Organizations now use warehouse efficiency as a centre of expertise or a strategic weapon. A warehouse that works well can meet customer needs quickly and helps a business do better. So, the goal of this study is to look at how the attributes of a warehouse affect warehouse efficiency. This study looks at two attributes about warehouses: their layout and warehouse operations. A literature review was first conducted to find the role of warehouse attributes (layout and operation) in warehouse efficiency to draw lessons from the literature. The articles that were published between 2019 and 2022 were examined. The authors evaluated the studies' eligibility, retrieved data from the studies that were included, and assessed the study's quality and bias risk. Several studies showed that the attributes of a warehouse make a big difference in how well it works by showing the good effects on efficiency. Also, a warehouse is more efficient when it is set up in a way that makes it easy to meet customer needs quickly. Along with how the warehouse is set up, warehouse operations are a key part of making it more efficient. Layout and operations work together to make a warehouse more efficient as a whole.
ICT plays a vital role in enhancing supply chain operations, leading to improved efficiency and productivity within the industry. This study aims to examine how information and communication technologies can improve supply chain management's efficiency and effectiveness through a comprehensive literature review. The study utilized various databases such as Scopus, Emerald, Sage, spring link and Taylor. The study employed a predefined search strategy that used "ICT in Supply Chain" as the primary keyword search term. Additionally, the study examined research articles published from 2018 to 2023. Initially, 1086 references were retrieved, but eventually, only 10 articles were deemed eligible and met the inclusion criteria for the analysis. The key findings and suggestions of each selected publication have been carefully considered and synthesized. The study outlines future research opportunities and highlights the consequence of continued leveraging ICT for sustainable and competitive supply chain management practices. Nevertheless, the study suggested that there is a need to strengthen the implementation of ICT in supply chain management to enhance the performance and efficiency of supply chain operations and their members. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of implementing ICT tools in supply chain sectors while considering factors hindering ICT utilization in supply chains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
