Abstract
Production and service companies try to increase their efficiencies through the application of different state-of-the-art solutions offered by the Industry 4.0 paradigm. The networking of manufacturing companies and logistics providers led to an increased complexity of supply chain solutions, especially in first mile and last mile logistics. This stream is remarkable in two different areas of the economy. The first one is represented by the cooperative supply of manufacturing companies, especially in the field of automotive industry, while the second field is the package delivery service. Within the frame of this paper, authors are focusing on the last mile solutions and give an overview of the mainstream of research. There are a lot of articles related to last mile logistics. The methodology of this structured literature review includes four main steps including the search for articles in databases and other sources, reduce the number of articles by reading them and identify the main topics, define a methodology to analyze the chosen articles and describe the main scientific results and identify the scientific gaps and bottlenecks.
