Traceability technologies have great potential to improve sustainable performance in cold food supply chains by reducing loss. In existing approaches, traceability are selected either intuitively or through a random approach, that neither considers the trade-off between multiple cost–benefit technology criteria nor systematically translates user requirements for systems into selection process. This paper presents hybrid approach combining fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique...

Traceability information systems in food supply chains (FSCs) can suffer from loss, and this cause safety crises economic downturns around the world. Information loss happens as a result of inefficiencies material flows caused by vulnerabilities associated with either internal traceability individual FSC operators and/or external between them. A structured comprehensive approach to identify analyse these an entire encompassing both its is still absent literature. This paper develops...

Failure to deliver safe and high-quality food not only causes costly crises foodborne illnesses, but also impairs consumer confidence the performance of cold chains. Industry 4.0 transformation in traceability systems i.e., transition from manual paper-based record keeping automatic identification sensor technologies, holds potential enable improved data transmission self-monitoring reduce quality issues. Selection these technologies meet a specific need requires measurement on how they...

Extensive use of petrochemical plastic packaging leads to the greenhouse gas emission and contamination soil oceans, posing major threats ecosystem. The needs, hence, are shifting bioplastics with natural degradability. Lignocellulose, biomass from forest agriculture, can produce cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), a biodegradable material acceptable functional properties, that make among other products. Compared primary sources, CNF extracted lignocellulosic wastes reduces feedstock cost without...

Sustainable energy planning endeavor includes choosing among various alternatives on the basis of multiple sustainability indicators. The conventional methods like technical feasibility or cost benefit analysis is not sufficient to incorporate all elements an environmentally sound plan. A sustainable selection considers social and environmental criteria along with economic. Therefore, provides a different result than one. Multiple decision can operate wide range indicators provide valid...

A smart grid is a digitally intertwined electrical network which delivers electricity to consumers through multidirectional controlling system. Such systems allow analysis, monitoring and communication within the power transmission increase efficiency, minimize energy consumption maximize use of used between production consumption. The present system in Bangladesh piled atop very old rickety system, suffers from massive load-shedding problem based on multifaceted issues. Alongside improving...
