“…The study involved a literature review on methodologies for the assessment of RFID sustainability in various sectors [13,33]. Gladysz and Kluczek [13] presented the results of the analysis of 53 papers related to "RFID sustainability" limited to fragmentary aspects of sustainability or specific application areas, i.e., a specific sustainability dimension (e.g., environmental), the impact (mostly positive) of RFID applications on the sustainability of the improved system (e.g., air luggage), the specific industry (e.g., fresh food supply chain) or the sustainability of RFID system in categories of its production (manufacturing of RFID hardware), waste generated, energy consumed during production, etc.…”

“…As a result of many years of sustainability assessment research, for example, Denuwara et al [33] described environmental, economic, and social impacts of using RFID in the apparel value chain, stressing out a source of waste and investment cost. More focus was put on the social perspective of RFID assessment in the same industry, when considering tagging finished goods delivered to consumers or checking the carbon footprint of the purchased product, or solutions for foods and drugs traceability that minimizes waste and health risks [13]. Gladysz and Kluczek [13] adopted social indicators accepted in the study [19] to check their applicability in RFID systems.…”

Gladysz and Kluczek [13] adopted social indicators accepted in the study [19] to check their applicability in RFID systems. This social impact was measured by three indicators covering the whole life cycle of RFID systems through measuring (i) public acceptability; (ii) safety; and (iii) human health effects from external air quality.…”

“…However, these described in [13] are fragmentary approaches and they lack modular structuring based on the techno-organizational characteristics of the assessed system and wholeness. This holistic approach, although based on the triple bottom line paradigm [35], i.e., economic, environmental, social issues, results from the lack of a relationship between them in order to find crisp boundaries.…”

“…Much effort was devoted to develop approaches, tools, and related sustainability-oriented indicators that might be integrated into the overall consistent sustainability assessment method in manufacturing [39]. Gladysz and Kluczek [13] proposed to assess RFID from two contrary environmental perspectives, i.e., as the source of new waste (e.g., tags are electronic waste) and the decrease of inefficiencies (such as excessive stocks, transportation, overproduction, etc.). It is still needed to assess what amount of waste is generated yearly (tags, readers, etc.)…”

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has become a widely accepted manufacturing paradigm across a wide range of industries. It includes an array of various approaches, tools, techniques, and methods. They were known to researchers before, but when combined they build a new reality, which needs procedures for the assessment of technologies and manufacturing processes. Current assessment methods often fail to incorporate economic, environmental, and social impacts simultaneously in an integrated way. The potential implementation of a sustainability assessment procedure on a larger scale is seen for (well-developed) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The measures for assessment were identified through a literature review and validated by expert panels. Validation measures were quantified using multi-criteria decision making (AHP). Criteria ranking was used for reasoning if the assumed modular structure responded to the experts’ needs. To connect the existing research gap, a holistic and integrated assessment method for I4.0 applications, depicted in a structured way and tailored for RFID technology, is developed, which constitutes a research gap in current literature on this topic. Results showed that a modularized structure of approach (module—group of measures—measures [as indicators]) for RFID sustainability assessment, which depends on the complexity of this technology, may be a convenient method for assessment of I4.0 technologies. It was confirmed that all sustainability perspectives are important due to their contributions to supporting decisions and should be considered in the assessment of RFID. On the other hand, it can help managers and practitioners implement the assessment method in their practice to reduce pollution and save the environment.

Industry 4.0 (I4) as a concept offers powerful opportunities for many businesses. The set of Industry 4.0 technologies is still discussed, and boundaries are not perfectly clear. However, implementation of Industry 4.0 concept becomes strategic principle, and necessary condition for succeeding on turbulent markets. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was used before I4 emerged. However, it should be treated as its important part and even enabler. The question arises how adoption of RFID was impacted by I4 paradigm. Therefore, to answer this question a set of technology management tools was selected and applied to forecast RFID potential development in forthcoming years. Moreover, case studies were conducted for technology management tools and their applications for RFID for qualitative discussion of its relevance. It aimed to prove that existing toolset should be applied for modern technologies related to I4. Tools were proven to be necessary and successful. However, some specific challenges were observed and discussed.

Forecasting the final cost of construction projects during the construction phases is challenging, particularly for long-duration projects, due to the rise in uncertainties associated with future cost performance index values after report dates and the impact of many factors on cost performance. Current practices, along with existing methods and models, often assume that the cost performance index (CPI) achieved at the report date will continue as is for the remaining work and they fail to assess the risk of cost overruns. This assumption may not be true, as in many cases, the cost performance may change due to the impact of many factors. Thus, this paper aims to introduce a new multi-method fuzzy-based forecasting model to forecast the project’s final cost and to circumvent the limitations and setbacks of the used models and methods. It integrates earned value concepts with expert judgment using fuzzy logic to address the limitations of current practice in forecasting a project’s final cost during construction. Factors influencing future cost performance were identified through conducting in-depth literature reviews and expert interviews. The identified factors were then weighed using the relative importance index and pairwise comparisons. The top five most important factors are labor productivity, rework percentage, manpower availability, subcontractor management, and project plan controllability. These factors were then utilized to define the uncertainty associated with the future cost performance according to a project management team’s experience, using fuzzy numbers for forecasting the project’s final cost. Validation with real construction projects showed that the model provides more accurate predictions of completion costs through straightforward calculations. The model has been implemented in a computer application that is integrated with commercial scheduling software (P6 Professional).
