Abstract

Metaverse has evolved from the early concept of cyber space and it is convergence of both physical and digital realities together. Use of Digital Twins, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) Block Chain Technology (BCT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has enabled the business leaders to perform their business with greater efficiency and minimum risk. Metaverse has been increasingly used in Supply Chain Operations to create real time simulations of supply networks. Companies across the globe such as NVIDIA, Schneider have enhanced their agility and reduced their operation cost through metaverse. Decentralized collaborations beyond geographical boundaries and creation of global value chain through metaverse have benefited the present-day businesses economically and led to environmental sustainability. According to the reports of Mckinsey and Gartner, the role of metaverse in creating an intelligent, resilient and ethical supply network would grow significantly by 2030. The present chapter is divided into four sections. Section 1 is Introduction, and this section highlights Metaverse and its significance in the context of Supply Chain Management, Section 2 highlights the application of Metaverse in Supply chain. The social impact of metaverse is discussed in section 3 of this chapter and finally the challenges, outlook and Conclusion is discussed in section 4.
