Item Open Access Advancing sustainability and efficiency in supply chains: insights from the special issue on sustainable supply chain and lean manufacturing [Editorial](MDPI, 2023-10-18) Jagtap, Sandeep; Afy-Shararah, Mohamed; Raut, Rakesh; Gupta, SumitItem Open Access Advancing the digital frontier in agri-food supply chains(Wiley, 2024-03-31) Jagtap, Sandeep; Raut, Rakesh; Dani, SamirIn recent years, the agri-food industry has witnessed a transformative wave propelled by digital technologies, revolutionizing the way we perceive and manage the entire supply chain. This special issue delves into the intricate landscape of digital solutions and their profound impact on enhancing transparency, security, and efficiency within agri-food supply chains.Item Open Access Challenges to Lean 4.0 in the pharma supply chain sustainability(Springer, 2023-08-25) Tetteh, Michelle Grace; Jagtap, Sandeep; Gupta, Sumit; Raut, Rakesh; Salonitis, KonstantinosThe Pharma sector is increasingly under pressure to improve the sustainability of supply chains, as consumers and regulators require greater transparency, efficiency, and accountability. Although Lean 4.0 has created a lot of buzz in the organization, the pharmaceutical sector faces challenges in implementing it. The main goal of this literature review is to identify the challenges of Lean 4.0 for the sustainability of the pharma supply chains (PSCs). A series of papers extracted from the most relevant scientific databases, including the Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and ProQuest was analyzed and synthesized from 2007 to 2022. 31 articles were used in the study. The findings of the study indicate that challenges include financial, staff experience and specialization, ongoing maintenance, resources for generating new skills and experiences, employees, and partners’ resistance to changes in regulations, and cyber-hacking of key information. The results will facilitate future work by practitioners and researchers and make an important contribution to existing knowledge.Item Open Access Ensuring food security and sustainability in the face of crises(Wiley, 2023-08-11) Jagtap, Sandeep; Litos, Lampros; Raut, Rakesh; Gupta, Sumit; Grover, AbhayItem Open Access From failure to success: a framework for successful deployment of Industry 4.0 principles in the aerospace industry(Emerald, 2023-08-30) Gupta, Sumit; Joshi, Deepika; Jagtap, Sandeep; Trollman, Hana; Haddad, Yousef; Atescan Yuksek, Yagmur; Salonitis, Konstantinos; Raut, Rakesh; Narkhede, BalkrishnaPurpose The paper proposes a framework for the successful deployment of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) principles in the aerospace industry, based on identified success factors. The paper challenges the perception of I4.0 being aligned with de-skilling and personnel reduction and instead promotes a route to successful deployment centred on upskilling and retaining personnel for future role requirements. Design/methodology/approach The research methodology involved a literature review and industrial data collection via questionnaires to develop and validate the framework. The questionnaire was sent to a purposive sample of 50 respondents working in operations, and a response rate of 90% was achieved. Content analysis was used to identify patterns, themes, or biases, and the data were tabulated based on specific common attributes. The proposed framework consists of a series of gates and criteria that must be met before progressing to the next gate. Findings The proposed framework provides a feedback mechanism to review minimum standards for successful deployment, aligned with new developments in capability and technology, and ensures quality assessment at each gate. The paper highlights the potential benefits of I4.0 implementation in the aerospace industry, including reducing operational costs and improving competitiveness by eliminating variation in manufacturing processes. The identified success factors were used to define the framework, and the identified failure points were used to form mitigation actions or controls for inclusion in the framework. Originality/value The paper provides a framework for the successful deployment of I4.0 principles in the aerospace industry, based on identified success factors. The framework challenges the perception of I4.0 as being aligned with de-skilling and personnel reduction and instead promotes a route to successful deployment centred on upskilling and retaining personnel for future role requirements. The framework can be used as a guideline for organizations to deploy I4.0 principles successfully and improve competitiveness.Item Open Access A performance measurement system for industry 4.0 enabled smart manufacturing system in SMMEs- A review and empirical investigation(Elsevier, 2020-07-10) Kamble, Sachin S.; Gunasekaran, Angappa; Ghadge, Abhijeet; Raut, RakeshThe smart manufacturing systems (SMS) offer several advantages compared to the traditional manufacturing systems and are increasingly being adopted by manufacturing organizations as a strategy to improve their performance. Developing an SMS is expensive and complicated, integrating together various technologies such as automation, data exchanges, cyber-physical systems (CPS), artificial intelligence, internet of things (IoT), and semi-autonomous industrial systems. The Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) have limited resources and therefore, would like to see the benefits from investments before allowing adopting SMS. This study uses a combination of exploratory and empirical research design to identify and validate the performance measures relevant to the evaluation of SMS investments in auto-component manufacturing SMMEs based in India. The study found that an Industry 4.0 enabled SMS offer more competitive benefits compared to a traditional manufacturing system. The planned investments in SMS can be evaluated on ten performance dimensions namely, cost, quality, flexibility, time, integration, optimized productivity, real-time diagnosis & prognosis, computing, social and ecological sustainability. Proposed novel Smart Manufacturing Performance Measurement System (SMPMS) framework is expected to guide the practitioners in SMMEs to evaluate their SMS investments
