“…This method is based on the fact that parts with similar processing requirements are grouped into groups called (part families), and their needs are planned as one batch [13]. This method has an apparent effect in reducing storage costs, preparation costs, planning, and implementation, as elements that have similar characteristics from a design point of view (formal) are combined into a part family [14].…”

Focusing on production processes is the decisive factor in managing an efficient supply chain that leads to the company's success. The objective constraints in the model include all the goals the company seeks to achieve and the level to achieve for each. In addition to clarifying the contribution of each decision variable in achieving the specified levels of the different goals, the conclusions reached are the results that prove the possibility of solving a problem. Applying the mathematical model according to the demand for parts (derived from the demand for the final product) contributed significantly to saving the stock of raw materials, as (100) refers to the quantity that is kept as a regular stock for the first week and varies from one week to another according to the change in demand. As a result of reducing the stock of materials, the costs associated with it will decrease, and the difference can be seen in the total costs of storing raw materials and semimanufactured parts, which is estimated at (47929.1) Iraqi dinars) for the storage of materials and parts for all weeks, according to the planning periods established by the company. By applying the genetic algorithm, the total storage costs were calculated, and it was (13024.8) Iraqi dinars, which is the most critical indicator of success in improving the supply chain performance.

“…As part of green procurement activities, remanufacturing operations lay a strong emphasis on the integration of shop‐floor workflows and process automation, using front‐end technologies (such as 3‐D printers, robotics, and human–machine interface) in order to improve operational efficiency, and thereby provide a smooth flow of information across key strategic firms (Bag, Dhamija, et al, 2021). Moreover, remanufacturing activities reflect the process‐level coordination among various functional areas to inculcate advanced product design (Fadeyi & Monplaisir, 2022), development of intelligent materials (Schulz‐Mönninghoff et al, 2023), design for product reuse (Bhatia et al, 2022), product–service systems (Nag et al, 2022), and various business models that, in the end, retain the intrinsic value of the products being re‐circulated between points of use and production (Govindan, 2022; Niu et al, 2022). The degree to which, manufacturing organizations have successfully deployed I4.0 technologies may effectively determine the effectiveness of green procurement and remanufacturing (Wijayasundara et al, 2022), leading to the formulation of the following hypotheses:H4 An organization's degree of I4.0 implementation positively influences its green procurement activities.H5 An organization's degree of I4.0 implementation positively influences its remanufacturing activities.…”

As regulatory authorities emphasize sustainable practices, manufacturing organizations rely on Industry 4.0 technologies to shift their business model from a linear to a circular economy. While intuitively this transformation seems straightforward, in reality, it is rather nuanced, thereby necessitating scholarly investigation into process‐based antecedents of circular economy performance of organizations. This study used structural equation modeling to analyze empirical data from 278 Indian manufacturers. Largely, the results demonstrate that the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies does have a significant effect on the performance of the circular economy within these organizations, owing to their strong influence on green procurement and remanufacturing activities. Additionally, the results show that these process activities (e.g., green procurement and remanufacturing) do mediate the interaction between the deployment of Industry 4.0 and circular economy performance.

“…Coordination of flows in the direct and return chain and placing them in parallel next to each other create a closed-loop supply chain. It includes direct reuse, repair, modernisation, and reproduction (Bhatia et al, 2022;S. Kumar & Yamaoka, 2007).…”

The role and meaning of sustainable development have been recognized in the scientific literature for decades. However, there has recently been a dynamic increase in interest in the subject, which results in numerous, in-depth scientific research and publications with an interdisciplinary dimension. This edited volume is a compendium of theoretical knowledge on sustainable development. The context analysed in the publication includes a multi-level and multi-aspect analysis starting from the historical and legal conditions, through elements of the macro level and the micro level, inside the organization.Organizing Sustainable Development offers a systematic and comprehensive theoretical analysis of sustainable development supplemented with practical examples, which will allow obtaining comprehensive knowledge about the meaning and its multi-context application in practice. It shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic and will be of interest to students at an advanced level, academics and reflective practitioners in the fields of sustainable development, management studies, organizational studies and corporate social responsibility.
