Abstract

Abstract: The advancement of innovation from the latest engineering age to the innovation eon also called Industry 4.0 brought greater interest in the digitalization of the company. Supply Chain with Industry 4.0 enabling technologies increasingly get attention from industry practitioners and researchers. It is observed that most of the review articles are published with a focus on a particular journal or field. The methodology used in the previous review technique is the systematic literature and comprehensive literature method. Thus there is scope to apply a bibliometric analysis tool and technique for the decade of research in the field. An inclusive bibliometric analysis was carried out based on 1554 articles in the Scopus database from 2011 to 2022. In order to identify research hotspots thematic areas trending topics knowledge base R-Studio CiteSpace and VOSviewer are used for the analysis. The co-operation networks have been analyzed initially based on the authors country organizations and sources. According to the study of keywords and clusters thematic research area emerging topic & knowledge base are summarised. "Circular Economy" & "Sustainable Manufacturing" are the emerging theme of the field. "Digital Technologies" and "Decision support system" is the hot issue in the area. Finally the research gaps and future scope of the field are highlighted.
