“…Benitez 28 advised collaboration with research & development centers in supply chain risk management to guide technological transformation by affording high-risk ventures. Aamer 37 identified data security and trust as significant concerns among the supply chain partners and data owners. To overcome this challenge, the authors suggested building a solid defense by deploying emerging technologies across the supply chain reinforcing cyber security, access control, data authentication, and customer privacy protection.…”

The implications of Industry 4.0 on supply chains amid the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions in supply chains. It has increased the demand for products and decreased the supply of raw materials. This has interrupted many production processes. The emerging technologies of Industry 4.0 have the potential to streamline supply chains by improving time-sensitive customized solutions during this emergency. Purpose: The study identifies the core technologies of Industry 4.0 and the role and impact of these technologies in managing the disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak in strengthening the supply chain resilience. Design/methodology/approach: An extensive literature review using the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” method was carried out on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chains and Industry 4.0 technologies. The study was undertaken by selecting keywords validated by experts, and a search was conducted in the Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases. Publications from the leading journals on these topics were selected. The bibliographical search resulted in 1484 articles, followed by multiple layers of filtering. Finally, the most pertinent articles were selected for review, and a total of 42 articles were analyzed. Findings: The findings of the study showed that the majority of the articles emphasized the digitalization of supply chain management, acknowledging the fundamentals, applications, and prospects, revealing the drivers and challenges of Industry 4.0 technologies to manage disruptions. Most of the authors identified IoT, big data, cloud computing, additive manufacturing, and blockchain to maintain the supply chain resilience. Originality/value: Existing literature on epidemics lacks the basics and practices of utilizing Industry 4.0 technologies in the supply chain recovery process. To fill this research gap, the study summarizes the potential of Industry 4.0 technologies to lessen supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19. The study findings are valuable for policymakers and practitioners and contribute to supply chain management studies.

“…There also exists a gap in hardware related technical skills especially in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals where the devices cannot be easily embedded while ensuring quality and safety. Designing and controlling the IoT infrastructure remains a challenge [51]. Changes in the broader labor landscape will require an intervention from the policy makers to secure future skills and help SMEs cope with the change.…”

The paper is a conceptual study of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) technology adoption and diffusion with a focus on impact on IoT adoption during COVID-19. The paper proposes that the pandemic has acted as a legitimizing force for technology adoption and diffusion amongst SMEs. SME's have adopted response strategies to cope with the pandemic that have an impact on their propensity to adopt new technology. This has resulted in increased uncertainty, which can be reduced through the strategies identified in this paper. Through literature review on SME IoT adoption during the pandemic, a gap is identified in current studies. This gap is addressed through the inclusion of case-studies and use-cases. The paper can be used as a reference by SMEs for strategy making to reduce information uncertainty, policy makers to support SMEs as well as academicians for further research.

Lean–agile–resilience–green practices adoption challenges in sustainable agri‐food supply chains

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Supply chain practitioners are striving to improve the performance of agri‐food supply chains (AFSC) due to the lack of understanding of the mutual impacts of lean, agile, resilience, and green (LARG) practices in improving the performance of AFSC. There is a lack of specific methods to assess the power of their subsequent attributes. This paper identifies 12 unique challenges related to the implementation of LARG practices under the context of AFSC. The identification of challenges and the interdependency relationships among the LARG challenges are developed using a multistage approach. The multistage approach is composed of the generalized interval‐valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (GIVTFNs), the degree of similarity method, and the decision‐making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The finding of the study indicates that “Lack of understanding between the customer and other stakeholder requirements” and “Lack of transparency and trust” are the most significant challenges in the cause group and are the driving elements for implementing LARG practices. Furthermore, “Lack of competitive advantages” and “Lack of monitoring and auditing the ongoing supply chain activities” fall under the effect category, which are influenced by the cause groups' challenges. The identified challenges can be controlled and handled strategically on a priority basis for successfully implementing LARG practices in the agri‐food industry. The finding of study will help practitioners to overcome the LARG challenges and to improve the overall performance of AFSC.
