Abstract

Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic era has severely hampered the economy over the globe. However, the manufacturing organizations across all the countries have struggled heavily, as they were among the least who worked on online mode. The organizations are adopting various innovative quality methodologies to improve their performance. In this regard, they are adopting the Sustainable Lean Six Sigma (SLSS) concept and Industry 4.0 technologies to develop products at a faster rate. The use of Industry 4.0 technologies may reduce material movement and supply chain disruptions with the help of smart intelligent systems. There is a strong synergy between SLSS and Industry 4.0 technologies, resulting in an integrated approach for adoption. This study aims to develop a framework that practitioners can use to adopt Industry 4.0-SLSS practices effectively. Design/methodology/approach This study portrays 31 Industry 4.0-SLSS practices and 22 performance metrics identified through a literature review to improve the manufacturing supply chain performance. To compute the weights of these practices, the Robust Best–Worst Method (RBWM) is used. The Pythagorean fuzzy combined compromise solution (PF-CoCoSo) method is used to rank performance metrics. Findings According to the RBWM results, “Process Development Practices (PDP)” are first among the major criteria, followed by “Organizational Management Practices (OMP)” at second, “Technology Adoption Practices (TAP)” at third, “Strategy Management Practices (SMP)” at fourth and “Executive Management Practices (EMP)” at fifth, whereas the PF-CoCoSo method resulted in the performance metric “On time product delivery” ranking first. Research limitations/implications The identified practices have the potential to significantly improve the performance of the manufacturing supply chain. Practices that encourage a sustainable manufacturing supply chain and the usage of emerging technology will benefit organizational effectiveness. Managers can assess performance using prioritized performance metrics. Originality/value During the COVID-19 pandemic era, this is one of the unique attempts to provide a framework to improve the manufacturing supply chain performance. This study integrates and identifies Industry 4.0-SLSS practices and performance metrics for enhancing overall performance.

集成工业4.0-可持续精益六西格玛框架以提高供应链绩效:基于COVID-19经验的决策支持研究
新冠肺炎疫情严重影响了全球经济。然而,所有国家的制造业组织都在苦苦挣扎,因为他们是最少从事在线模式的组织之一。组织正在采用各种创新的质量方法来改进其绩效。在这方面,他们正在采用可持续精益六西格玛(SLSS)概念和工业4.0技术,以更快的速度开发产品。在智能系统的帮助下,工业4.0技术的使用可以减少物料流动和供应链中断。SLSS和工业4.0技术之间存在强大的协同作用,从而形成一种集成的采用方法。本研究旨在开发一个框架,从业者可以使用它来有效地采用工业4.0-SLSS实践。设计/方法/方法本研究描绘了31个工业4.0-SLSS实践和22个绩效指标,通过文献综述确定,以提高制造供应链绩效。为了计算这些实践的权重,使用了鲁棒最佳-最差方法(RBWM)。采用毕达哥拉斯模糊组合妥协解(PF-CoCoSo)方法对性能指标进行排序。根据RBWM的结果,“过程开发实践(PDP)”在主要标准中排名第一,其次是“组织管理实践(OMP)”,第三是“技术采用实践(TAP)”,第四是“战略管理实践(SMP)”,第五是“执行管理实践(EMP)”,而PF-CoCoSo方法导致绩效指标“按时产品交付”排名第一。研究局限/启示已确定的实践具有显著改善制造供应链绩效的潜力。鼓励可持续制造供应链的实践和新兴技术的使用将有利于组织效率。管理人员可以使用优先的绩效指标来评估绩效。在2019冠状病毒病大流行时期,这是为改善制造业供应链绩效提供框架的独特尝试之一。本研究集成并确定了工业4.0-SLSS实践和性能指标,以提高整体性能。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing aims to foster and lead the international debate on global operations and strategic sourcing. It provides a central, authoritative and independent forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development, applications, processes and current practices relating to sourcing strategically for products, services, competences and resources on a global scale and to designing, implementing and managing the resulting global operations. Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing places a strong emphasis on applied research with relevant implications for both knowledge and practice. Also, the journal aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas and opinions on research projects and issues. As such, on top of a standard section publishing scientific articles, there will be two additional sections: "The Industry ViewPoint": in this section, industrial practitioners from around the world will be invited (max 2 contributions per issue) to present their point of view on a relevant subject area. This is intended to give the journal not just an academic focus, but a practical focus as well. In this way, we intend to reflect a trend that has characterised the past few decades, where interests and initiatives in research, academia and industry have been more and more converging to the point of collaborative relationships being a common practice. "Research Updates - Executive Summaries". In this section, researchers around the world will be given the opportunity to present their research projects in the area of global sourcing and outsourcing by means of an executive summary of their project. This will increase awareness of the on-going research projects in the area and it will attract interest from industry.
