This book analyzes and presents the application of Robotic Process Automation technology (RPA) in supply chain management. It chronologically describes supply chain issues (definition and features, schema, management aspects, problems) and trends of Industry 4.0 solutions in supply chain management. It then describes RPA technology (definition and features, examples of use, and advantages and disadvantages). Essentially, readers gain the necessary knowledge of the most important features of Robotic Process Automation technology in supply chain management.

The elements analyzed focus on the supply chain and its functioning, the use of modern Industry 4.0 solutions in supply chain management, RPA technology, and its advantages or disadvantages. Noteworthy are the last two chapters, in which a conceptual model for the use of RPA in a company is developed, based on the results of the research conducted (case study). It demonstrates that with basic office tools, business process automation can be created, enabling the implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions.
