| description | Today’s mankind and all human activities are
constantly changing and evolving in response to changes
in technology, social and economic environments and climate.
Those changes drive a “new” way of manufacturing
industry. That novelty could be described as the organization
of production processes based on technology and devices
autonomously communicating with each other along
the value chain. Decision-makers have to address this novelty
(usually named as Industry 4.0) and try to develop
appropriate information systems, physical facilities, and
different kind of technologies capable of meeting the future
needs of economy. As a consequence, there is a need
for new paradigms of the way freight is move, store, realize,
and supply through the world (logistics system). One
of the proposed solutions is the Physical Internet, concept
of open global logistics system which completely redefines
current supply chain configuration, business models,
and value-creation patterns.However, further detailed
research on this topic is much needed. This paper aims to
provide a balanced review of the variety of views considered
among professionals in the field of Physical Internet
with the final aim to identify the biggest challenges (technological,
societal, business paradigm) of proposed new
logistics paradigm as a practical solution in supporting Industry
4.0. |
