The vision of Industry 4.0 accentuates the global networks of machines in a smart factory setting capable of autonomously exchanging information and controlling each other. This cyber physical system allows the smart factory to operate autonomously. Fourth industrial revolution or better known as Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is changing the manufacturing industry. However, the change is not limited to manufacturing sector, but also to the field that are linked with it. One of the field that is changing with I4.0 is supply chain. Therefore, it is important to know about the current trends, opportunities, and challenges associated with the advent of this pioneer revolution. This paper explores the supply chain in context of I4.0. Current state of the art of this field, and the future prospects have been investigated in this work.
