Research paper thumbnail of Analysis of Challenges Responsible for the Slow Pace of Industry 4.0 Diffusion

International Journal of Strategic Decision Sciences, 2020

The current study intends to identify and understand the landscape of these challenges. Further, this paper prioritizes the challenges on the basis of their relative importance. To achieve this objective, the authors combine the fuzzy delphi approach along with the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is done to enhance robustness of the findings. The global rankings of the challenges reveal that the most significant factors that hamper the full realization of smart manufacturing include cybersecurity, privacy risks, and enormously high number of technology choices available in the market. The analysis offers insights into the reasons for the slow diffusion of smart manufacturing systems and the results would assist managers, policymakers, and technology providers in the advent of manufacturi...

Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review of 334 studies is carried out. The papers have been analyzed by having a focus on the unit of analysis, research methods used, the key themes covered and how the debate has evolved over a period of time. Findings Findings of the study reveal that scholars have so far focused on principles and practices for digitized SCM, identified enablers and barriers, and considered the Industry 4.0 at various levels, particularly at the firm level. Majority of studies focus on manufacturing from the perspective of the focal firm. Research limitations/implications Limitation of this study is its unit of analysis where only peer-reviewed journal and conference articles published in the English language have been considered.

Research paper thumbnail of An ISM and DEMATEL method approach for the Analysis of Barriers of Waste Recycling in India

Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (1995), Jan 24, 2016

Increasing amount of wastes is posing great difficulties for all countries across the world. The ... more Increasing amount of wastes is posing great difficulties for all countries across the world. The problem of waste management is more severe in developing countries like India where the rates of economic growth and urbanization are increasing at a fast pace. The governments in these countries are often constrained by limited technical and financial capabilities, which prevent them from effectively addressing these problems. There is a limited participation from the private players too in terms of setting up of waste recycling units. The present study aims at identifying various barriers that challenge the establishment of these units, specific to India. Further, it attempts to identify the most influential barriers by utilizing multi-criteria decision making tools of interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and decision making trail and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). The findings of the study suggest that the lack of funds, input material, and subsidy are the most influential barrie...

Research paper thumbnail of Analysis of key factors for waste management in humanitarian response: An interpretive structural modelling approach

International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 2015

Natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes hit a community without any prior signals or warning, resulting in high levels of devastation. This further leads to generation of waste and debris that pose threats to health and safety of associated population as well as hinder the recovery process. Hence, there is a necessity of an effective and efficient management of disaster waste. The present research analyses the factors that affect the successful implementation of disaster waste management. Initially the study aims to identify certain key factors from the literature as well as through consultation from domain experts. Next, the contextual relationship between the factors is studied by using Interpretive Structural Modelling approach. The analysis helps in determining factors that play influential role in disaster waste management. It is revealed that geography & terrain and type of disaster have a direct impact on speed of debris management. Although these factors cannot be controlled, but they must be kept in mind while devising waste management plans in vulnerable areas. The analysis further reveals that donors, disaster affected population and local & regional administration can contribute significantly in successful implementation of a disaster waste management plan. The study highlights how these factors influence other elements in waste management process during humanitarian response. Understanding the significance of these factors and giving them priority while planning and implementing disaster waste management can lead to an efficient relief delivery.
