Abstract :

Intelligence is an essential factor in supply chain. It prepares the ground for effective and timely communication and facilitates information sharing among supply chain components in both production and service sectors. Hence, the present study seeks to identify the components of services intelligent supply chain and categorize them as a comprehensive model by using the meta-synthesis approach. In this research, total of 437 articles in the field of services intelligent supply chain was identified and examined at first step. Articles were in the period of 1980 to 2022. Finally, after evaluation of articles, 53 articles remained. Then, based on the process of the meta-synthesis and the use of coding method, four main fields and a number of sub-fields were found for the services intelligent supply chain variable. Initial codes introduced in the software for conceptualization and categorization. The main fields of services intelligent supply chain included intelligence dimensions, intelligence conditions, intelligence strategies and intelligence consequences. Each of these main fields has a number of sub-fields. The result of the study shows that in order to implement the services intelligent supply chain, several dimensions and components are considered, concepts such as real-time online information flow, intelligent fund flow, intelligent services flow, process management and technology infrastructure play an important role. Suggestions are presented in accordance with the comprehensive model identified. Also, the conceptual model designed can be useful as a basis for future research in the direction of practical manual in the effective use of the services intelligent supply chain.
