Abstract

Residual biomass is a reliable source of energy and hence requires effective supply chain management for optimal performance and sustainability. While there are various studies on this recent trend, a comprehensive review of the literature on simulation-based modeling of the supply chain for residual agroforestry biomass is lacking. This study aims to present a systematic review of relevant literature surrounding residual agroforestry supply chain simulation insights and directions. The systematic literature review was carried out in accordance with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020 standards and intends to answer the research questions based on (1) Key Performance Indicators (KPI); (2) Simulation techniques; and (3) Efficient supply chain. A search of the Science Direct, SCOPUS, and UA EBSCO databases was conducted using the appropriate keywords combination. The databases were searched, and a total of 1617 papers were appraised automatically. Subsequently, the titles, keywords, and abstracts of 172 papers were examined. Following the full-text analysis, 20 papers in addition to 27 articles taken from other sources matched the requirements for study inclusion. The publications accessed reveals that simulation-based techniques will optimize the supply chain for residual biomass when applied.
