Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines digital twins in logistics and supply chain management (LSCM). First of all, the definition of the term “digital supply chain twin” is explained. In the following, essential technical requirements that are indispensable for the successful implementation of a digital twin are described – they were examined on the basis of a use case of an automotive supplier. Furthermore, five key application areas for digital twins in LSCM were described with the help of a structured literature research and conceptual study. The fields of application are classified at network level and at site level. For each level, concrete use cases were subsequently described and their individual potentials were adequately elaborated. Finally, the current limitations of digital twins in logistics are pointed out and the need for further research is highlighted.
