In the era of Industry 4.0 and circular economy, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are under huge pressure to make their manufacturing operations ethical and sustainable. Business with ethical and sustainable operations has become the need of the day in the present environment of Industry 4.0 and circular economy. It has been observed that the application of Industry 4.0 technologies may help in achieving the goal of ethical and sustainable operations. Although a lot of research has been done in context to larger enterprises, limited research is available on the application of Industry 4.0 technologies in SMEs for ethical and sustainable operations. The espousal of Industry 4.0 technologies is a challenging task for SMEs due to various operational and financial constraints. The problem is more acute, specifically in context to developing countries like India. Keeping in mind the role of technologies in ethical business and circular economy, we have identified fifteen challenges, impacting the application of Industry 4.0 technologies in SMEs. A questionnaire was designed for collecting the response from industry and academic experts. On the collected data, the DEMATEL approach has been applied to check the degree of influence and interrelationship among challenges. It has also helped in the categorization of factors as cause and effect. Sensitivity analysis is also performed to validate the results obtained from the DEMATEL approach. Authors have observed that lack of motivation from partners and customers on the application of I4.0 technologies is the leading challenge. Fear of failure of I4.0 technologies is the main effect group challenge. The findings of the study will help SMEs in formulating strategies for implementing Industry 4.0 technologies for ethical and sustainable business processes.

“…It is associated with both the operating performance (such as the measures of expense, quality, and resilience) and sustainable performance (such as dealing with individuals and resources effectively to support business expansion) (Zhu, Johnsson, Varisco, & Schiraldi, 2018). In order to increase customer worth, operational excellence is equally concerned with manufacturing processes as it is with waste minimization, and it generates interactions between employees and customers (Chakraborty, Sharma, & Vaidya, 2020; Dev, Shankar, & Qaiser, 2020). The architecture and administration of operational excellence escalate operating profits by achieving stable operational excellence in the production system, which supports customers by offering them correct value for products and services.…”

An investigation of key performance indicators for operational excellence towards sustainability in the leather products industry

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Operational excellence refers to a mixed management structure that enhances the productivity of an industry by exercising the best practices and efforts for continuous improvement. In order to achieve sustainability, operational excellence initiatives are practiced by different organizations. The intent is to investigate how to perform the practices of operational excellence towards sustainability in industries. In the existing literature, some studies investigated key performance indicators (KPIs) for other domains that are not readily applicable in the background of an emerging economy, principally for the leather products industry. To fulfill these research gaps, this study contributes to the operational excellence literature by recognizing the KPIs of operational excellence towards sustainability by examining the peer-reviewed scientific articles and through expert's suggestions. The identified KPIs are segregated into six dominant categories and 27 sub-KPIs in the field of leather products industry. Further, the prioritization of the KPIs is established by adopting the best-worst method (BWM), which involves simple pairwise comparison matrices compared with other multicriteria decision making techniques. The findings indicate that the KPIs under the "Management" category are at the highest priority. It is anticipated that the results originated from the study will support the expert's to appropriately recognize the significant KPIs and drop insignificant KPIs for successful operational excellence towards sustainability practices in the supply chain of the emerging economy.

Analysis of barriers to adopting Industry 4.0 to achieve agri‐food supply chain sustainability: A group‐based fuzzy analytic hierarchy process

Agri‐food supply chains (AFSCs) need to become more sustainable, and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is a crucial enabler. However, various barriers make adopting I4.0 technologies to achieve AFSC sustainability challenging. Few previous studies have examined China's agri‐food industry. Through a literature review and consultation of Chinese experts, we identify 27 barriers in six categories and prioritize these using a group‐based fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to produce novel results. First, we identify six new I4.0 adoption barriers closely linked with China's economic, social and cultural environments, including acquisition of intelligent agricultural equipment subsidies based on guanxi. Second, our prioritization of barriers reveals that the key challenges to applying I4.0 are the increased cost of terminal logistics, acquisition of intelligent agricultural equipment subsidies based on guanxi, low compatibility of I4.0 technologies with existing agricultural equipment, and problems with the government subsidy model. These results have managerial implications for governments and knowledge dissemination organizations.
