Abstract

This study aims to examine the themes and framework development in the field of perishable product supply chain to Petri net modelling using bibliometric analysis between years 2000 and 2023. In the first step of methodology, analysis of 68 relevant articles from WebofScience database using VOSviewer software tool for bibliometric content analysis. The result of the study was based on network visualization of author, journals, and content. In the second step, framework development was based on the themes from bibliometric analysis. These themes went under content validity through expert’s judgement.Author and institutions from Agricultural university China; logistics, operations and management department from USA and decision making, modelling and simulation from Spain dominate the contribution to development in this field. The results also indicate that many authors have contributed to this field with less cooperative work been conducted. Thematic analysis for framework development categorized into (1) Pre-production phase; (2) Inventory and logistics phase; and (3) Processing phase. These categories represent the use of Petri net modelling at different stages of perishable product supply chain network.The papers were analyzed only from WebofScience database. Furthermore, the themes selected for framework were based on the content validity of experts which is subjective and not empirically tested. Hence, future scope is related to manipulating of parameters and empirically testing of the framework. Further researchers can explore Petri net modelling in different areas of application and provide a comparative assessment.The findings and framework development can be used as a guide to practitioners and researchers to understand the state of research in this field.To the best of author’s knowledge, this literature review paper is the first comprehensive paper merging the concept of petri net technique to supply chain of perishable products in the field of over 23 years.
