Background: As the Internet of Things (IoT) has become more prevalent in recent years, digital twins have attracted a lot attention. A twin is virtual representation that replicates physical object or process over period time. These tools directly assist reducing manufacturing and supply chain lead time to produce lean, flexible, smart production setting. Recently, reinforced machine learning been introduced logistics systems build prescriptive decision support platforms create combination...

Background: Digital and smart supply chains are reforming the food chain to help eliminate waste, improve safety, reduce possibility of a global catastrophe. The globe currently faces numerous food-related issues, ranging from lack biodiversity excessive ill health caused by consumption widespread insecurity. It is time look back at how technology has tackled supply-chain challenges related quality, sustainability over last decade. Moreover, continuous transformations into more sustainable...

Purpose Lean implementation is vastly incorporated in core manufacturing processes; however, its applicability the supply chain and service industry still infancy. To acquire performance excellence thrive global competitive market, many firms are adopting newer methodologies. But, there a stringent need for production simulation systems to analyze chains both inbound outbound. The era of face validation slowly disappearing. tools procedures that provide future state assumptions advanced...

The recent technological inclusions in supply chains are encouraging practitioners to continuously rethink and redesign these chains. Organizations trying implement sustainable manufacturing chain practices utilize their resources the full extent order gain a competitive advantage. Circular management acts as main pathway achieve optimal circular business models; however, research this area is still its infancy there need study analyze how benefits of technology can be leveraged conventional...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact Halal traceability technology usage on logistics performance with a brand as mediator. Design/methodology/approach An online survey was conducted gather responses from service providers (LSPs), including strategic units (manufacturing/brand owners) in Malaysia, which offer services. Findings system and training are two critical domains strengthen market recognition for LSPs. found that played mediating role connecting...

It is very essential study, categorize systematize published research on mitigation strategies adopted during previous scenario that could provide an insight into improving the current crisis. goal of this paper identify gaps in suggest potential recommendations as conceptual framework from strategic point view. Design/methodology/approach A systematic...

Background: The expansion of oil palm agriculture across the nations, especially in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia, is growing at exacerbated levels. However, there still a lack awareness environmental, social, economic challenges among sector, ranging from combination ecological, economic, ecosystem sustainability to livelihoods plantation workers small holder communities. Small holders struggle attain primary standards on market governance, debt-free livelihood enhancements,...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to apply value stream mapping (VSM) in Malaysian pharmaceutical production warehouse. A current and future state map from the raw material receiving end unit was developed find out waste unwanted lead time. It very much essential cut down supply chain time at initial phase as unloading, sorting, temporary storage dispatch were seen contributing a huge build-up. Design/methodology/approach initiated with selection product family, construction map,...

Purpose Recently, much research about the effects of simulation on an organization’s operational performance and efficiency has been carried out. But still, there is a need for lean-based simulations rather than just modelling system. However, these studies still lack systematization. Consequently, purpose this paper to systematize literature lean in area production operations management. Design/methodology/approach A systematic analysis was performed 93 articles extracted from Clarivate...

Purpose This study evaluates the knowledge structure of medical tourism within geographical context South East Asia. region is one growing economic powerhouses in world, and activities have contributed a lot to its advancement. Design/methodology/approach Applying science mapping technique using bibliometric analysis, current emerging themes future trends are analyzed bibliographic coupling co-word analysis. Findings show that produced four themes: Fundamentals Southeast Asia, determinants...

Purpose This study aims to assess the response of Association Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) cleaner production and environmental sustainability, with a specific focus on identifying leading countries research networks driving these efforts. Design/methodology/approach A benchmarking academic journal was chosen, journal’s archive comprehensively examined. To construct data set, conventional keyword search technique applied in February 2023 filter for ASEAN affiliations. The used hybrid...

This study contributes to a better understanding of smart warehouse systems and design in few ways. (1) underperformance reasons; (2) enablers Industry 4.0; (3) the construction from viewpoint recommended framework, architecture system aspects. presents architecture, aspects 4.0. Manufacturing firms require well-designed technology ecosystem monitor control inventory capacity for cyber-physical production environments. However, only studies exist guide industry on design. The remains...
