Big Data IoT-based Agile-Lean Logistic in Pharmaceutical Industries

Abstract

In today's world, with the presence of huge volumes of data, although organizations have faced many problems, using big data analysis has been able to significantly improve their efficiency and integrate information in the supply chain through the topic of computing. Cloud and big data achieve coordination between components and improve communication. On the other hand, Internet of Things (IoT) technology tools are one of the most important sources of big data production, and understanding and correct use of this data and their timely analysis using big data analysis techniques and technologies based on artificial intelligence can be effective steps to improve supply chain processes. Also, the use of these technologies can play an important role in process agility and, as a result, supply chain resilience. Methodology: In this study, the dimensions and key components of the use of large data obtained from the Internet of Things (IoT) in an industry's supply chain are investigated as a case study. Finally, a model for implementing an agile and lean supply chain based on IoT data analysis to improve the supply chain performance of these industries during emergency drug distribution during critical conditions is presented. Findings: This study shows that these technologies can be used as a powerful enabler, especially in the distribution of fast-acting pharmaceutical products. Originality/Value: In this paper a model for implementing an agile and lean supply chain based on IoT data analysis to improve the supply chain performance of these industries during emergency drug distribution during critical conditions is presented.

The Impact of Blockchain Technology and The Internet of Things on the Agile and Sustainable Supply Chain

“…Diamonds and minerals require proof of authenticity. This includes knowing where these goods are sourced, ownership assets, authenticity, certifications and safety features (Aliahmadi et al, 2022c).…”

“…The ability to establish instant trust in recorded transactions can lead to improved efficiency in many functions related to supply chain operations, including monetary exchanges, operational transactions, contracting, sourcing, etc., without the exclusive need for a centralized system . Blockchain technology provides the possibility of documentation and presentation of documents and documents, and as a result, facilities such as full tracking and tracing of the places where goods are placed, how to prepare, buy, allocate and use them are also provided (Aliahmadi et al, 2022c). It is obvious that the use of this technology improves transparency and accountability and facilitates the authentication process of goods and materials received.…”

The role of big data in digital transformation

“…To succeed in digital transformation, the entire business must be involved. To take full advantage of the opportunities that digital technologies can offer, there is a need to fundamentally redesign, then deploy, business models, activities, processes, and competencies (Aliahmadi et al, 2022).…”

Understanding the nexus among big data analytics capabilities, green dynamic capabilities, supply chain agility and green competitive advantage: the moderating effect of supply chain innovativeness

“…They argued that big data represents a revolution that will change lifestyles, professions and ways of people thinking (Mikalef et al ., 2020). Businesses that can obtain and analyze the data are crucial in creating value for their organization (Aliahmadi et al ., 2022). Therefore, adopting big data analytics is vital for firms to detect risks and enhance competitiveness during environmental disturbances (Piccarozzi et al ., 2022; Waqas et al ., 2021).…”
