Literature Review Section of Your Final Supply Chain Project

Prepare your literature review section of your final project. It should have 3-5 paragrpahs. It must be related to your course final project. You can use below formatting for your literature review section write up. You can see literature review section of journal papers as a guide.

1. Literature Review

If author is mentioned at the beginning for the citation:

Rener (2020) developed the SC network with uncertainty. – For Single author
Rener and Ali (2020) developed the SC network with uncertainty. – For two authors
Rener et al. (2020) developed the SC network with uncertainty. – For more than two authors

or if author is mentioned at the end for the citation:

SC network was developed with uncertainty (Rener 2020). – For single author
SC network was developed with uncertainty (Rener and Ali 2020). – For two authors
SC network was developed with uncertainty (Rener et al. 2020). – For more than two authors

Full details should be provided at the end for Reference Section: 

Rener, A., Optimization of the supply chain network using uncertainty, International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management, vol. xx, no. xx, 2020.
Rener, A., and Ali, A., Optimization of the supply chain network using uncertainty, International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management, vol. xx, no. xx, 2020.
Rener, A., Ali, A., and Reimer, D., Optimization of the supply chain network using uncertainty, International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Operations Management, vol. xx, no. xx, 2020. 

Few aspects to be considered to prepare a literature review:

• Introductory write up for literature review
• Make sure to add some recent references
• Avoid paper-by-paper review. It should be based on category. Similar topics, applications or tools could be added in one paragraph. Few citations should be in a paragraph.
• A summary paragraph should be added.
