For this purpose, the goal is to design a complex system based on redundancy allocation by considering the weight and reliability criteria of the system and the maintenance and repair costs through the sustainability approach. In this regard, a mathematical model has been developed. +is model minimizes system reliability and system weight simultaneously. +ere are also budget constraints on repair costs, environmental costs, purchase of spare parts, and energy risk costs. In order to optimize this model, a hybrid algorithm based on Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Simulated Annealing (SA) is proposed. Accordingly, 81 test problems are provided and optimized by the proposed algorithm. +e obtained numerical results indicate that, with increasing failure time of each component, the system’s reliability increases and the weight of the whole system increases. Moreover, changing the Weibull distribution parameters directly aﬀects the total amount of system reliability, but does not have a deﬁnite and accurate eﬀect on the total weight of the system. Moreover, increasing the budget for maintenance leads to ﬁnding solutions with more reliability and less weight.

Our entire economic structure revolves around this one factor. Agriculture is not only an important source of food and raw materials, but it is also an important source of employment opportunities for a significant fraction of the total population. In agriculture food supply chains, also known as ASCs, customers are the ones who pay for the agricultural productsthat farmers produce. During this process, customers place a higher priority on the safety of agriculturally produced foods, while farmers anticipate an increase in their revenues. The effectiveness of traceability and management for agri-food products ismet with a vast array of obstacles as a result of the complexities and dynamism of ASCs. However, the majority of the currently available solutions are not able to satisfactorily meet the standards of ASCs regarding traceability and management[2]. Chen et al., proposeda blockchain-based ASC framework to provide product traceability[1]. This framework guarantees decentralized security for the agriculture food tracing data stored in ASCs. This was done in order to address the problems that have been presented. In order to guarantee the quality of the food, it is critical to have complete visibility into the agricultural supply chain management. Along with that, it improves the overall pleasure of the customers and theproductivity of the peers. The centralized storage of data makes it more difficult to guarantee the items' quality and rate, as well as their point of origin. Consequently, we are in need of a decentralized system that allows for transparency and provideseveryone, from the producers to the consumers, with the satisfaction they seek[4]. The supply chain can now have both greater traceability andtransparency thanks to blockchain technology, which is a form of digital technology. According to Madumidha utilization of this technologyresults in an improvement to the community that exists between the various stakeholders and the farmers. Increased capacity, improved security, immutability, minting, speedier settlement, and full traceability of all recorded transaction records are fundamentally provided by blockchain's features

It is assumed that the adoption of cryptocurrencies would continue to increase. The role of the dependent variables of social influence (SI), transparency (TR), price value (PV), traceability (TRA), and attitude (AT) was examined to identify customer satisfaction as a mediator variable for cryptocurrency adoption. Random sampling was used to ensure that the research objectives were adequately examined. A total of 295 respondents answered the survey questions intended for cryptocurrency users in Malaysia. Data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-LSM). The findings revealed that SI, PV, TRA, and AT were all impactful in terms of AD (dependent variable) through the mediation of customer satisfaction in Malaysia's digital market. However, TR negatively impacts Malaysia's digital market. Future researchers in other regions and industries may be able to reproduce these findings and use similar constructs to add to the present body of knowledge. This study adds to the small body of literature on Bitcoin and digital money. These findings can assist researchers in understanding the role of cryptocurrency and identifying its primary influences on the Malaysian cryptocurrency market.

During this process, customers emphasize the need for agri-food safety, while producers hope to enhance their revenues. Due to the dynamism and complexity of the Bangladesh ASC, the traceability and control of agri-food goods encounter formidable obstacles. Due to their reliance on intermediaries, legal financial hurdles, Ethereum-based financial solutions, etc., however, most existing solutions cannot adequately meet the traceability and management needs of Bangladesh ASC. To solve these issues, the authors proposed an integrated Agri-food supply chain (IASC) model. In this study, a systematic review of the literature was conducted using a thematic analysis method. In a portion of the model, the authors depicted a linear physical flow to illustrate the relationship and function of intermediaries and to explain Bangladesh ASC's dependence on intermediaries. The approach incorporates Blockchain technology and IoT to promote transparency, minimize mistake, prevent product delays, remove unethical and illegal actions, improve supply chain (SC) management, track the whereabouts of the goods, and eventually increase consumer and supplier trust. The article also mentions that crypto currency-based financial transactions between stakeholders in the supply chain are now unlawful in Bangladesh. For blockchain API, a mobile banking and digital payment-based solution has been proposed. Finally, the blockchain-based Hyperledger Sawtooth API has been suggested so that clients can trace the entire history of a product by scanning the QR code on the packaging. Since Bangladesh's economy is primarily based on agriculture, this research can assist in boosting Bangladesh's economy. The paper would also contribute to the reduction of corruption and the improvement of firmer/ grower and consumer satisfaction. The findings also pave the way for future studies to implement blockchain technology in ASC without relying on Ethereum-based financial flow solutions.

Organizations have witnessed a rapid transformation in their performance measurement system in the last few decades, amongst the most widespread tools adopted and implemented is the Balanced Scorecard (BSC). Since its emergence, the mainstream of the Fortune 500 corporations was implementing the BSC. Despite the widespread adoption, a growing body of supply chain management authoritarians and practitioners uncovers constrains in the BSC, particularly in its model, execution and practice. The same group of advocates opposes; these constrains could either undermine the practicality of the BSC or trigger companies to refrain the BSC altogether for better performance measurement alternatives. Hence, the principal objective of this paper is to appraise the BSC as a performance measurement instrument and discuss whether the BSC is in fact an undisputed resolution as a corporate performance measurement model.

The objective of SCM is to incorporate activities across and within organizations for providing the customer/stakeholders value. Supply Chain Management (SCM) has been widely researched in numerous application domains during the last few decades. Despite the popularity of SCM research and applications, considerable confusion remains as to its meaning, there are several attempts made by researchers and practitioners to appropriately define SCM. This paper demonstrates Educational Supply Chain Management, Integrated Tertiary Educational Supply Chain Management (ITESCM) model, as the application of SCM in the service industry, which would add the values towards academia. ITESCM model were identified and confirmed by 493 respondents, representing experts and administrators, faculty, staffs of the university, employers, graduates, etc. The resulting model was subsequently evaluated for accuracy and validity by multiple linear regressions (MLR) analysis and the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. The research model provides a novel approach for decision makers of each supply chain components to review and appraise their performance toward fulfillment of ultimate goals i.e. producing high-caliber graduates and high-impact research outcomes, which represent two main contributions, for the betterment of the end customer, i.e., the society.

It would be very practical to implement a learning environment that includes such technologies. A learning environment created through mobile learning (mLearning) concept is already being used individually by some educators inside or outside the class room and by some administrators to handle and maintain the administrative tasks in educational institutes. But there is inadequate research published to implement mLearning into the traditional learning environment considering the educational institute as one unit. This study focuses on the different criteria that an educational institute (not individual) should consider before implementing mLearning into their traditional learning system.

Creating an industry-specific configuration (sales chain) and extending it to a more general configuration can be useful for companies that want to use the block network in the future or want to understand better block chain technology. In areas other than computer science and finance, there is little scientific study in block technology. Expanding the study area is key to understanding this new technology trend and supply chain management is a key technology development in the coming years. This study is based on a survey of the strategic fit of Malaysian transport management chains. In addition, the key findings of the specific strategic adjustment are to find indicators on the type of supply chains with blocking technology that can have positive strategic implications. Despite the fact that the block pipeline revolutionises business and redefines logistics, existing study is limited in order to categorise the application possibilities of the framework and its consequences. Based on academic and literary knowledge, we classify the possible applications for adoption and provide a framework for identifying the blocking potential of the logistics sector, helping systematically evaluate managers, and begin developing organisational capabilities for successful adaptation and deployment of technology.

It is also a fact for the companies that produce and distribute products services. Academic supply chain is an institution that manage and distribute the graduates in real work life or in similar institution. In fact, such supply chains must be treated more precisely. Research shows that companies that successfully complete the digital supply chain will reduce costs by an average of 20% while increasing revenues by 10%. There are several key factors in the transformation of the traditional supply chain into the digital supply chain. The key is to understand the client; This is the society in the Academic Supply Chain. The development of the Digital Supply Chain (DSC) may be the most important and most valuable conversion any organization faces and will go through in the next decade. With this, the costs of the front panel fins, the acquisitions and the production control are focused on the traditional tasks centered on the client. The traditional processes of the supply chain have some constrain to do proper management in academic supply chain. With the introduction of Industry 4.0, this transformation proved to be more relevant to the management of the digital supply chain. Different industries are moving towards the management of the digital supply chain, although supply chains are very complex. The objective of the research is to explore the possibilities and forms of digital transformation of the traditional academic supply chain and a requirement model process for the academic supply chain.

But an educational institute may not possess a general strategy to implement mLearning into the traditional learning environment. Implementing a new process into the traditional process requires to establish a proper educational outcome. Hence, just a defined set of criteria to implement mLearning into the traditional learning environment would not convince the decision makers of an educational institute. Considering educational institute as a service industry, an educational supply chain management can be considered to map the educational outcome with and without mLearning environment. This study investigates the Education Supply Chain Management (ESCM) model, maps different criteria of mLearning with the ESCM models, and attempts to establish a set of integration criteria to embed mLearning into ESCM model.
