Background: In this new era, marked by increasing environmental concerns, geopolitical crises, and global disruptions, traditional efficiency-focused supply chains have shown significant vulnerabilities. As a result, the shift toward new strategies to maintain sustainability has become more...

Background: Transportation delays pose significant challenges for perishable products by reducing freshness, shortening selling duration, and causing lost sales during the delay. Methods: Motivated by the growing importance of transportation delays on perishable products, this study develops a...

Background: Sustainable operations and management are imperative in many sectors, including aquaculture, to adapt to the increasing complexity and unprecedented challenges across the supply chain. Although research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has grown significantly, it remains...

Background: The rapid digital transformation in logistics requires the adaptation of transport companies to electronic information management, particularly through the implementation of electronic consignment notes (e-CMR). This study examines how the digitization of transport documentation...

Ports are the major gateways of cities. Background: Sustainable growth requires ports to prioritize efficiency while balancing economic, social, and environmental goals. There is limited synthesized evidence on the sustainability evaluation of ports, including those of North America. In this...

Background: Digital technologies are increasingly integrated into circular supply chains (CSCs) to enhance resource efficiency and extend product lifecycles. However, the practical adoption of intelligent circular supply chains (iCSCs) remains underexplored. Methods: This study provides a...

In modern Industry 4.0 environments, real-time scheduling presents a complex challenge requiring both formal correctness guarantees and optimal performance. Background: Traditional approaches fail to provide an optimal integration between formal correctness guaranteeing and optimization, and...

Background: With increasing environmental concerns, achieving sustainability in supply chains (SCs) requires strong cooperation among partners. This raises the question of how supply chain information integration (SCII) fosters green supply chain innovation performance (GSCIP). Thus, this study...

Background: The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is of great importance in the Industry 4.0 era because enabling technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and geographic information systems (GISs) allows for real-time solutions to versions of the...

Background: This study examines how AI-driven metaverse integration enhances sustainable manufacturing performance in Jordan's industrial sector, with particular emphasis on the mediating role of digital supply chain resilience. Grounded in resource orchestration theory (ROT), the research...
