Purpose Amid increasing frequency of disaster across the globe, humanitarian supply chain (HSC) has gained significant attention in recent times. This work aims to contribute towards improving the decision-making capabilities of relief organisations by offering more comprehensive understanding of the critical success factors (CSFs) concerning HSC. Hence, the current work attempts to classify CSFs as cause-and-effect factors and explore their relative importance in the stated significance. Design/methodology/approach Current work takes an explorative and deductive approach. It uses literature and experts' input to identify the CSFs for HSC and to develop a structural model for assessing these factors. Intuitionistic fuzzy DEMATEL (IF-D) is employed for modelling and analysing the cause-effect linkages among the CSFs. IF-D method is chosen as it is robust to vagueness of data and small samples. Findings The findings indicate that “motivated and committed employees” is the most influencing causal factor followed by “IT infrastructure”, and among effect factors, “physical network” carries the most significance followed by “anticipation capabilities.” Practical implications Relief organisations and stakeholders at various levels may put more emphasis on cause group factors with more influence on most critical effect factors to build more efficient and effective HSC to execute more impactful relief programs. Originality/value Current work explores the cause–effect relationships among the CSFs concerning HSC by implementing IF-D, which can be considered as the original contribution.
在全球灾害日益频繁的背景下,人道主义供应链(HSC)近年来受到了极大的关注。这项工作旨在通过更全面地了解有关HSC的关键成功因素(CSFs),从而有助于提高救援组织的决策能力。因此,目前的工作试图将csf分类为因果因素,并探讨其在所述意义中的相对重要性。设计/方法/方法目前的工作采用探索和演绎的方法。它使用文献和专家的输入来确定HSC的csf,并开发一个评估这些因素的结构模型。采用直觉模糊DEMATEL (IF-D)模型对CSFs之间的因果关系进行建模和分析。选用IF-D方法对数据的模糊性和小样本具有较强的鲁棒性。研究发现,“员工积极投入”是最具影响力的因果因素,其次是“IT基础设施”,在影响因素中,“物理网络”最重要,其次是“预期能力”。实践启示救济组织和各级利益相关者可以更加重视对最关键的影响因素有更大影响的原因群体因素,以建立更高效和有效的HSC,以执行更有影响力的救济项目。目前的工作通过实施IF-D来探索与HSC相关的csf之间的因果关系,这可以被认为是原创性贡献。

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of environmental and cultural factors on the benchmarking implementation process and management control within organizations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). By exploring the complex interplay of these factors, the study aims to uncover how environmental considerations and cultural dynamics shape the effectiveness and outcomes of benchmarking initiatives in the UAE's unique business environment. The research seeks to provide valuable insights for organizations in the UAE to optimize their benchmarking practices and enhance their overall performance and competitiveness. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to comprehensively explore the influence of environmental and cultural factors on benchmarking implementation and management control in the UAE. This study draws on the integration of two main theoretical perspectives: institutional theory and contingency theory. This is the first attempt to integrate these different frameworks in a single study. The study presents a case study of Emirates Industrial City (EIC), which has been recognized by global industries for boosting efficiency, cost control, quality and overall operations. The quality method known as benchmarking maximizes the potential for organizations to achieve optimal levels of production efficiency. Findings This paper provides compelling evidence that the benchmarking implementation process and management control in the UAE are significantly influenced by the complex interplay of environmental and cultural factors.

Purpose Despite the current progress in realizing how Big Data Analytics can considerably enhance the Sustainable Manufacturing Supply Chain (SMSC), there is a major gap in the storyline relating factors of Big Data operations in managing information and trust among several operations of SMSC. This study attempts to fill this gap by studying the key enablers of using Big Data in SMSC operations obtained from the internet of Things (IoT) devices, group behavior parameters, social networks and ecosystem framework. Design/methodology/approach Adaptive Prospects (Improving SC performance, combating counterfeits, Productivity, Transparency, Security and Safety, Asset Management and Communication) are the constructs that this research first conceptualizes, defines and then evaluates in studying Big Data Analytics based operations in SMSC considering best worst method (BWM) technique. Findings To begin, two situations are explored one with Big Data Analytics and the other without are addressed using empirical studies. Second, Big Data deployment in addressing MSC barriers and synergistic role in achieving the goals of SMSC is analyzed. The study identifies lesser encounters of barriers and higher benefits of big data analytics in the SMSC scenario. Research limitations/implications The research outcome revealed that to handle operations efficiently a 360-degree view of suppliers, distributors and logistics providers' information and trust is essential. Practical implications In the Post-COVID scenario, the supply chain practitioners may use the supply chain partner's data to develop resiliency and achieve sustainability. Originality/value The unique value that this study adds to the research is, it links the data, trust and sustainability aspects of the Manufacturing Supply Chain (MSC).
尽管目前在实现大数据分析如何大大增强可持续制造供应链(SMSC)方面取得了进展,但在管理SMSC的几个操作之间的信息和信任方面,大数据操作的相关因素的故事情节存在重大差距。本研究试图通过研究从物联网(IoT)设备、群体行为参数、社交网络和生态系统框架中获得的SMSC运营中使用大数据的关键促成因素来填补这一空白。适应性前景(提高供应链绩效、打击假冒、生产力、透明度、安全和安全、资产管理和通信)是本研究首先概念化、定义的结构,然后在考虑最佳最差方法(BWM)技术的情况下,研究基于大数据分析的SMSC操作。首先,本文探讨了两种情况,一种是使用大数据分析,另一种是使用实证研究。其次,分析了大数据在解决MSC障碍中的部署以及在实现SMSC目标中的协同作用。该研究发现,在SMSC方案中,大数据分析遇到的障碍较少,收益更高。研究的局限性/启示研究结果显示,为了有效地处理业务,对供应商、分销商和物流供应商的信息和信任进行360度的观察是必不可少的。在后covid情景中,供应链从业者可以使用供应链合作伙伴的数据来开发弹性并实现可持续性。独创性/价值本研究为研究增加的独特价值在于,它将制造供应链(MSC)的数据、信任和可持续性方面联系起来。

Purpose Lean Six Sigma 4.0 has brought about a paradigm shift in customization, automation, value creation and digitalization to achieve excellence in human factors, operations and sustainable development. Despite its potential, LSS 4.0 is still in its nascent stage, with researchers striving to identify the key and relevant components of LSS in relation to Industry 4.0. The present study aims to address this knowledge gap through a literature review and subsequently provide a conceptual framework for LSS within the context of digital transformation. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the authors have conducted a thorough review of reputable articles published between 2011 and 2022, focusing on the integration of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0). By using appropriate keywords, the authors identified around 85 relevant articles. The main objective of this integrative literature review was to analyze and extract valuable knowledge from the existing literature on LSS and I4.0. Based on the authors’ findings, a conceptual framework was developed. Findings The review revealed the motivators, building blocks, tools and challenges of LSS 4.0.

The same are needed to be evaluated based on student's concerns for road-mapping sustainability. Accordingly, authors conducted present study to identify crucial quality characteristics (measures) under the origins of HEIs based on student's concerns using qualitative medium under Indian economy. The study is presenting critical dimensions and quality characteristics, which are seeking by the students for selecting HEIs for their studies.Design/methodology/approachKano integrated-Grey-VIKOR approach is utilized in present study for road-mapping sustainability based on the determination of priority index and ranking. The study utilized three segments of methodology, where in the first segment, Kano technique is implicated to define priority index of quality characteristics. In the second segment, grey sets theory is implicated to capture the perceptions of the respondents. In the third segment, VIKOR technique is implicate to rank the HEIs.FindingsThe findings of the study will assist administrators in planning the prominent strategies that can embrace performance traits under HEI, which in turn will participate in growth and development of an economy. The findings have revealed “PPCS, ICMC, TSTR, PICM, AFEP, IMIS as Attractive performance characteristics,” “IEAF, OIAR, INET as One dimensional performance characteristics,” “QTCS, PORE, SIRD as Must-be performance characteristics” and “PQPE, PCTM as Indifferent performance characteristics.” Additionally, “Professional and placement characteristics of institute” is found as the most significant measure inspiring students for admiring engineering institutes. It is found that “Observance of institutional affiliation and recognition” and “Infrastructure, classroom management and control methods” are found as the second significant measures. “Patterns of question papers and evaluation medium” and “Personal characteristics of teacher and management” are found as the least competent characteristics admiring stakeholders for selecting HEI.Originality/valueThe present study can assist administrators in drafting refined policies and strategies for practising quality outputs by HEI. The study suggested critical quality characteristics, which in respond will aid in attracting more number of students toward educational institutes. A study under Indian context is demonstrated for presenting critical facts and attaining higher student's enrolment rates.

PurposeThis study investigates the quantitative aspect of the various strains of operational excellence (OE) and competitive-potential (CP) in the SME sector. It has five steps, i.e., identifying the key performance constructs of OE and their hypothesized relationship pattern from literature, validating these constructs through factor analysis, formalizing their empirical relationships by structural-equation-modeling (SEM), path analysis of performance constructs with the empirical results, and lastly proposing a framework for OE deployment in SMEs.Design/methodology/approachData for the deployment scores of operational excellence procedures (OEPs) were collected through a structured questionnaire survey. Nine hundred participants from a stratified random sample were approached for the survey, and 473 responses were received. Sample stratification was based on Gender, Education, Experience, Position, Department and Industry. Respondents had 5–30 years of experience managing manufacturing operations, holding the manager position and above.FindingsThe path analysis of the structural model provides unique insights into OE's practical aspects in SMEs (small and medium enterprises). For example, Contractual-conformance and Process-efficiency play pivotal roles as both have a significant positive impact on CP. Supplier efficacy, Consistency and Product-excellence do not improve CP unless mediated by Contractual-conformance or Process-efficiency.Research limitations/implicationsThe study provides important implications for academia, policymakers and managers. The study identifies and validates the operational excellence key performance practices and proposes a framework for manufacturing organizations. SME managers can follow the framework to develop effective operational excellence strategies to help them achieve their organizational goals. Additionally, the study emphasizes the need for continuous culture in SMEs, which will help to support operational excellence deployment. Overall, the implications presented in the study will help SMEs to enhance their competitiveness and operational performance.Originality/valueThe study explores the empirical investigation of the operational excellence deployment in SMEs. The study uses a mixed method approach for research design, including qualitative and quantitative approaches, and uses SEM to test the proposed framework. Validation of OE's six key performance constructs and establishing their empirical relation is an attempt to advance the Operations excellence theory. Unlike large enterprises, SMEs demonstrate an incohesive response to the practices pertaining to Supplier efficacy, Consistency and Product-excellence. This unique response pattern requires special treatment, which is incorporated into the proposed framework.
目的本研究探讨中小企业营运卓越性(OE)和竞争潜力(CP)的不同品系的定量方面。本文分为五个步骤,即从文献中识别OE的关键绩效结构及其假设的关系模式,通过因子分析对这些结构进行验证,通过结构方程模型(SEM)形式化它们的经验关系,通过实证结果对绩效结构进行路径分析,最后提出中小企业OE部署的框架。设计/方法/方法通过结构化问卷调查收集了卓越运营程序(OEPs)部署分数的数据。从分层随机抽样中抽取900名参与者进行调查,共收到473份回复。样本分层基于性别、教育程度、经验、职位、部门和行业。受访者有5-30年的制造业务管理经验,担任经理及以上职位。结构模型的路径分析为中小企业的OE实践提供了独特的见解。例如,合同一致性和过程效率发挥着关键作用,因为它们都对CP有显著的积极影响。除非通过合同一致性或过程效率来调节,否则供应商效率、一致性和产品卓越不会改善CP。研究的局限性/启示本研究对学术界、决策者和管理者具有重要的启示意义。该研究确定并验证了运营卓越的关键绩效实践,并为制造组织提出了一个框架。中小企业管理者可以根据该框架制定有效的卓越运营战略,以帮助他们实现组织目标。此外,该研究强调了中小企业对持续文化的需求,这将有助于支持卓越运营的部署。整体而言,研究结果有助中小企业提升竞争力和营运表现。原创性/价值本研究探讨了中小企业卓越运营部署的实证调查。本研究采用混合方法进行研究设计,包括定性和定量方法,并使用扫描电镜对提出的框架进行测试。对OE的六个关键绩效结构进行验证并建立它们之间的实证关系,是对卓越运营理论提出的一种尝试。与大型企业不同,中小企业对供应商效率、一致性和产品卓越性的实践表现出不连贯的反应。这种独特的反应模式需要特殊处理,这已纳入拟议的框架。
