As businesses and industries become steadily more global in their operational scope, and more intensely competitive, achievement of a lean, efficient, reliable supply chain increases in both importance and complexity. Recent research comprises many ideas to help engineers and managers construct and maintain such a supply chain. Additionally, numerous software vendors have endeavored to develop ...

the manufacturing organizations today are having a competition of supply chain versus supply chain. existing research work fails to relate human metrics with supply chain performance. the authors intend to empirically assess the effects of human metrics on supply chain performance in the context of indian manufacturing organizations. a rigorous literature review has identified 12 variables. the...

nowadays, in turbulent and violate global markets an agile supply chain (asc) network is frequently considered as a dominant competitive advantage for survival. to achieve the competitive advantage, companies must align with suppliers and customers to streamline operations, as well as agility beyond individual companies. there are many definitions and models about agile supply chain and most of...

Mastering both demand and supply uncertainty is a key challenge for many companies. Markets are increasingly turbulent and also the vulnerability of production and logistics processes is growing. The management of uncertainty has been addressed as an essential task of supply chain management (among others by Davis 1993 and van der Vorst & Beulens 2002). For coping with the addressed uncertainti...

The paper presents the concept of ‘leagility’. Building on lean and agile literature, the paper describes the similarities and differences between these concepts and the application of each paradigm within the context of the total supply chain. Particular attention is paid to the notion of the ‘decoupling point’, which determines the location within the supply chain at which a product is custom...

The major aspects and impacts of the interrelationships between Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technology Lean Supply Chain Management are discussed in this article (LSCM). Many practical LSCM systems based on I4.0 have lately appeared. Despite this, there has been little research into use technologies within LSCM. Machine learning, smart factories, blockchain, internet services (IoS) all possible revolut...

One of the most important parts of the green supply chain management (GSCM) is the green supplier. The green supplier selection process has a vague nature. Therefore, specific approaches, such as fuzzy, are necessary during their evaluation. On the other hand, the choice of a coherent and integrated strategy is vital to achieve lean and green production. Accordingly, the present study aimed to ...
