“…Quality improvement benefits include faster execution, quality control, defect identification, customer acceptance, staff satisfaction, timely data, waste reduction and more [37,39,40,41]. Value orientation focuses on the customer, driving improvements in performance, productivity and requires the ability to estimate appropriate levels of effort [33,39,42,43,44,45]. Outcomes are more predictable with conventional tools [46].…”

“…Digital transformation does not have to be disruptive to the organization. Simulationbased Lean-Six Sigma (LSS), modeling operations, digital supply chain integration, and using Big Data with Lean, are all options to the modern technical, quantitative organization [42,48,68,74]. Integrated implementation makes digital gains stable, sustainable, and magnified [47,66,69,72].…”

<p>Abstract: Public sector organizations must avoid expensive, inefficient cost or schedule variances that exhaust the resources of a project, and in response many deploy digital initiatives without clear, direct evidence of a quantifiable return on investment. This investigation determined if digital initiatives have a measurable return on investment for projects in the public sector, and could rationalize investment. A systematic review questioned, In public sector organizations, does the evidence suggest that the application of operational excellence ensures a ROI from digital initiatives? Scientific Management was the theoretical lens. The findings and conclusions of 43 peer-reviewed scholarly articles provided the data on optimization, digitalization, their synergy and benefits. The key findings are: 1. The combination of digitalization and optimization has quantifiable positive effect; 2. The combination makes benefits predictable; 3. The combination is testable with incremental deployment; 4. The combination makes the return on investment measurable; 5. The combination is compatible with any office design. This research improves understanding of how to quantify and deliberately plan the impact of digital initiatives. Mangers should: 1. Select the intended human outcome (customer value or staff effectiveness), then 2. Make five key management choices, 3. Select an optimization toolset, and 4. Implement the appropriate Industry 4.0 technology.</p>

“…Previous research indicated gaps in literature both empirically and theoretically concerning the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on SCs and SC sustainability under the pandemic (Chowdhury et al , 2021; Settembre Blundo et al , 2019), the impacts of the pandemic in the waste supply chain (Appolloni et al , 2021) and in other industrial sectors (Paul and Chowdhury, 2020). Concurrently, other studies underlined the need for considering eco-innovation practices for overcoming the sustainability issues triggered by CODIV-19 in India (Marimuthu et al , 2021) and furthermore, how problem-solving approaches (such as lean six sigma’s define-measure-analyze-improve-control) could improve the practical application of SCs (Settembre Blundo et al , 2019; Tay and Loh, 2021).…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on exports of goods and services, logistics performance, environmental management system (ISO 14001) certification and quality management system (ISO 9001) certification in top affected Asian countries of India, Iran, Indonesia, Philippines, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach A novel grey relational analysis models’ approach is used to examine the inter-relationship between COVID-19 economic growth and environmental performance. Moreover, the authors applied a conservative (maximin) model to investigate which countries have the least intensifying affected among all of the top affected COVID-19 Asian countries based on the SS degree of grey relation values. The data used in this study was collected from multiple databases during 2020 for analysis. Findings Results indicate that the severity of COVID-19 shows a strong negative association and influence of COVID-19 on the exportation of goods and services, logistics performance, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications in all the six highly affected countries during a pandemic outbreak. Although the adverse effects of COVID-19 in exporting countries persisted until December 31, 2020, their magnitude decreased over time in Indonesia and Pakistan. During the COVID-19 outbreak, Pakistan showed comparatively better performance among the six top highly affected Asian countries due to its smart locked down strategy and prevents its economy from severe damages. While India and Iran export drastically go down due to a rapid increase in the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths. Research limitations/implications The research findings produce much-required policy suggestions for leaders, world agencies and governments to take corrective measures on an emergent basis to prevent the economies from more damages and improve their logistics, environmental and quality performance during the pandemic of COVID-19. Originality/value This study develops a framework and investigates the intensifying effects of COVID-19 effects on economic growth, logistics performance, environmental performance and quality production processes.
