Abstract

The rapid interest in the continuous improvement of supply chain management systems has motivated the development of digital tools in the automation of business problems. Currently, companies must continually adapt to changing conditions with respect to the management of their supply chain. However, the lack of real-time data available and responsive planning systems make this adaptation difficult. The current situation of the technology of digital twins is to migrate to the digital. More and more companies will develop and introduce their own digital twins in their business processes. This manuscript presents a literature review of the current context of digital twins. A total of 4884 searches combining keywords with respect to digital twins were analyzed. The years analyzed in the databases were 2017–2019. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
