Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is finding the current state of research and identifies high-potential area for future investigation in optimization in supply chain management.Design/methodology/approach: In this paper we present Bibliometric and Network analysis to examine current state research on optimization in supply chain management to identify established and emergent research field for future investigation. The systematic research review which we used in our study have not grasp or assess by other researchers on this topic. Firstly, based on our methodology Bibliometric analysis began by identifying 1610 publications raised from scientific journals, included literatures from 1994 to March of 2016. Secondly, we applied PageRank algorithm in our data for citation analysis to indicate the significance of a publication. Thirdly, the topological decision variables analysis is done based on Louvain method for network data clustering, for this proposes we used the rigorous tools.Finding: Based on our Network analysis result, the optimization in supply chain management research can be divided into four clusters /modules that introduced fundamental skill, knowledge, theory, application and method.Research limitations/implications: We presented some limitation in our research in some fields which could allow new researchers and practitioners conduct the future research to grow up in different dimensions.Practical implications: Practitioners or policy maker usually are not familiar with these type researches so this is why mush of these survey remain in theatrical and conceptual .Future investigation needs to play in practical application domain instead stop merely in opinion. Originality/value: Based on our research, the researchers have more attention to work in conceptual analysis due to other fields but we believe that in facility location problem there many remarkable rooms still exist for future research to development. We also contributed more details in the papers.
Highlights
In the real world, business is highly competitive and dynamic
The past recent decades, the growing role of global supply chains was associated with increased interconnectedness among suppliers and manufacturers, which led to higher dependency among firms in the supply chains and a higher level of supply chain complexity
Chain Management (SCM) is monitor processing and system implementation to manage the service and flow of the goods in order to capture maximize the efficiency and value added in SCs
Summary
The rapid rate of innovation, technology, globalization and consumers expectations are modified the type of worldwide market competitions from traditional supply chains to new competitive supply chains (Scs) (Ponomarov & Holcomb, 2009). The past recent decades, the growing role of global supply chains was associated with increased interconnectedness among suppliers and manufacturers, which led to higher dependency among firms in the supply chains and a higher level of supply chain complexity. Supply chains network have faced challenges like as high demand variability, short life of products, and different expectations and requirements of customers; adapting to these challenges increased supply chain complexity and resulted in more instability and unpredictability (Stefanovic, Stefanovic & Radenkovic, 2009)
