Supply Chain Digitalization in the Wood Manufacturing Industry : A Bibliometric Literature Review

• Abstract. The wood manufacturing industry has been described as slow in adoptingefficiency increasing activities in its operations and supply chain, the industry is stillfacing challenges relating to digitalization such as fragmentation, poor traceability,and lack of real-time information. The integration of industry 4.0 technologies canenhance the supply chain performance in terms of efficiency, collaboration, quality,and transparency. This paper aims to evaluate the current status of digitalization insupply chains, by analysing the existing literature and mapping research trends. in anaim to create a clearer vision of the current state of digitalization in supply chains ingeneral and focusing on the wood manufacturing supply chain in particular, theresults of the literature review will be used to develop a comprehensive frameworkfor future research direction, to fully achieve the benefits of supply chain 4.0 in thewood manufacturing industry. This framework serves as a departure point to continueexplaining and observing the best way to accelerate and implement Supply Chain 4.0practices for digitalized supply chain management while focusing specifically on thewood manufacturing industry. To achieve the overall purpose, a literature review ofthe key literature from 2016 to 2021 has been performed. using a bibliometric andcontent review analysis, the results shed light on various technologies and theirapplications within supply chains and identify research gaps especially betweentheoretical frameworks and actual implementation. This paper provides a conceptualframework to further aid researchers in the exploration of knowledge regarding themost current trends in Supply Chain 4.0 and its applications in the woodmanufacturing industry compared to other advanced industries, as well as thedirections of the new research in the wood manufacturing Supply Chain 4.0.
