Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid advancement of digital technologies, intelligent manufacturing, and global trade networks, manufacturing supply chains and logistics technologies are undergoing profound transformation. This Special Issue aims to advance knowledge on the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing supply chains and logistics systems. Emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence, knowledge graphs, digital twins, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT)—enable new possibilities for real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and intelligent decision-making in complex supply chain and logistics systems. Meanwhile, global market volatility, geopolitical risks, and sustainability pressures have made supply chain resilience and adaptability critical concerns for both academia and industry.
The Special Issue ‘Manufacturing Supply Chain and Logistics Technology’ will focus on key theoretical issues and technological challenges in the field, seeking original research contributions with both innovation and practical value. Topics of interest include the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing supply chains, logistics system optimization and intelligent scheduling, predictive decision-making methods based on big data and artificial intelligence, knowledge-driven supply chain management, green and sustainable supply chain design, supply chain risk management and resilience enhancement, as well as related case studies and interdisciplinary explorations. The Special Issue aims to build a bridge between academic research and industrial practice, fostering both theoretical development and engineering applications of supply chain and logistics technologies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
