❑ Manufacturing companies globally face challenges in reacting
to rapidly changing customer demand and expectations while
achieving efficiencies in their SCs.
❑ Digital Twins (DTs) are a relatively new concept in the FMCG
industry.
❑ Very few studies have explored how individual supply chain
components adapt to achieve responsiveness and agility in
supply chains (SCs).
1. How can digital twins react to the complex environment and
create a dynamic adaptive mechanism in manufacturing
operations along SCs?
2. 2. How can digital twins help increase operational efficiency
and value sharing in a supply chain setting?
