In the current context of globalization and digitization,supply chain management has become one of the key strategic tools for enterprises to gain competitive advantage.Demand uncertainty poses a common challenge to supply chain management,and enterprises are facing increasingly complex operational environments and risks.Operational risks arising from demand uncertainty and disruption risks caused by external factors are the two main challenges facing supply chain management.Operational risks involve inherent uncertainties such as demand,supply,lead times,prices,and product return levels,with demand uncertainty being the most common.Furthermore,exploring the randomness behind demand is a key challenge to demand quantification management.Disruption risks include exogenous events such as geopolitical issues,natural disasters,and trade protectionism,all of which can have serious impacts on the supply chain management.The advancement of digital technology enables supply chains to provide the right quantity of products at the right time and place more accurately.However,this also poses a significant challenge to balancing supply chain management capabilities with demand uncertainty to cope with fluctuating demand.This article systematically presents the research panorama in this field,helping scholars to better understand the current research status in demand uncertainty supply chain manage-ment and providing references for further exploration of research frontiers and hotspots in academia and industry.This article uses Citespace software to visually and systematically review 961 papers and literature reviews published from 2009 to June 4,2022.Through techniques such as core author analysis,keyword co-occurrence,and co-citation analysis,it reveals the"social-concept-knowledge"structure of the demand uncertainty supply chain management field,identifies key concepts and research hotspots,and clarifies key disciplines and emer-ging trends.Statistical analysis results identify the most influential scholars,key research institutions,core con-cepts,and the most influential journals in the field of demand uncertainty supply chain management.The current research hotspots in demand uncertainty supply chain management are topics related to product scheduling and the design of supply chain resilience networks,with the main research methods being modeling using operations research and management science methods.Based on the conceptual structure and knowledge structure,conclu-sions are drawn regarding future research directions and key research questions in demand uncertainty supply chain management.Based on the findings of this article,two future research directions and research questions are proposed:from the perspective of supply chain resilience,supply chain resilience involves pre-disaster absorptive capacity,post-disaster adaptive capacity,and recovery capacity,enabling the supply chain to better respond to emergen-cies.RQ1:how to effectively evaluate supply chain resilience and construct an evaluation index system?RQ2:how to design complex supply chain networks to enhance supply chain resilience?RQ3:how to balance the rela-tionship between supply chain resilience and economic and social benefits?From the perspective of product scheduling,efficient scheduling patterns have become an important source of competitive advantage.RQ4:how does the widespread application of digital technology in product scheduling challenge existing supply chain manage-ment theories?RQ5:how to optimize dynamic scheduling problems in the supply chain through digital technology?
