“…• Develop smart logistics/SCM capabilities by using cutting-edge technologies in the operations: it means that organizations need to develop and integrate cutting-edge technologies into their operational processes. This involves internal and external digital supply chain efforts [1]. • Provide integration and real-time interaction with key SCM members: for an organization to achieve effective connectivity integration through its SCM operations, it should resort to cutting-edge technologies like blockchain to enhance realtime interaction and visibility [29,30].…”

“…• Leverage efficient and effective processes through the SCM: with innovative technologies, the traditional SCM is shifting to digital supply chains [1], thereby transforming and remodeling practically all processes to gain efficiency in the network. For instance, the connectivity can lead to improved flexibility, optimized interactions with suppliers around the globe, and real-time inventories, among others [1]. • Optimize the level of services, interconnection and interoperability in the SCM using suitable technologies: cutting-edge connectivity is expected to significantly improve the level of services.…”

“…• Optimize the level of services, interconnection and interoperability in the SCM using suitable technologies: cutting-edge connectivity is expected to significantly improve the level of services. For example, product embedding sensors would enable real-time analysis of operations and thus help optimize transaction efficiency and speed in process delivery, among others [1]. • Improve/generate competitive advantage supported by interconnection and interoperability: if all the dimensions of the SIMPLE framework interact harmoniously, the organization will be able to improve or generate competitive advantage.…”

“…Thus, taking account of the elements as mentioned earlier of the SIMPLE framework, it can be seen that it could help in information sharing and cost reduction. That is, with leveraging the information sharing [3] by the digital connectivity, the logistics systems and SCM should be more responsiveness, by operating with members in a more collaborative way [1]. The SIMPLE framework offers elements in terms of operational, tactical, and strategic levels to provide insights to organizations capture value considering the digital connectivity age.…”

“…However, the existing literature on digital connectivity [1,3,[7][8][9] is scarce, especially in developing frameworks applicable in the logistics and SCM contexts [1]. That is, the unprecedented move in digital connectivity in the fields of logistics and SCM is yet to lure the interest of a significant number of scholars, as the related literature is still at its infancy stage, coupled with the inexistence of a framework that could help to better understand this technology, especially in the aforementioned specialized areas.…”

Industry 4.0 and its related-cutting edge technologies are generating unprecedented changes and bringing complex challenges in practically all types of business. In this context, new concepts such as digital connectivity, interconnection, and interoperability emerged as highly disruptive approaches for logistics systems and supply chain management (SCM). To shed more light on these complexities and see how companies organized in a SCM model can adopt, implement and operate in a digital connectivity model, this study proposes a framework, namely SIMPLE. To develop the framework, we employed a literature review approach, focusing on recent studies published in journals. After the literature analysis, six dimensions related to digital connectivity in supply chains and logistics emerged, namely Smart, Innovative, Measurable, Profitable, Lean, and Excellence (SIMPLE). This framework brings opportunities for future studies, while providing important insights into the dynamics of digital connectivity in logistics and supply chains. Therefore, these SIMPLE framework dimensions should enable the actors involved in organizations' operations to interact adequately and harmoniously so as to maximize the value generated in the network.

This perspectives article outlines and discusses the future of supply chains. The existing challenges and flaws in supply chains design and management are described, motivating the need for the next‐generation supply chains. We present a holistic paradigm for viewing and analyzing supply chains as networks of networks with various dimensions, hierarchies, and players with their various forms of decision‐making. Cyber‐Physical Systems is offered as a key enabler to obtain a digital supply chain exhibiting the features of heterogeneity, interoperability, modularity, customizability, decentralization, autonomy, and cooperativity. The role of virtual assistants is described, along with research directions to create the technology for establishing true digital supply chains. The role of Process Systems Engineering (PSE) is outlined with the hope that the ideas discussed will motivate the PSE community to become active participants in attaining the next‐generation supply chains.

Design for the environment: An ontology‐based knowledge management model for green product development

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Through appropriate operations and policies, such as green processes and product development process (PDP), companies can respond to environmental sustainability.To remain competitive, one such approach, Design for X (DFX), involves considering different environment and sustainable strategies through different factors Xs. With regard to the availability of different DFX techniques that consider environmental issues, the decision as to which approach needs to be adopted remains absent. This paper aims at presenting an overview from 1980 to 2020 of the developed research, applications, and DFX techniques for assessing green issues. Selected DFX techniques are linked with strategies used in organizations. Following a literature analysis, a collaborative knowledge-based framework that addresses the design concepts needed to assess environmental, safety, and health concerns in the development of green products is proposed. Furthermore, as a pillar for considering the Semantic Web and an evolving approach linked with natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI), an ontology-based knowledge management model for green assessment is developed for the representation, acquisition, organization, and capitalization of knowledge in a computer interpretable manner. The findings are useful for both managers and practitioners as they provide a coherent domain ontology that can help them manage knowledge, improve teamwork, and make decisions in a collaborative green PDP. Besides, an understanding of the essential design considerations that are required to implement environmental, safety, and health issues, as well as competencies used in the PDP is presented. Key barriers, managerial and strategic implications, and mitigation actions are also identified in this paper.
