Digital Twins Driven Supply Chain Visibility within Logistics: A New Paradigm for Future Logistics
The supply chains shaping their distribution networks become more diverse as companies respond to global markets’ stringent criteria. This is also counterproductive to the visibility of the supply chain within the company and can adversely affect the organization’s core business. This paper attempts...
