The context evolution has highlighted the need of rapidity and reactiveness for supply chains to face uncertainties, which are amplified by today's shortage of labor and transportation capacity and increased complexity of operations. The synchronization of logistics flows, coupled with physical and digital automation technologies, is an answer to such challenges. Using an action research-oriented approach, this paper develops and documents the deployment of a reference architecture for synchronization-driven smart inbound logistics processes that could guide the synchronization of the material flows at the intersection between transportation and logistics nodes. Reflections deriving from the architecture deployment are discussed.

Abstract
The context evolution has highlighted the need of rapidity and reactiveness for supply chains to face uncertainties, which are amplified by today's shortage of labor and transportation capacity and increased complexity of operations. The synchronization of logistics flows, coupled with physical and digital automation technologies, is an answer to such challenges. Using an action research-oriented approach, this paper develops and documents the deployment of a reference architecture for synchronization-driven smart inbound logistics processes that could guide the synchronization of the material flows at the intersection between transportation and logistics nodes. Reflections deriving from the architecture deployment are discussed.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
