Q2. What are the main applications of BDA in demand management and procurement?
Accurate demand forecasting and early detection of various sourcing risks are among the foremost applications of BDA-enabled predictive models in these two areas.
Q3. What is the common type of analytics used in demand management?
predictive analytics is the most often common type used in demand management (6 out of 12 papers) and procurement (4 out of 10AC CEPT EDM ANUS CRIP Tpapers).
Q4. What is the prevalent area of BDA in SCM?
Among five areas of SCM, logistics/transportation (25 out of 88 papers, 28%) is the most prevalent area where BDA is used to support decision-making.
Q5. What is the importance of data quality and level of trust?
Veracity stresses the importance of data quality and level of trust due to the concern that many data sources (e.g. social networking sites) inherently contain a certain degree of uncertainty and unreliability (Gandomi and Haider, 2015; IBM, 2012; White, 2012).
Q6. What is the common and fastest growing area in the BDA-driven SCM?
In the trend analysis, the results show that prescriptive analytics is the most common and fastest growing area in the BDA-driven SCM, which is closely followed by predictive analytics, while descriptive analytics is receiving less consideration.
Q7. What is the main limitation of this paper?
One of the limitations of this paper is that the categorization in the classification framework remains interpretative, as this could lead to concern on subjective bias.
Q8. What is the main reason why a CLSC is difficult to manage?
Managing a CLSC has always been challenging due to the uncertainties and possible conflicting goals, i.e. profit vs. environment vs. social wellbeing.
Q9. What is the common approach at the predictive analytics level?
Classification is the most common approach at the predictive analytics level and has been widely applied in manufacturing to support production planning and control (Chien et al., 2014; Wang and Zhang, 2016) and equipment maintenance and diagnosis (Kumar et al., 2016; Shu et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2016).
Q10. What is the process of the review?
In particular, the review is systemically conducted in accordance with the four-step iterative process:AC CEPT EDM ANUS CRIP T- Step 1: Material collection, which entails a structured process of search anddelimitation of articles.-
Q11. What is the importance of studying BDA with a holistic perspective?
the review shows that recent research has increasingly recognized the importance of studying BDA with a holistic perspective mindful of SCM as a multilevel, inextricably interlinked system.
Q12. What is the final layer of the BDA analysis?
The final layer shows the BDA techniques, which can be adopted from multiple data analytics disciplines such as data miming, machine learning, etc.AC CEPTEDM ANUS CRIP T3. Material evaluation3.1
Q13. What is the adaptable technique for predicting shipping?
For logistic and transportation planning, Lee (2016) uses ARM to extract purchase patterns and perform if-then-else rules to predict customerAC CEPT EDM ANUS CRIP Tpurchasing behaviour, thus proposing the GA approach to optimize anticipatory shipping assignment.
