Given the resource-intensive nature of automotive manufacturing processes and their potential to substantially contribute to ecological footprints, the integration of sustainable logistic practices in the context of digital transformation becomes imperative. This paper focuses on the implementation of green supply chain strategies within the automotive sector, targeting significant risks associated with environmental impact, specifically in the critical domain of automotive paint shops. Automotive paint shops indeed play a significant part in determining the overall sustainability of automotive production. Recognized for their role in vehicle esthetics and corrosion protection, the sustainable integration of these facilities is crucial in the pursuit of a greener automotive future. A comprehensive multi-criteria decision-making framework is herein proposed as a valuable tool in pinpointing the most critical barriers to digital transformation and simultaneously prioritizing suitable green logistic strategies in the context of automotive paint shop risk-management procedures. The practical utility of the model extends to practitioners in the automotive paint shop supply chain, particularly those engaged in digitalizing critical operations, facilitating well-informed decision-making aligned with environmental sustainability goals. The findings of this research highlight the critical importance of implementing tailored strategies, including crisis preparedness, transparent communication, proactive outreach, and strategic investments in technology and partnerships, to address barriers and enhance sustainability practices within automotive paint shop operations, thereby contributing to the overall resilience and long-term viability of automotive supply chains.

“…But if at one time the economy is experiencing a decline, it means that the economy has a bad impression. (Bilgin et al, 2021) (Pichler et al, 2021) divides three main factors or components that influence the economic growth of a region, the three are capital accumulation, population growth, and technological progress. Capital accumulation includes all types of investment, whether made by the government or the private sector, invested in the form of land, physical equipment, and resource capital.…”

“…On the other hand, relatively stagnant conditions were shown by the rate of economic growth, although it still showed signs of inconsistency in the movement of economic growth, which was still at 7%. In the long term (8 years) fluctuating movements in capital expenditures can normatively be followed by graphs of economic growth (Pichler et al, 2021). On the other hand, other factors such as the labor force whose graph continues to climb should be able to make economic growth increase by several figures.…”

Pohuwato Regency is an integral part of Gorontalo Province. Much progress and improvement have occurred beyond that of Boalemo Regency as its parent regency, both in terms of public services and the implications for the regional economy. Especially in the Capital Expenditure budget item which continues to increase and the absorption of the workforce is increasingly higher. In the long term (8 years) fluctuating movements in Capital Expenditure can normally be followed by a graph of Economic Growth. On the other hand, other factors such as labor whose graph continues to climb should be able to increase economic growth by several figures. From these problems, an in-depth study of Capital Expenditures and Labor and the extent of their influence on the Economic Growth of Pohuwato Regency is needed. This study aims to determine whether Capital and Labor Expenditures affect the Economic Growth of Pohuwato Regency. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis. The source used in this research is secondary data. Secondary data in this study used time series data for 2007-2014. The result is that the Capital Expenditure and Manpower variables partially and simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on the Economic Growth of Pohuwato Regency from 2007-2014. Among the independent variables, the variable Manpower has the most dominant influence on the Economic Growth of Pohuwato Regency.

“…The automotive industry is one of the most complex industries in the world that presents very significant technological developments, driving economic growth and representing an important employer (Pichler et al, 2021;Wedeniwski, 2015). Over the last decades, the electronic systems present in vehicles have increased not only in quantity, but in complexity and functionality, a consequence of technological development and consumer demands.…”

In recent years there has been an increasing competitiveness in the automotive sector with companies having to respond to an increasingly diverse choice of customers. Additionally, the incorporation of several technological features in cars and the consequent dependence on several electrical systems has increased the complexity and demands of the wire harness manufacturing and testing process. The high variability that these products present has required the production of test equipment highly diverse and, therefore, with a high customisation factor. The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies has proven to confer flexibility to production processes, increasing their efficiency, without compromising quality, production costs and product manufacturing cycle times. Thus, the application of this type of technologies in the industrial context of the production of harness test equipment could prove beneficial. This paper aims to propose a solution network composed by Industry 4.0 technologies and based on the Internet of Things concept, which, in the context of manufacturing methodologies, could make the productive system more efficient and less prone to failures. As a case study, a wire harness test equipment company was analysed.
