“…It is also a way of mapping out areas of uncertainty, and a way of identifying areas with little or no research done to detect if new input or research is required [17]. The SLR approach engaged in this study was adapted from previous scholars, such as Mohamed Shaffril et al [18], Halim Lim et al [19], and Tranfield et al [20]. The SLR approach used in this study encompasses three main stages: (i) resource searching, (ii) review processing, and (iii) data abstraction and analysis.…”

Exploring the Drivers and the Interventions towards Sustainable Food Security in the Food Supply Chain

The sustainability of food security is a global concern, and one of the priorities related to it is the ability to identify effective efforts that can protect food security along the food supply chain (FSC). The present study demystifies the relation of sustainability and food security and structurally identifies the sustainable drivers, and the pragmatic interventions that can critically contribute to the sustainability of food security within each stage of the FSC. A systematic review of articles from six databases was implemented. Thematic analysis was engaged to detect the sustainable drivers and interventions practised at each stage in the FSC for food security purposes. Six main themes of the drivers and interventions were derived from the analysis: food security governance involvement, input resource management, output management, information sharing, income, and technology. The result identifies the potential that quality management has on the mediating effect towards sustainable food security, through which a conceptual model for sustainable food security in the FSC was thus developed. It is deduced that mapping and categorizing the drivers and intervention of sustainable food securities could help deepen the understanding of effective and innovative practices towards food security in the FSC.

“…Control charts are suggested as the primary tool used to identify special causes (Shewhart, 1931). Despite that they are praised by experts for their wide application (MacCarthy and Wasusri, 2002), effectiveness and simplicity to understand and adopt, their use is still limited (Grigg and Walls, 2007; Halim Lim et al , 2017; Lundkvist et al , 2020) especially in the service sector (Lundkvist et al , 2020). Evidence points to multiple challenges and complications that arise when applying control charts both inside and outside of conventional applications such as need of statistical knowledge, demands on underlying process conditions and variable selection (MacCarthy and Wasusri, 2002; Van Gestel et al , 2015).…”

“…Roberts (1990) argues that basic statistical reasoning is necessary because of the many informal statistical applications encountered in contemporary organisations. Statistical thinking is a mindset emphasising that application of a holistic view of a system and its processes and understanding variation are the keys to making relevant decisions (Roberts, 1990; Grigg and Walls, 2007; Halim Lim et al , 2017). However, the literature indicates that this mindset is not widely applied (Roberts, 1990; Grigg and Walls, 2007; Halim Lim et al , 2017).…”

Deming’s tampering revisited: definition and future research agenda

Purpose How do organisations know which problems are worthy of their attention? Despite good intentions, many attempts to solve problems fail. One reason for this failure might be because of attempts to solve non-problems or to solve problems with insufficient means, a concept proposed by Deming as tampering. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a definition of tampering, outline what is currently known about possible practical implications of tampering and to suggest how to extend this knowledge by proposing an agenda for future research. Design/methodology/approach To fulfil the purpose, a narrative literature review was conducted. Findings Through this review, common aspects of what constitutes tampering are identified and the following definition is proposed: Tampering is a response to a perceived problem in the form of an action that is not directed at the fundamental cause of the problem, which leads to a deterioration of the process or the process output. In addition, recommendations are generated regarding how tampering manifests itself in practice and why tampering occurs. These recommendations could be studied in future research. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that suggests a revitalisation of tampering. The results presented in this paper form the basis for continued studies on how tampering in organisations can be understood, managed and prevented.

Paper aims: Identify the use of statistical thinking and techniques and their main difficulties and benefits in the Brazilian State of São Paulo industries. Originality: There are few empirical studies on the application of the statistical thinking and techniques which study their difficulties of implementation and their benefits in manufacturing companies. Research method: A web survey of a sample of 243 manufacturing companies. Main findings: The companies, in general, use some statistical principles and basic techniques for process control and improvement, however, companies that use principles and techniques more consistently have greater operational and team benefits. The main difficulties are associated to lack of culture and knowledge. Implications for theory and practice: The statistical application enables effective processes improvements and it is associated with motivation for further improvements, consolidation of improvement programs and culture of quality. This finding suggests managerial implications such as to plan actions to deploy and disseminate the culture of statistical thinking in an evolutionary way, training and support for use and to overcome barriers.
