Employing a bibliometric analysis approach, a comprehensive search of the Scopus database was conducted using relevant keywords related to poultry farming risk and technology utilization. The search spanned from 2002 to 2022, yielding 345 pertinent documents. This study presents an overview of the current state of publications concerning poultry farming risk and its intersection with technology utilization. It delves into citation patterns, prevalent themes, and authorship analysis, focusing on the role of technology in mitigating risks. The comprehensive citation analysis highlights the impact of technology-related studies in the field. Frequency analysis employed Microsoft Excel, while VOSviewer facilitated data visualization. Harzing's Publish or Perish software was used for citation metrics and analysis. The findings reveal a consistent increase in publications on risk in poultry farming since 2002, particularly in relation to technology utilization. The United States emerges as the most active country in this area of research, with Wageningen University from the Netherlands identified as the most prolific institution contributing significantly to risk in poultry farming research, including technology applications. The research involved 32 scholars from 70 different countries and 32 distinct institutions, reflecting the multi-authorship and multicultural nature of the research. It is important to note that this paper focuses solely on the Scopus database, while future researchers may consider alternative databases for new studies, recognizing the expanding role of technology in addressing risks in the poultry farming industry.

Factors that been proposed in this article includes inventory management, warehouse management and transportation management. It will also be discussing others general factors that affecting the logistics performance. A comprehensive discussion on all three variables been done in order to provides greater insight on the factors that affecting the logistics performance. These comprehensive reviews include the management of inventory, warehousing and transportation and provides greater definition on the variables terminology that are related. Therefore, a framework has been proposed for further study

Consequently, the problem of spare parts unavailability has lead the organization towards unproductive and eventually impact the financial performance. Therefore, maintaining good system has direct connection with spare parts availability. The inventory planner always strive hard to ensure that the spare parts are always available for the maintenance used. Nevertheless, maintaining high inventories of spare parts often conflict from meeting the needs of equipment reliability for the manufacturing plant. In view of this situation, management of spare parts become critical in ensuring the equipment reliability. This paper describes an innovative risk quantification technique using Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) for the spare parts inventory control. The technique modified the BDD concept by translating the failure history into binary decision. F...

Inaccurate time estimation is one of the major causes of the software development failure. Inaccurate time estimation mostly creates time pressure that causes several negative impacts on software developers’ mental and physical health. The past studies had also believed that burnouts and job turnover problems happened due to time pressure. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore time pressure with human behavior to see if they can make any relation. By this way, one can explore the hidden patterns between time pressure and human behavior in software engineering. In order to carry out the study, personality and time pressure studies are explored in general to see if past studies had ever made any space for software domain. Moreover, based on the limited selected studies, the literature review identifies that several authors had correlated the time pressure with personality. Unfortunately, time pres...

There are two modes of delivering the natural gas which are the pipeline system and ships. In view of this, there are risks faced by producer in dealing with the supply of natural gas. The risk can be categorized as market risk, supply risk, and transportation risk. Market risk refers to the risk of macroeconomic, supply risk refers to risk of physical distribution in gas supplies and transportation risk refers to a set of accidental leakage scenarios that happen when the delivering occur.

This study is accomplished by using survey questionnaire that was answered by 65 respondents from Malaysian automotive components manufacturing firms. This study used the SPSS tool to test the hypotheses. The study found that quality management practices act as a quasi moderator towards relationship between supply chain strategy and supply chain performance. This study also empirically proved that for highly quality management practices, it can be as a strategy for improvement of supply chain performance. Implications of the finding are further elaborated.

Previous studies on supply chain integrations focuses more on inter-organizational relationships and ignoring inter-personal relationships. In this study an exploratory multiple case studies in Malaysia is used. We realize that in the early stage of supply chain integration, inter-personal relationships are identified as a precursor to building Inter-organizational relationships. During the operational stage, the two levels of relationships continuously interact with each other, until the end of the entire life-cycle of the dyad, inter-personal relationships helps in the emergence and growth pf IORs while the latter often uses these ties to negotiate for resource acquisition.
