“…It is evident that initially researchers [5,17,[28][29][30][31][32][33] evaluated supply chain performance statistically by integrating the questionnaire data and subjective approach, and rank performance enablers of supply chain that are collected from different business professionals. Subsequently, others [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] suggested to integrate multiple criterions related to production, market, people, and information to evaluate the performance of supply chain. For example, researchers used the technique of preference by similarity index multi-criteria approach [42][43][44][45][46][47][48], generalized trapezoidal approach [44,45], data envelopment analysis [46,47], set theory [9,24], agent based modelling [9], and quality-function deployment [49].…”

Worldwide business organizations realize that agility of sustainable supply-chain is a requisite need for survival in a dynamic, competitive, and unpredictable market. The contribution of this research is to explore and evaluate sustainable agility in supply chains for a dairy manufacturing organization located in Saudi Arabia. Other contributions of this research are to update the literature about the different factors contributing to achieve agile supply chain, propose conceptual framework and assessment approach incorporating the relationships between sustainable supply-chain capabilities, enablers, and attributes, and shortlisting the agility barriers and how they would facilitate manufacturing organizations’ performance. The paper presents supply chain agility evaluation approach, which covers identification of agile supply-chain capabilities and drivers. It also presents a conceptual model and a framework to define agility level and barriers within the supply-chain. In the paper, fuzzy logic approach is preferred, owing to its capability to incorporate and deal with problems involving impreciseness and vagueness phenomena. Threshold-value in this study for the case organization is set to 0.24829. The outcome of the adopted approach indicates that 21 attributes performed below the threshold value; these attributes are further categorized as agility barriers. These are the barriers within their supply chain that impact the agility-level. For the case organization, the foremost priority is to enhance maintainability and serviceability to make it flexible and inexpensive to establish an agile responsive supply chain. At the same time, it should have priority to focus on development and integration of their core competencies to deal with cross-functional and cross-enterprise issues in supply chain. For the case organization, the agility level was found “very agile,” although it is below the “extremely agile.” Thus, a study was developed to understand the behaviour of the supply chain agility and assess/evaluate it to support decision makers in order to develop a strategic solution for different organizational barriers.

“…As a result, they not only determined closed-form optimal cycle time and number of shipments for the problem, but also achieved expected goals and revealed quite a few merits of this particular FPR system as compared to prior works [9][10]. Studies relating to fabrication systems with various aspects of quality improvements, multi-delivery plan, and rotation cycle time issues can also be referred to [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Grubbstrom and Erdem [21] presented a simplified approach, to solve the economic order quantity model with backordering without using derivatives.…”

A finite production rate (FPR) system with delayed differentiation, scrap, and multi-delivery policy using a two-machine production scheme was explored by a conventional calculus method [1]. This paper provides an unconventional approach to this specific problem and demonstrates that its solution procedure can be free of derivatives. The production planner now has an alternative way to study such a complex FPR system.

“…Current paper claims that such an adoption of new and complex methodologies is not enough to maintain and develop competitiveness and satisfaction of clients' interests and is merely a first step into this direction. Moreover, when trying to please the customers' unique needs, an organization is required to take a step forward and integrate concepts such as agility, high-quality and speed of delivery, alongside with an agile mindset that would allow increase in competitive advantage in such turbulent times [1].…”

Smart city is a concept widely used and sometimes the idea seems somehow utopian since it involves notions from a multitude of scientific fields. Most researchers, representatives of companies and government agencies, together with city dwellers agree that the main elements of the smart city are ICT, their successful application and smart human resources. However, it seems that local governments do not pay much attention to educating citizens or raising society's awareness of smart solutions when trying to develop smart cities. Rather, we believe that the major interest in introducing smart city solutions has been an economic one, which would support increasing revenues to local budgets or increasing sales revenues for companies that develop smart solutions. We therefore believe that the demands and expectations of citizens must be listened to (more), frequent result-oriented discussions with smart solutions providers need to take place and that local authorities must establish a clear action plan for all stakeholders to communicate in order to create a smart city that works with success. Therefore, among the characteristics of agile methodologies usually implemented in software development we identified in the current study some concepts that might be applicable to the process of public procurement of smart city solutions. We thus propose a new hybrid agile approach and discuss its advantages with regards to smart city projects. Conclusions of the study indicate that the proposed approach requires changes in public management and, even more important, in our thinking. Customers, typically in the form of municipality or governmental organizations, need to become pro-active and much more engaged in smart city projects. As a result, it is demonstrated that smart governance plays an essential role in the success of the urban projects implemented with such solutions.
