Abstract

Nowadays, Economy 4.0 is more and more often discussed in relation to communities, cities, centres of public administration, the non-profit sphere, public institutions, factories, and the service sphere. This research is at an early stage of development and there is therefore a need to formulate a scientific framework and carry out research to bring new knowledge into the discipline of management science. The paper focuses on 4.0 technologies that are used in chain management and the benefits they bring. They are an integral part of Economy 4.0. The considerations aim to define the 4.0 supply chain, to indicate the interest in particular technologies in quantitative terms, to identify the benefits of their implementation, to identify the most frequently related keywords, and to propose directions for further research.

Research has shown, among other things, that there is a need to identify factors that delay the digitalization of supply chains.

In the area of quantitative research, among other things, the productivity of leading authors and scientific centres, which most often take up the topics from SC 4.0, was presented. Bibliometric analysis in relation to generated records were used as a research method.
