Mathematical Models Applications in Digital Supply Chain Network

Nowadays supply chains are distinct than those of a few decades ago, and they're now evolving in a highly competitive environment. More clearly, supply chains can no longer be placed, only, in such a way that they can buy, make, move, or sell the right items in the adequate quantities in the right places rapidly. As a result, supply chains must become intelligent to successfully cope with the growing challenges. Many functional supply chain applications based on mathematical quantitave models have been used, however there have been few research on mathematical programming models applicability in the digital supply chain processes. For this reason, this paper aims to investigate the possible benefits of mathematical programming solutions in digital supply chains since we are aware of their potential benefits in the traditional one. We categorized the quantitative mathematical models used in digital supply chain management based on reviewing research articles published in this topic. Furthermore, we provided an integrated model illustrating the use of mathematical programming methods in the digital supply chain. The conceptualized framework aids in showing an overview of usable mathematical models in the digital supply chain. Because it outlines the important advantage and benefit of applying mathematical models integrated with novel technologies in the value chain.
