and services, information and finance. This work provides a direction to scholars and academicians for identifying important SC implications of AM technology adoption. Practitioners can benefit by understanding several challenges involved in AM technology adoption and its implications on SC processes. This work adds new insights by identifying research dimensions based on AM-enabled SCM taxonomy.
