Abstract :
Systematic literature review in supply chain and decision support system has been carried out rapidly in the past decade. However, studies on the deep and rapid development of decision support system related to supply chain are still lacking. This study aims to provide comprehensive information on trends, methods and applications in different sectors and platforms used by scientists to build their decision support systems in supply chain management. The researcher analyzed and analyzed previous studies using bibliometric method. The statistical population of the study is studies related to the research topic and the data collection tool is secondary library data studies. In this regard, 152 studies in the field of decision support system and supply chain related to the years 2011 to 2024 were selected, and finally 97 articles were evaluated in line with the study objective. In this study, we used various keywords to collect raw data based on articles published in world-renowned journals to select eligible studies that are in the research field. The data were processed using bibliometric tool in VOSviewer and Excel software. The results of this systematic review provide some suggested studies on how to apply decision support systems in supply chains and also provide a basis for future research related to these areas.
