In recent years, Industry 4.0 has emerged as one of the most discussed concepts and gained significant popularity in both academia industrial sector. Both lean manufacturing utilise decentralised control aim to increase productivity flexibility. However, there have been few studies investigating link between these two domains. This article explores this novel area maps current literature. is achieved through a systematic literature review methodology, published up including August 2017....
Abstract Global supplier selection has a critical effect on the competitiveness of entire supply chain network. Research results indicate that process appears to be most significant variable in deciding success chain. It helps achieving high quality products at lower cost with higher customer satisfaction. Apart from common criteria such as and quality, this paper also discusses some important decision variables which can play role case international sourcing. The importance...
Supply chain management has become such a popular topic in modern business and researches. It brings the revolutionary philosophy approach to manage with sustained competitiveness. However, existing performance measurement theory fails provide its necessary support strategy development, decision making, improvement. This paper attempts propose an innovative method contribute development of supply management. A process‐based systematic perspective is employed build effective model measure...
Smart manufacturing is the core idea of fourth industrial evolution. For a smart shop floor, real-time monitoring, simulation and prediction operations are vital to improve production efficiency flexibility. In this paper, Cyber-Physical System (CPS) Digital Twin technologies introduced build interconnection interoperability physical floor corresponding cybershop floor. A Twin-based Production (DT-CPPS) further established, configuring mechanism, operating mechanism data-driven control...
Abstract Risk is inherent in almost every activity of supply chain management. With the ever-increasing push for efficiency, chains today are getting more and risky. Adding to difficulty dealing with these risks amount subjectivity uncertainty involved. This makes analytical examination situation very difficult, especially as information available at a particular time not sufficient such an analysis. Thus risk index, which captures level faced by given situation, need hour. study effort...
The increasing population in the world forces humans to improve farm yields using advanced technologies. Internet of Things (IoT) is one promising technique achieve precision agriculture, which expected greatly increase yields. However, large-scale application IoT systems agriculture facing challenges such as huge investment and non-tech-savvy farmers. To identify these challenges, we summarize applications techniques four categories: controlled environment planting, open-field livestock...
Due to the growing awareness of environmental protection and their economic benefits, there has been rapid development in closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) recent years, with a general occurrence CLSCs led by collectors. Even government support such as subsidies, operation CLSC still requires immense investment, purchasing recycling equipment. Nevertheless, unprecedented recession during post-pandemic era heightened risk insufficient funding for CLSC. This highlights importance understanding...
Abstract Supplier Selection Process (SSP) becomes increasingly important for most manufacturing firms as it helps to reduce directly cost the bottom line. The selection process involves determination of quantitative and qualitative factors so select best possible suppliers. It is essential identify relationship with suppliers in terms tangible factors. Owing subjective human judgement determining relative importance those factors, a method called Chain Interaction proposed solve problems...
Nowadays more than ever, supply chain management has gained a tremendous amount of attention from both the academic and practitioner communities. It provides revolutionary philosophy to cope with increasing business competition economy globalization. However, there exist many puzzles, especially in structure mapping analysis, performance measurement. The objective this paper is propose process‐based approach analyzing practically complex network. Via approach, measurement system proposed,...
