“…(3) 5S (Sort, Set, Shin, Standardise and Sustain) technique. The aim of the implementation of 5S in the organization is organizing a workspace to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing system and the effectiveness of labors and measure the performance, hence this technique works to identify and store the items, maintain the cells, workshop, floors, facility, and sustain the new order (Indrawati et al, 2018). The process of taking a suitable decision usually comes from a conversation about standardization, which builds well understanding among employees on how they should perform their work (e.g.…”

PurposeThis work reports on a developing method time measurement system for measuring manufacturing and assembly processes automatically. This automatic system enables the production engineers and management to detect, process, and display concise and accurate information about the operations in real time.Design/methodology/approachThis system is based on Internet of things technology and RFID-antenna. This methodology consists of seven main steps and one final optimization step. Mainly, the operator is equipped by RFID reader, and the work station tools and devices are provided by RFID tags. Responding the RFID tags to the reader will refer to the certain operations, the difference time between start and end of the operations will be collected immediately and calculated by the microprocessor of the system.FindingsThis automatic system is promising, considering the accurate time measurements and recommendations that obtained from the case study which includes measuring manual assembly operations to be followed in order to overcome the limitations which are not only technical but also managerial, legal and organizational.Research limitations/implicationsThe acquired data about timing and duration of individual operations are anonymized to guarantee the compliance with respect to the privacy laws (GDPR and Italian work's laws).Originality/valueThis work presents a unique system to measure the time instead of traditional methods in the factories environment and satisfies the requirements to study the recommendations in order to overcome the challenges.

“…Warehouse activities normally include receiving, storing, order picking and shipping (Staudt et al, 2015). Warehousing plays an important role in the supply chain and has a significant effect on customer service (Calzavara et al, 2017;Indrawati et al, 2018;Pane et al, 2018). Due to increasing competition in the global logistics market, the uncertainty of demand, the potential for human error in labour-intensive processes and the growing interest in Industry 4.0, warehousing companies require technologies to improve their operational performance, make their systems more reliable and efficient and simplify their processes (Atieh et al, 2016).…”

“…Due to increasing competition in the global logistics market, the uncertainty of demand, the potential for human error in labour-intensive processes and the growing interest in Industry 4.0, warehousing companies require technologies to improve their operational performance, make their systems more reliable and efficient and simplify their processes (Atieh et al, 2016). Meanwhile, firms must incorporate sustainable development practices into their warehousing strategies to respond to public awareness and remain competitive in an increasingly socially responsible world (Indrawati et al, 2018;Strandhagen et al, 2017). In the context of warehouse performance measurement and analysis, however, most research to date has focused solely on operational performance at the process levels, and only limited efforts attempt to identify indicators of corporate alignment with both 4.0 technologies in warehousing and sustainability practices simultaneously.…”

Based on a literature review and multiple case studies in China,He et al (2017) identify performance measures for low-carbon logistics, whileIndrawati et al (2018) propose a model of warehouse performance measurement by applying the concepts of balanced scorecard and sustainable supply chain management to identify 12 relevant indicators.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the impacts of Logistics 4.0 initiatives (focusing on automated warehousing systems) on the economic, environmental and social dimensions of firms' sustainability performance. To achieve this objective, a new framework for the assessment of sustainable warehousing in the 4.0 era is developed.Design/methodology/approachThe framework, developed via the item-objective congruence index, Q-sort method and interviews with experts, is employed to assess performance changes through management interviews in two warehousing companies after the implementation of automation technologies.FindingsMost aspects of both companies' sustainability performance are considerably improved (e.g. productivity, accuracy, air emission, worker safety and supply chain visibility); however, the outcome for some criteria might be worsened or improved depending on each company's solutions and strategies (e.g. increasing electricity bills, maintenance costs and job losses).Practical implicationsThe findings provide insight into the effective implementation of warehousing technologies. The proposed framework is also a valid and reliable instrument for sustainability assessment for warehousing operators, which companies can utilise for self-assessment.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to establishing a body of literature that explores the previously unclarified effects of Logistics 4.0 on firms' sustainability performance. The proposed framework, which captures critical concerns of corporate sustainability and technological adaptation, is also the first of its kind for warehouse performance assessment.

“…Tan et al [3] describe in detail their importance, and point out that any change in goals in one type affects the achievement of the goals of the other two types of sustainability. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a balance between the factors of all three types of sustainability [4]. In this regard, engineering has the task to go a step further than seeking sustainable resources and offer systems in which sustainable resources are used in a sustainable way [5].…”

A New Sustainable Warehouse Management Approach for Workforce and Activities Scheduling

et al. 2021

Sustainable engineering is very important for logistics systems. Nowadays, sustainable warehouse management is a key factor in market success. Workforce fluctuation and inverting the number of customers’ demands make a lot of problems in distribution warehouses. This study addresses a sustainable approach for the workforce scheduling problem recognized in a real distribution warehouse. The problem arises from the high variability of demand for workers over one workday, which causes workforce surplus in some periods of the workday and shortages in others. Engineering managers of the distribution warehouse already use different full-time and part-time shifts, and schedule workers on different activities, but they still have significant workforce surpluses or shortages in some periods. This study proposes the scheduling of activities’ execution together with workers to face that variability and decrease the cost of the workforce. This idea comes from the fact that some activities in a distribution warehouse can be done in a specific time period after the need for them occurs. In this way, the variability of demand for workers can be decreased, and a lower workforce cost may be ensured. Based on this idea, the entire problem is modeled as integer linear programming. The real example of the problem is solved, and the proposed model is tested on randomly generated instances of the problem in Python by means of the PuLP linear programming package. The results indicate different positive effects in the manner of sustainable warehouse management: lower workforce costs, time savings, better utilization of all types of resources and equipment, increased employee satisfaction, and so on. For even 61% of instances of the introduced problem, the obtained cost of the workforce is lower by more than 20% if activities’ executions are scheduled together with employees.
