Abstract: The understanding of the impact of the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) on the supply chain (SC) has entered the spotlight. Indeed, several studies were conducted to analyse this relationship whether to demonstrate the gains of this technology on the SC, or to argue against the drawbacks of its adoption in the SC. In fact, the environmental dimension has further complicated the research in this matter. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to study the integration of the I4.0 in the green supply chain (GSC) modelling. Two methods are selected to deal with this objective, namely SWOT and Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE), using VISUAL PROMETHEE software. This study identifies the relevant alternatives that allow dealing with the threats and weaknesses, for the strengthening of the GSC modelling, and the best opportunities for the integration of I4.0. This research provides a general framework that would help researchers and practitioners in the future to address GSC modelling and the I4.0.
