Title: production planning and control in industry 4.0 environment: a morphological analysis of literature and research agenda

The rapid industrial changes triggered by the fourth industrial revolution or I4.0 have ensued a dynamic and integrative perspective in production planning and control (PPC) decisions. Prior research on PPC transformation in I4.0 environment is in the form of computational experiments to solve sector-specific issues, with little emphasis on how PPC is influenced by the evolving digital capabilities, and how it operates in the new manufacturing paradigm? This study aims to develop an analytical framework to consolidate the prevailing research on PPC in I4.0 and identify future research possibilities. We used morphological analysis (MA) approach for reviewing 104 studies identified through a systematic review protocol. The MA framework is created with five dimensions (i.e., study setting, PPC functions, enabling technologies, digital capabilities, and core performance outcomes) defined based on input-process-outcome (IPO) approach of system analysis. This study is possibly the first to use MA for reviewing the PPC literature, presenting practitioner and theoretical contributions. The MA framework acts as a ready reckoner of the literature and its modular representation has the flexibility to be modified or augmented as the literature evolves.
