Abstract

Currently, the development of digital technologies associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution has been driving the formation of interconnected and intelligent systems, bringing reflections on the configuration of traditional supply chains (SC) in the face of an increasingly competitive market. Therefore, this paper aimed to characterize the digital supply chain (DSC), considering frameworks in the literature and the application of technologies 4.0. An exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach and using the bibliographic strategy, was developed to this end. Among the results, it was identified three relationships for the development of DSC, consisting of (i) Industry 4.0 and digitalization as a facilitator of DSC; (ii) SC innovation and transparency through Industry 4.0 tools; (iii) and a mutual correlation between Industry 4.0 and DSC. Based on the interpretation of these perspectives, it was concluded that organizations need to view their SC under new perspectives by applying emerging technologies to guarantee the flexibility, integration, and efficiency of their chains in the digital age.
