Covering automation, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, this book includes practical guidance on how executives and senior supply chain professionals can implement these new, innovative technologies to prepare their operations for the shift to Industry 5.0.

With real-world examples and practical roadmaps, Supply Chain 5.0 will serve as a strategic guide for leaders seeking to navigate the next industrial revolution. The book will provide insights into how businesses can navigate obstacles and includes the latest developments in supply chain management such as circular supply chains, reverse logistics and data and analytics-driven decision making.

Driving Human-Centric Technology in Supply Chain Operations

Supply Chain 5.0

Palgrave Studies in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Existing literature on textile supply chains has highlighted the importance of adopting sustainable practices in their operational activities, identifying institutional pressures and digital transformation as the main drivers of sustainable change. However, supply chains should be studied as relational networks capable of involving a multitude of actors. Sustainable outcomes, therefore, depend on the collaborative efforts within a network of interdependent firms. This book conceptualizes the supply chain as a network of relationships, shifting the focus from the individual to the collective. Achieving sustainable changes in the textile industry becomes the responsibility of an entire supply chain, involving multinational corporations, manufacturers, suppliers, and subcontractors.
To reconceptualize the supply chain as a relational network, this book adopts a theoretical approach rooted in relational sociology, which centers its analysis on social relationships rather than isolated individuals or social structures. The Prato textile district in Italy, the largest textile hub in Europe, provides the basis for the empirical study. The book will be of great interest to scholars and students of supply chain management, sustainability, the fashion industry and relational sociology.
