“…The fourth step is to upgrade or elevate the system after the successful introduction of step two and three. Kapustina et al (2017) illustrates theory of constraints with five steps following the same concept by the Digital Supply Chain Insight concept as shown in Fig. 2: Identification of the constraints means careful examination to understand what the current situation is and what is causing constraint in the logistics process at the port, among workers, the process, procedure, the capacity, etc.…”

Having realized that most Nigerian seaports are congested and the problem of moving goods have been difficult, the Federal Government through Bureau of Public Enterprises and Nigerian Shippers’ Council were mandated to identify Inland Container Depots (ICDs) and Container Freight Stations (CFSs) across the country with connectivity to rail transport. Since 2004 to date, these have mostly not been functioning. This paper therefore examined the constraints and possible factors responsible. The Nigerian Ports Authority, Road Haulage Association, Terminal Operators, selected Shipping companies were used as respondents. 34.1% (253) from the population of 743 respondents were sampled with the use of Cochran formula and stratified random sampling technique. Shaphiro Test and multiple regression were used to analyze the constraints against the use of ICDs and CFSs. Principal Component Analysis was used to extract the major factors hindering port-hinterland logistics in Nigeria. It was observed that 50% of general logistics constraints emanated from lack of efficient rail system, enforcement and finance combined. Extracted causative factors against port-hinterland movements of goods are: inadequate terminal capacity, parking and inadequacy of cargo handling facilities. The research concluded that both general constraints and causative factors are to be looked into with stringent policy enforcement.

“…In recent years, logistics auditing has also been brought to the forefront in connection with the previously mentioned automation [19]. On the one hand, a detailed logistics audit is required prior to the implementation of any automationto prove the necessity and appropriateness thereof.…”

At present, AGV systems are an important part of numerous companies and their internal logistics systems. They are used to efficiently secure different types of transport processes in order to minimize operating costs. However, their reliable operation requires adequate setting and maintenance. Computer simulation is probably the most suitable option from a wide range of engineering methods with which to meet these requirements. This paper describes the development of a simulation model in the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation program to identify critical points of failure within a specific delivery process on the basis of a Milk Run system. Based on the results obtained, an appropriate solution was determined with which to make the whole process function more efficiently and reliably.

The companies will become the center of business with the Industry 4.0 revolution implementing IT integration, cloud-based applications, data management, rapid decision-making operations, etc. These transformations can be realized with an effective project management, and project managers have a big role in this context. The quality of the software is very important for Industry 4.0, given that it can be as strong as the weakest link in a chain. Collaboration between producers and customers plays an increasingly important role in software processes where agile applications have recently been proposed. In this chapter, for the success of the project manager, Theory of Constraints is applied to remove the problems that may be encountered with the implementation of the agile methods during identifying the problem and determining its solution. The proposed solutions to uncover the reasons not reaching the targeted quality and removing the obstacles will be a guide for software project managers.
