“…Using fuzzy and novel robust optimization as a data-driven approach is advantageous for a risk-averse decision-maker in the recent decade. Eventually, we suggest equipping all SC with novel technology such as Internet of ings (IoT) and RFID [35] to increase SC's viability.…”

Nowadays, using Blockchain Technology (BCT) is growing faster in each country. It is essential to apply BCT in Supply Chain Network Design (SCND) and is considered by the designer and manager of SC. This research indicates Viable Supply Chain Network Design (VSCND) by applying BCT. A new form of two-stage robust optimization is suggested. Facility locations and activation BCT for VSCND is the first stage of decisions; finally, we determine flow transshipment between components in the next stage. The GAMS-CPLEX is used for solving the model. The results show that running BCT will decrease 0.99% in costs. There is an economic justification for using BCT when demand is high. A fix-and-optimize and Lagrange relaxation (LR) generate lower and upper bound to estimate large scale in minimum time. The gap between the main model and fix-and-optimize is better than the LR algorithm. Finally, this research suggests equipping VSCND by BCT that becomes more resilient against demand fluctuation, sustainable, and agile.

“…The leading causes of inaccuracy in inventory cited by literature are human errors in the execution of tasks (such as receiving, picking, shipping, delivery, and scanning) and incorrect records (Barratt et al, 2018; Production, 33, e20220077, 2023 | DOI: 10.1590/0103-6513.20220077 4/16 Best et al, 2022;Chuang & Oliva, 2015;Drohomeretski & Favaretto, 2013;Lei et al, 2018;Rekik et al, 2019a, b;Sarac et al, 2010), theft (Qin et al, 2017;Su et al, 2021;Waller et al, 2006) obsolescence (Kang & Gershwin, 2005), incorrect location (Brown et al, 2001;Raman et al, 2001), lack of training (Brown et al, 2001), long time between physical inventories (DeHoratius & Raman, 2008), damage (Rekik et al, 2019b), shrinkage (Chuang & Oliva, 2015;Lei et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2016), lack of clear procedures (Raman et al, 2001), low employee remuneration or motivation (DeHoratius & Raman, 2008), inaccessible inventory (Lei et al, 2018), lack of CC (Brown et al, 2001). Best et al (2022) demonstrated that items' misplacement rate was one of the main drivers of positive IRI.…”

Paper aims: The objectives of this paper are: (i) to analyze the impacts of Inventory Record Inaccuracy (IRI) on picking productivity (PP), lost sales (LS), and warehouse capacity utilization (WCU) for different warehouses; (ii) verify if the Cycle Counting (CC) implementation is sufficient to reduce IRI and (iii) the number of CC operators to maintain warehouse performance.Originality: A causal loop diagram in detail of the IRI and CC variable's effects in receiving and picking processes is developed. IRI is separated into ghost and hidden inventory to represent the actual effects in WCU, LS, and PP.Research method: A dynamic system model is built. Simulations are performed for the five categories of warehouse performance with different numbers of CC operators.Main findings: IRI impacts in all warehouses simulated, so managers should monitor IRI besides employee productivity. CC can reduce IRI in all types of warehouses. The number of CC operators to be implemented is different for each warehouse.Implications for theory and practice: Several implications for theory and practice are discussed. For example, IRI impacts more ADV and BIC warehouses without CC implementation. In TYP, ADV, and BIC warehouses CC is sufficient to reduce IRI. In MO and DIS warehouses, other improvements are needed.

“…There is also a focus on specific SCs related to particular industries such as food, electronic equipment manufacturing with a focus on how RFID combined with other most advanced tools from IoT and BCT can improve profitability and the return on investment. A historiographical analysis (Aria and Cuccurullo, 2017) of direct citation in Figures 10a and b shows are three emerging trends: (1) SC performance improvement and inaccuracy mitigation using RFID (Bottani et al , 2017; Lei et al , 2018; Cui et al , 2017; Biswal et al , 2018; Zhang et al , 2018 ; Rao et al , 2019; Drakaki and Tzionas, 2019; Chen, 2020; Zhang and Wang, 2020); (2) Security and surveillance in SC (De Virgilio and Milicchio, 2016; Maleki et al , 2017; Sidorov et al , 2019); (3) BCT and its application in SC (Tian, 2016; Mondal et al , 2019; Sidorov et al , 2019; van Hoek, 2019; Hilt et al , 2018); (4) IOT in SC (Ben-Daya et al , 2019; Tian, 2017; Manavalan and Jayakrishna, 2019; Mondal et al , 2019; Zelbst et al , 2020; Yang et al , 2018; Podduturi et al , 2019); Food SC related to agriculture (Hilt et al , 2018; Juan and Shiling, 2017). Based on these insights, we have highlighted some potential research suggestions in Table 8.…”

PurposeThe findings of this paper throw light on the focal research areas within RFID in the supply chain, which serves as an effective guideline for future research in this area. This research, therefore, contributes to filling the gap by carrying out an SLR of contemporary research studies in the area of RFID applications in supply chains. To date, SLR augmented with BA has not been used to study the developments in RFID applications in supply chains.Design/methodology/approachWe analyze 556 articles from years 2001 to date using Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Contemporary bibliometric analysis (BA) tools are utilized. First, an exploratory analysis is carried, out revealing influential authors, sources, regions, among other key aspects. Second, a co-citation work analysis is utilized to understand the conceptual structure of the literature, followed by a dynamic co-citation network to reveal the evolution of the field. This is followed by a multivariate analysis is performed on top-100 cited papers, and k-means clustering is carried out to find optimal groups and identify research themes. The influential themes are then pointed out using factor analysis.FindingsAn exploratory analysis is carried out using BA tools to provide insights into factors such as influential authors, production countries, top-cited papers and frequent keywords. Visualization of bibliographical data using co-citation network analysis and keyword co-occurrence analysis assisted in understanding the groups (communities) of research themes. We employed k-means clustering and factor analysis methods to further develop these insights. A historiographical direct citation analysis also unveils potential research directions. We observe that RFID applications in the supply chain are likely to benefit from the Internet of Things and blockchain Technology along with the other machine learning and visualization approaches.Originality/valueAlthough several researchers have researched RFID literature in relation to supply chains, these reviews are often conducted in the traditional manner where the author(s) select paper based on their area of expertise, interest and experience. Limitation of such reviews includes authors’ selection bias of studies to be included and limited or no use of advanced BA tools for analysis. This study fills this research gap by conducting an SLR of RFID in supply chains to identify important research trends in this field through the use of advanced BA tools.
