Abstract Supply Chain organizations in the present global environment operate in market that is increasingly complex and dynamic in nature. Sustainable supply chain becomes inevitable to meet the aggressive change in the customer requirements. Based on the reviews, it is revealed that manufacturing companies need to speed up in shifting the focus towards sustainability and make use of technology like ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) to meet the organization’s goal. The objective of this research paper is to review the various aspects of SCM, ERP, IoT and Industry 4.0 and explore the potential opportunities available in IoT embedded sustainable supply chain for Industry 4.0 transformation.
