The results showed that redesigning the network and creating a supply chain buffer were the most important criteria/pillars, and the most important factors were creating redundancy and robustness. The study also found that approximately 80% and 20% of resilience can be achieved by developing absorption and reactive capabilities, respectively. The importance weight provided by this study can be used by industry professionals to estimate achieving supply chain resilience, while academicians can use it as the foundation for future researches. Further, researches may be carried out by developing a digital twin to understand potential impact of disruptions and resilience strategies. Blockchain implementation precisely smart contracts may be studied, since it appears to be one among best solutions to create transparency, coordination and control mechanism in the supply chain system. The novelty of this study lies in the weighted Ishikawa diagram that quantifies the contribution of each factor in percentage terms, providing specific insights into the factors influencing supply chain resilience.</p>","PeriodicalId":46120,"journal":{"name":"Operations Management Research","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138687633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this goal, we begin by identifying relevant criteria through a comprehensive literature review and interviews with experts, including faculty members, executive professionals from sports departments, and board members of a municipality. Subsequently, we assess the significance of inter-city (optimal city selection) and intra-city (optimal geographic area identification) criteria in two distinct stages. These assessments are based on experts' opinions, collect via an online questionnaire developed in alignment with the Best Worst Method (BWM). In an effort to assess the desirability of the cities under consideration, we apply piecewise linear preference functions (PLPFs) to determine the ranges in which each of the items achieve their best score. Also, the best area for constructing a sports complex is selected using the geographical information system (GIS). The results of this research confirm that social factors are more important than economic and environmental ones in the evaluation phase of the candidates and PLPFs produce different results vis- à-vis the existing linear methods. The framework presented offers decision-makers a comprehensive overview of the considerations involved in selecting suitable locations for sustainable sports complexes. Notably, it specifically delineates the criteria essential for the location selection of sports complexes dedicated to traditional games. Furthermore, the proposed methodology can be regarded as an expert-based solution applicable to a range of challenges in sports complex location selection.</p>","PeriodicalId":46120,"journal":{"name":"Operations Management Research","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138629129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it also entails dangers, including shifting circumstances, disruptions, and elevated prices. To address these issues, outsourcing has evolved, lowering outputs and service costs. To mitigate these risks, businesses employ strategies such as interventionism, protectionism, and regionalization. By investigating and simulating the interplay of outsourcing approaches to equip businesses with supply chain resilience (SCRES), this study aims to close the knowledge gap between the existing knowledge and global supply chain (GSC) risk management practices. To choose the best alternative for our case study company, we analyzed four distinct outsourcing techniques, namely offshoring, reshoring, nearshoring, and farshoring; furthermore, we investigated the outsourcing elements typically taken into account to achieve resilience. The results indicated that the reshoring method would be the most promising one for this company, under specific circumstances, in terms of attaining resilience in the manufacturing industry.</p>","PeriodicalId":46120,"journal":{"name":"Operations Management Research","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138629145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the pallet loading problem is optimised offline using available cargo information, which is advantageous compared to typical freight operations but results in inefficiency when handling fragmented e-commerce orders. This research develops a mixed reality-based online pallet loading system (MROPLS) supported by deep reinforcement learning technology and online algorithms that dynamically decide cargo placements and orientations without prior information for pallet loading operations. The MROPLS proposes a 3-dimensional maximal-rectangle non-guillotine cutting strategy combined with a deep Q-network to increase space utilisation effectively. This approach is achieved using the lookahead algorithm, which predicts upcoming packages in the online pallet loading process and optimises package spatial location and orientation decision-making. We conduct simulation experiments to verify the system’s feasibility and performance by considering SF Express, DHL and Royal Mail package and ISO pallet sizes. The interaction effects between package types, pallet sizes and lookahead values were found and summarised to determine optimal system settings. With the aid of MROPLS, human intelligence in the online pallet loading process can be augmented, resulting in optimal palletisation in warehouse automation.</p>","PeriodicalId":46120,"journal":{"name":"Operations Management Research","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138629335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Challenges and opportunities for manufacturing SMEs in adopting industry 4.0 technologies for achieving sustainability: Empirical evidence from an emerging economy","authors":"Anbesh Jamwal, Rajeev Agrawal, Monica Sharma","doi":"10.1007/s12063-023-00428-2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12063-023-00428-2","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Climate change, resource efficiency, and global warming pose significant challenges to emerging economies and their small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The concepts of sustainability and Industry 4.0 are intertwined and offer new business opportunities for SMEs. However, it remains unclear whether the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies has any impact on sustainability at the process, system, and product levels, particularly for SMEs in emerging economies. Manufacturing SMEs currently face pressure from customers and stakeholder for shorter delivery times and environmentally friendly products to remain competitive in global market. While Industry 4.0 adoption is still in its early stages among SMEs, its potential influence on sustainability is anticipated. Consequently, emerging economies are increasingly focused on adopting Industry 4.0 technologies due to investments by multinational corporations. However, SMEs encounter challenges in adopting Industry 4.0 technologies and addressing sustainability issues in their business models. To bridge this gap, the present study conducts an empirical investigation in an emerging economy. A comprehensive review of the literature identifies the main challenges in Industry 4.0, which are validated through an exploratory factor analysis using responses from 233 manufacturing SMEs. The prioritization of challenges is accomplished using a Fuzzy-Analytical Hierarchy Process. The causal interrelationship between the major challenging groups is examined through the Fuzzy-Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory approach. The findings highlight “Lack of dedicated Research and development (R&amp;D) teams” and “Data security and privacy issues” as significant challenges faced by SMEs in emerging economies. This study represents an initial attempt to analyse the impact of Industry 4.0 challenges on achieving manufacturing sustainability in SMEs through a large-scale survey in emerging economies, employing a mixed-method approach. The results offer empirical support for addressing sustainability issues in Industry 4.0 for manufacturing SMEs. The framework developed in this study can be utilized by SME managers to effectively tackle sustainability challenges. Additionally, policymakers can leverage the study’s insights to promote sustainability in the manufacturing sector.</p>","PeriodicalId":46120,"journal":{"name":"Operations Management Research","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138563631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this connection appears to be lopsided, with much more emphasis on theory-to-practice than practice-to-theory in applications of design science (DS). This imbalance tends to impede theoretical progress. To mitigate this imbalance, this paper explores the notion of mechanisms as boundary objects between design and science. First, we outline the problem-solving cycle of DS and the research products it generates. Subsequently, we elaborate on mechanisms, mechanism-based explanations, and law-statements, and how these concepts inform the products of DS research. The argument then turns to how causal mechanisms can be inferred in the DS problem-solving cycle. Finally, we propose a framework for closing the self-reinforcing loop between science and design, which allows OM scholars to more effectively produce practical outputs as well as theoretical breakthroughs.</p>","PeriodicalId":46120,"journal":{"name":"Operations Management Research","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138529459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
