3. Technology, Supply Chain, and Logistics Management

It can be stated that developments in information communication technologies and micro-electromechanical systems have opened the door to the last industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). The effects of Industry 4.0 show its effects in all areas of life in addition to the area of supply chain management. In this context, this study intends to go over the effects of Industry 4.0on supply chain management. For this purpose, a meta-analysis of academic publications in the literature related to Industry 4.0 has been carried out. Academic publications published since 2013, when the concept of Industry 4.0 emerged, have been analyzed and their contents have been investigated. In particular, the key technologies that form the basis of Industry 4.0 have been put forward and the most studied technologies are listed under Industry 4.0. On the other hand, publications examining the concepts of logistics and supply chain management with Industry 4.0 have been also examined. As a result, it is aimed to reveal the most commonly used Industry 4.0technologies in the Logistics 4.0 and SCM 4.0 applications. As a result of the meta-analysis, technologies including IoT, CPS, smart factory, big data and smart product have been at the forefront in the Industry 4.0. On the other hand, it is seen that many different technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and data mining have been used in the researches examined. It has been determined that the studies, especially about logistics and supply chain management, which were taken together with Industry 4.0, have been concentrated in 2017 and 2018.
