Critical Elements in Defining an Intelligent Supply Chain Model for Warehouse Infrastructure
No full textSmart supply chains and warehouses aim to increase quality, productivity and efficiency with the notion of environmental justice in mind. Since the year 2015, the use of smart and intelligent supply chains gained traction with the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) taking centre stage in the discussion of the development of smart supply chains. The study evaluates the defining elements of an intelligent supply chain and their usefulness in the implementation of smart warehouse infrastructure. The study used the qualitative methodology and in-depth interviews. The study found that the use of digitalised warehouse infrastructures can position the manufacturing industry in Zimbabwe as the breadbasket globally and jewel crown of Africa. The study found that a smart supply chain can be defined by a tracking and tracing system that uses technology and the use of the IoT. There is need to move away from manufacturing that relies on fossil fuels and move towards sustainable manufacturing based on smart warehousing and inventory management. The study used qualitative methodology and in-depth interviews
Digitisation of Legal Processes and Its Impact on the Right of Access to Justice in Zimbabwe
No full textLike many jurisdictions, Zimbabwe has adopted digitisation of legal processes. While the concept is progressive and modern, it limits the right of access to justice that is protected by Section 69 of the Zimbabwean Constitution. This article explains the concept of access to justice and its origins. It then brings to light various aspects of digitisation that limit the right of access to justice in Zimbabwe. The article also examines different international instruments ratified by Zimbabwe that promote the right of access to justice. Furthermore, it shows the developments that have been made by jurisdictions such as South Africa, Kenya, Russia, and China pertaining to digitisation of their legal processes. The main aim of showing the developments that have been made by the aforementioned jurisdictions is to look at opportunities that Zimbabwe has by drawing lessons from their different electronic case management systems. Also, regardless of the strides that the selected jurisdictions have made in accessing justice through digitisation of legal processes, they still face challenges that Zimbabwe is facing or might potentially face. Therefore, in the final part, recommendations are made on how the right of access to justice may be realised in Zimbabwe considering digitisation of legal processe
