Supply Chain Digital Twins: Opportunities and Challenges Beyond the Hype https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/237399347.pdf
This paper discusses the application of digital twin concepts, prevalent in the factory unit operations environment, to the supply chain context. While the concept of digital twin is relatively recent in the manufacturing context, its application has now emerged within a wider supply chain context. It is unclear in this broader application what might the benefits of such an approach be in terms of operational control, replicability and efficiency.
