Abstract

The advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) and Industry 4.0 provide new possibilities and opportunities for an intelligent supply chain (ISC). This work aimed to measure research trends on ISCs based in analysis of the main theoretical contributions the literature. A bibliometric survey of publications presented was used combined with a systematic review. The results showed a recent growth in the number of publications, indicate the main authors, universities and relevant countries. The internet of things (IoT) points to great advances in smart supply chains (SSC). Still, it is observed that the studies are incipient, opening a field of possibilities and challenges for empirical studies, seeking to better understand the applications of technologies. Advances in this area and insertion in the global market depend on these empirical advances. This becomes even more imperative in the context of the recovery of the world economy in the post-COVID-19.
