This study identifies the risk factors in smart supply chains based on an extensive literature review and interviews with professionals. By analyzing different concepts of the previous frameworks, a new one is proposed for the smart supply chain. This new framework is applied to the data collected from a survey of Canadian supply chain professionals (n = 56). The authors conducted an exploratory factor analysis to examine the construct validity of the survey results. After evaluating and assessing risks for different smart supply chain risk factors, some constructs were developed. The survey's results point to the most important risk factors for the smart supply chain, prioritized based on their high probabilities and impacts. These include risk of complexity, web application failure, talent shortage, and high-cost risk. The results also show that the most commonly implemented smart technologies in the supply chain sector are bar codes and social media.","PeriodicalId":44506,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72368165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Literature showed that simultaneously minimizing the average inventory level and the bullwhip effect isn't possible. In this paper, the authors show that demand inference is not only possible between direct supply chain links, but also at any downstream level. The authors propose a bi-objective approach to reduce both performance indicators by adopting the genetic algorithm. Simulation results show that bullwhip effect can be reduced highly if specific configurations are selected from the Pareto frontier. Numerical results show that demand's time-series structure, lead-times, holding and shortage costs, don't affect the behaviour of the bullwhip effect indicator. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis show that the optimization approach is robust when faced to varied initializations. Finally, the authors conclude the paper with managerial implications in multi-level supply chains.","PeriodicalId":44506,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76599726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern solutions are used to maximize demand and supply prediction in collaboration with these problems. However, the great difficulty of transportation networks, profound uncertainties of potential demand and availability, and non-convex market limits make conventional resource management main paths. Hence, this paper proposes an integrated deep reinforcement learning-based logistics management model (DELLMM) to increase and optimize the logistic distribution. An optimization approach can be used in inventors and price control applications. This research methodology gives the fundamentals of information retrieval and the scope of blockchain integration. The conceptual framework of use cases for an efficient logistic management system with blockchain has been discussed. This research designs the deep reinforcement learning system that can boost optimization and other business operations due to impressive improvements in generic self-learning algorithms for optimal management. Thus, the experimental results show that DELLMM improves logistics management and optimized distribution compared to other methods with the highest operability of 94.35%, latency reduction of 97.12%, efficiency of 98.01%, trust enhancement of 96.37%, and sustainability of 97.80%.","PeriodicalId":44506,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Systems and Supply Chain Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72952977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
