In recent years, many studies link supply chain sustainability practices to firm performance, since more and firms are implementing sustainable in their manufacturing/services chains. This study uses a psychometric meta-analysis synthesize the results from 167 effect sizes, collected 129 articles, understand impact of various types (i.e., environmental, social, combined) on performance (Financial Operational). A sub-group analysis, using industry (manufacturing/service) economy...

Purpose The purpose of this research is to address the challenges selecting optimal drones for disaster response operations under uncertainties. Traditional static (deterministic) models often fail capture complexities and uncertainties scenarios. This study aims develop a more resilient adaptable decision-making framework by integrating best-worst method (BWM) with stratified multi-criteria (SMCDM), focusing on various uncertainty scenarios such as weather conditions, communication...

Supplier selection is increasingly seen as a strategic issue for any firm. In the literature, variety of supplier criteria and methodologies have been reported. However, in this article, to find most dependable an Indian heavy locomotive firm, some like quality, delivery, price service are employed. Subsequently, integrated model proposed objective assessment suppliers by integrating three methods namely, Taguchi loss function, analytical hierarchy process (AHP), technique order performance...

Considering the adverse impact of used products in environment, government has come forward to provide incentive encourage remanufacturing. However, importance incentives remanufacturing systems not received adequate attention literature. This paper focuses on how can affect business decisions a three echelon system under price competition. For analysis, we develop mathematical models for configurations decentralized and integrated systems. These are illustrated through numerical case study...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the complex interrelationships among key constructs, supply chain orientation (SCO), integration (SCI) and performance (SCP) in Indian manufacturing industries. These relationships have been studied using relational view (RV) knowledge-based (KBV) theoretical perspectives. Design/methodology/approach conceptual model was derived from existing body knowledge domain. study based on a sample size 122 data collected via face-to-face meetings...

This article proposes a discrete event simulation (DES) framework to analyse the impact of disturbances, their parameter values, and interactions, on production line efficiency. The is demonstrated by means case study manufacturing process in an Indian automotive manufacturer. Various scenarios are generated studied using design experiment (DOE) investigate effects changes product, technology, cycle time, worker competency, derive optimal set decision parameters.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to conduct empirical investigation value co-creation phenomena in IT services outsourcing. This survey based research enabled identify antecedents and their impact on outcomes. Design/methodology/approach study identifies 25 drivers outsourcing services. These were identified from reported literature by studying project reports. data collected client supplier organizations followed verification the (using PCA CFA methodologies) that contribute...

Government departments are increasingly turning to auctions procure goods and services. Collusion among bidders, however, reduces competition raises winning bid prices. Since conventional collusion control measures based on the redesign of auction mechanisms less effective in government procurement auctions, there is a need devise that decrease effect collusion. This article demonstrates how principles design experiments can be applied system dynamics model find parameter values...

This paper aims to present a combined fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Simple Multi-Attribute Ranking Technique (SMART) approach deal with the contractor selection problem in government procurement auctions. The proposed utilises set of ten attributes for evaluation contractor. In this approach, both past performance status is considered wherein are qualitative and/or quantitative type having inhibiting enabling nature. A case study Rural Development Department Orissa has been...

Romania owns a significant number of UNESCO listed heritage sites, but comparatively negligible tourist inflow. The information-seeking and the variety-seeking behavior tourists among various types sites in associated peripheral attractions were explored from TripAdvisor website other resources. travelers' choice was clustered using modified K-mean clustering technique, resulting five clusters based on certain attributes influencing tourist's visit. Subsequently, conjoint model is used to...

Buying firms adopt various governance mechanisms to ensure sustainability compliance among upstream suppliers. While, certification is the most popular mechanism used worldwide, mounting evidence indicates that there an incongruity in efforts between what declared by supplier and their actual practices. Our empirical analysis of sustainable cocoa suppliers Kerala (a state South India) indicate behavioural characteristics suppliers, specifically attitude towards risk ambiguity can be assess...

The purpose of this study is to explore the enabling and inhibiting factors that affect adoption electronic procurement (e-procurement) in government departments Orissa India. Reviewing literatures on e-procurement private organisations, paper first brings out a number key contributing e-procurement. Based these factors, questionnaire survey was conducted among officers. An analysis responses survey, together with use principal component factor analysis, helped framing six constructs:...
