TPM: Factors And Barrier Analysis Towards Maintenance efficiency in Manufacturing Industry
Get PDFPrevious studies indicated that the autonomous maintenance barrier factors are affected the maintenance efficiency. However, most of these studies were conducted in the service industry but not in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the most critical barrier factors towards maintenance efficiency and also to identify the relationship between autonomous maintenance barrier factors and maintenance efficiency in manufacturing industries. Five research hypotheses were examined while considering the autonomous maintenance barrier factors which including lack of top management commitment, lack of training, lack of maintenance knowledge, resistance by employees, and lack of tools and instrument. The findings of this study revealed that lack of tools and instrument is the most critical barrier factor. This quantitative case study is crucial to the manufacturing industry in Malaysia because it provides a broad insight into the correlation between the autonomous maintenance barrier factor and maintenance efficiency
Directions of Digital Technologies Development in the Supply Chain Management of the Russian Economy
Get PDFAbstract— The main objective of this paper is to investigate the digitalization and technologies impact on supply chain management of agricultural industry. This paper provides practical examples of supply chain digitalization, as well as its socio-economic and environmental effects. The absence of processes that are compatible with the high production requirements adopted in foreign markets can lead to crisis phenomena in domestic industries with high potential and rapid growth dynamics in agriculture industry. Agriculture in Russia is an integral part of the agro-industrial complex, and the program “Digitalization of its supply chain” should provide participants with the opportunity to use broadband, mobile, LPWAN communications, information technologies (small and big data, management platforms, etc.) of the domestic instrument industry (tags, controllers, sensors, control units) to improve significantly the efficiency of agriculture. The opportunities for modernizing the industry are huge. Food security of the country and the development of export potential, turn agriculture into a high-tech industry that can not only provide food for itself, but also many countries of the world through the global supply chain system, as well as create opportunities for the introduction of new innovative developments that have not exist before, stimulate management decisions that can provide the population with high-quality and safe products. According to expert estimates, during the season, the farmer has to make more than 40 different decisions in limited time intervals. Many of these solutions, which affect directly the production economy, are objects of digitalization in supply chain

Innovations in Application of Professional Skills Development among Supply Chain Managers
Get PDFAbstract— Professional competencies required in the field of logistics and supply chain management (SCM) are in the process of continuous development since the modern business environment creates a high demand for them. This study was aimed at assessing the state of training systems’ development and the capabilities for their future improvement in terms of creating conditions for effective SCM by skilled labor. In order to achieve the research objective, a comparative analysis of national higher training and logistics systems was performed on the example of Russia and Germany. During the investigation, statistical information, world ratings, and various publications in the public domain were used. These data allowed examining the relationship between the academic environment and SCM practice. Thus, a conclusion was made that a low level of interaction with industrial partners slows down innovation and creates obstacles for managers’ effective preparation. The gap between business and training is the main reason for insufficient qualification of SCM personnel and, as a result, poor logistic performance
Investigation of the Supply Chain Strategy Impact on the Customer Services and Supervisors
Get PDFAbstract— The study aims to identify the supply chain management and its impact on customer service, as well as indicating the role of supply chain management in improving sales and identifying the views of managers working in the corporate about supply chain management. Relying on the mindfulness framework, we argue that dispositional mindfulness has an impact on workplace outcomes, include service climate. Supply chain strategy tested as mediators of this relationship. This study was an explanatory survey among supervisors of the railway transportation service provider in Jakarta, Indonesia. The quota sampling technique was performed. The participants in this study were 357 supervisors. They filled the self-report questionnaires. The data analyzed by using Structural Equation Modelling with Lisrel 8.7 software. Results indicated that those with greater mindfulness report more positive service climate’ perception, and greater supply chain strategy. As expected, the relationship between mindfulness and service climate was mediated by supply chain strategy. The theoretical implication of this study was the empirical evidence regarding the mechanism that mediates the impact of mindfulness on workplace outcomes, with supply chain strategy as a potential mediating role. Results support the usefulness of further examination of the benefits of mindfulness in the workplace context
Conceptual Approaches to Implementing the Digital Supply Chain Management in Some Areas of the Russian Economy
Get PDFAbstract— Recently, digital, information and telecommunications resources have become widespread in Russia, and the processes of supply chain in various spheres of society are being actively digitized after the covid-19 spread. As of today, there is a successful experience in the development and subsequent use of various electronic platforms, systems and services, such as SIS of HCS (in the field of housing and communal services), UMIAS (healthcare), Public Services (provision of public services), UIS (procurement), etc. The existence of such software products affects effectively the performance of functions by public authorities, allows optimizing the work, and also provides access to the necessary information. Based on this, we can say that digital technologies cover most areas of the country’s life. However, these areas of activity are usually not related to production. This situation is developing not only in Russia, but also in the global economy as a whole. It is easy to implement digital technologies in the service sector. This is largely due to low-cost investments that pay off quickly and make services more affordable. This is not the case with production, where the introduction of digital technologies will require changing the technology or even the organizational mechanism of production functioning. Moreover, it does not depend on which sector of the economy will be affected by the introduction of digital supply chain management (DSCM). The tasks of digital technologies in production should be a significant increase in labor productivity, the use of modern technologies that allow competing in the world market of goods. In addition, digital technologies in the manufacturing sector of the economy are designed to facilitate production management, correct management decisions, and obtaining detailed, necessary information about production processes
Service Quality, Drinking Water Quality, Food Quality and Corporate Performance: The Mediating Role of Supply Chain Management
Get PDFThe study analyzes the mediating impact of supply chain management (SCMG) on the relationship among service quality (SRQL), drinking water quality (DRQL), food quality (FDQL) and corporate performance (CRPR). The target respondents of this research work were employees of water and food supply corporations situated in Thailand. The focused participants for the survey were the main managing directors, executives, CEOs and other high-positioning officials responsible for supply network exercises in firms. 75 firms were casually selected for the collection of data. After the information assortment, only 137 affirmed review structures were settled for examination. Path analysis using PLS-SEM is conducted to analyze the impact. CRPR and SCMG are used as dependent and mediating variables, respectively. SRQL, DRQL and FDQL are used as independent variables. The results of the study show that SRQL, DRQL and FDQL have significant positive impact on CRPR and SCMG. SCMG also has positive impact on CRPR. Moreover, the study also finds that SCMG mediates the association between SRQL and CRPR. It signifies that SRQL and SCMG together cause 21.7% changes in CRPR. SCMG also fully mediates the positive link between DRQL and CRPR. It reports that DRQL and SCMG collectively cause to change in CRPR by 9.4%. Moreover, SCMG also fully mediates the linkage between FDQL and CRPR as both SCMG and FDQL cause 13.2% variation in CRPR. From the findings, the study summarizes that better SCMG rises the services, food and drinking water quality of services, water and food supply corporations of Thailand which ultimately improves the corporate performance
