System Dynamics in Supply Chains: A Bibliometric Review.

Supply chain simulation has been used to analyze possible scenarios, and one of the most used techniques is system dynamics, and although there are some literature reviews on this topic, the number of papers has increased in recent years, so it is necessary to analyze trends, locate the most relevant research groups, authors, and papers. This article reports a bibliometric review on the dynamic system applied to the supply chain on engineering and analyzes 519 documents found in the Scopus and Web of Science databases using PRISMA methodology and VosViewer software. Findings indicate that China, the United States of America and the United Kingdom are the countries that produce the most papers, although Cardiff University is the institution with the most consolidated research groups. The most productive authors are Towill, D.R., Naim, M.M. and Rabelo, L., although the most cited are Towill, D.R., Naim, M.M. and Wikner, J., while the Journals that most publish this topic are the International Journal Of Production Research, International Journal Of Production Economics and the Journal of Cleaner Production.
