Abstract
This perspectives article outlines and discusses the future of supply chains. The existing challenges and flaws in supply chains design and management are described, motivating the need for the next-generation supply chains. We present a holistic paradigm for viewing and analyzing supply chains as networks of networks with various dimensions, hierarchies, and players with their various forms of decision-making. Cyber-Physical Systems is offered as a key enabler to obtain a digital supply chain exhibiting the features of heterogeneity, interoperability, modularity, customizability, decentralization, autonomy, and cooperativity. The role of virtual assistants is described, along with research directions to create the technology for establishing true digital supply chains. The role of Process Systems Engineering (PSE) is outlined with the hope that the ideas discussed will motivate the PSE community to become active participants in attaining the next-generation supply chains.
本视角文章概述并讨论了供应链的未来。文章描述了供应链设计和管理中现有的挑战和缺陷，从而激发了对下一代供应链的需求。我们提出了一个整体范式，将供应链视为具有不同维度、层级和参与者及其各种决策形式的网络之网，并对其进行分析。网络物理系统是实现数字化供应链的关键因素，它具有异构性、互操作性、模块化、可定制性、分散性、自主性和合作性等特点。本文介绍了虚拟助手的作用，以及为建立真正的数字供应链创造技术的研究方向。此外，还概述了流程系统工程（PSE）的作用，希望所讨论的观点能激励 PSE 社区成为实现下一代供应链的积极参与者。
期刊介绍：
The AIChE Journal is the premier research monthly in chemical engineering and related fields. This peer-reviewed and broad-based journal reports on the most important and latest technological advances in core areas of chemical engineering as well as in other relevant engineering disciplines. To keep abreast with the progressive outlook of the profession, the Journal has been expanding the scope of its editorial contents to include such fast developing areas as biotechnology, electrochemical engineering, and environmental engineering.
The AIChE Journal is indeed the global communications vehicle for the world-renowned researchers to exchange top-notch research findings with one another. Subscribing to the AIChE Journal is like having immediate access to nine topical journals in the field.
