Abstract
In this paper we reflect on the role of information sharing on increasing the resilience of supply chains. Specifically, we highlight the lack of studies addressing this relevant topic in closed-loop supply chains. Then, we introduce the works covered by the Special Issue “Information Sharing on Sustainable and Resilient Supply Chains” to investigate the relationships between information sharing and resilience in sustainable supply chains.
Highlights
It is well known that information sharing plays a key role in improving supply chain coordination
Several authors have explored the value of sharing relevant information of supply chain stakeholders from multiple perspectives, including the reduction of inventory-related costs, the mitigation of the Bullwhip Effect phenomenon, and the reduction of overall lead times; for example, in [1–8]
Information transparency has proven to be an effective means to increase the resilience of supply chains, as noted by [9,10]
