Tiivistelmä
The main purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the impact of Industry 4.0 and the related technologies on the Supply Chain Management as well as to provide recommendations for the Small and Medium sized enterprises.
This research primarily relies on the quantitative research data for the analysis. The secondary data used in the research has been gathered from internet articles and books.
The results show that the industry 4.0 has a significant impact on the supply chains and that the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution allow for the supply chains to operate in real time with as little as possible human disruption, however, at the current moment Industry 4.0 is at its infancy and the level of implementation is still small. The SMEs and large enterprises have different methods of implementing f technologies and the number of resources available thus the methods for implementation are different.
