Analysis of Critical Success Factors of Logistics 4.0 using D-number based Pythagorean Fuzzy DEMATEL method

Logistics 4.0 is a concept related to Industry 4.0, encompassing skills and notions of supply chain organization, integrating logistics with advanced technology in order to satisfy consumer demand for customized goods and services. Industry 4.0 is transforming businesses and supply chains through advanced technologies like analytics, big data, Internet of things, and cyber-physical systems, enhancing warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics. Logistics 4.0 can be regulated by properly analyzing specific Critical Success Factors using a Multi-Criteria Decision Making model in uncertain or ambiguous circumstances. Hence, it is necessary to explore the CSFs while bringing logistics 4.0 into action. These CSFs are interlinked, and this interlinkage is examined through the D-number-based Pythagorean fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory method, which is suitable for group decision-making in incomplete and uncertain data. The proposed research paradigm incorporates the abilities of Trapezoidal Pythagorean Fuzzy Numbers for dealing with fuzziness and D-Numbers for getting an improved and further precise decision from a heterogeneous group of decision-makers using their linguistic choices. Additionally, it is adaptive and versatile in managing the intrinsic uncertainty brought on by ambiguous and subjective information.

Online fundraising for NPOs via email marketing – A critical success factors analysis in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland

AbstractThis study aims to empirically determine success factors in the email marketing as a sub-discipline of online fundraising of nonprofit organizations (NPOs). Hereby, it responds to the gap of knowledge as existing research has not in detail touched nonprofit email marketing. To explore success factors in NPOs’ email marketing, a detailed structural equation model, in which email marketing success acts as the final endogenous variable and the nine potential success factors function as formative latent exogenous variables, was developed. A quantitative survey was conducted with employees of NPOs from German-speaking countries. For data analysis, which was carried out with the software SmartPLS, 153 responses were utilized. Using aggregate and disaggregate analyses on the developed model, various critical success factors in NPOs’ email marketing could be empirically identified. Furthermore, an importance-performance map analysis allowed the identification of the most crucial measures for increasing success, as a low performance of the NPOs faces a high total effect on email marketing success. From the results of the importance-performance map analysis, it was possible to derive specific practice-relevant action recommendations regarding measures in which NPOs should prioritize an increase in performance. Therefore, in addition to its theoretical relevance, the study also has a strong practical value.

Data-driven decision making in advanced manufacturing Systems: modeling and analysis of critical success factors

ABSTRACT Data-driven decision making (DDDM) in advanced manufacturing systems (AMS) is the use of data to make smart decisions that improve manufacturing operations. Companies can make themselves more competitive, cut costs, and improve their production by using data analytics. The investigation of critical success factors aids companies in identifying vital areas that demand attention for the implementation of DDDM in AMS. This comprehension enables companies to devise effective strategies for the successful adoption of DDDM within AMS. In this research, twelve critical success factors that affect the use of DDDM in AMS were discovered and statistically analysed using an integrated methodology of ISM, MICMAC, and DEMATEL to create a hierarchical model. This research paper suggests that companies should focus on developing a skilled workforce and creating a data-driven culture to successfully adopt DDDM in AMS. Additionally, the findings highlight the importance of top management support and government initiatives in promoting the adoption of DDDM in manufacturing.

Design Analysis Achievement Target Database Information System at SEAMEO RECFON

SEAMEO Regional Center for Food and Nutrition (RECFON), is an organization of Southeast Asian Ministers of Education in the field of food and nutrition. The activities carried out by SEAMEO RECFON already have a fairly good system, but there are several problems SEAMEO RECFON actively conducts education, research, training, and community empowerment activities so the need for up-to-date information on food and nutrition topics and services and facilities support all these activities is very important. This important task must be supported by adequate facilities, including the procurement of data processing and communication devices capable of supporting RECFON's activities. For this reason, the author takes the title "Analysis and Design of the Target Achievement Database Information System System at SEAMEO RECFON " This SI / IT strategic planning is made using the Ward and Peppard framework with several analysis methods, namely value chain analysis, by mapping what are the main and supporter activities at SEAMEO RECFON and analyzing the problems of each activity. To see the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, a SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Thread) analysis is used. Factors that are successful and can solve problems and needs are used in CSFs (Critical Success Factors) analysis. McFarlan Strategic Grid analysis is used to map existing applications in DPPKA Kampar based on categories, namely support, Key Operational, Strategic, and High Potential. The results achieved through this analysis method are recommendations in the form of 19 information systems, 10 information technologies, and 4 SI and IT management.

Tannery solid waste valorization for achieving SDGs: An innovative decision-making model for critical success factors analysis and sustainable technology selection

Sustainable tannery solid waste (TSW) management is essential for achieving several sustainable development goals (SDGs) and promoting carbon neutrality in the leather processing industry. However, the sustainable management of TSW in developing countries remains a relatively ambiguous and unexplored area in the research. To expedite the sustainable management of TSW, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive study of critical success factors (CSFs) and valorization technologies considering the uncertainties involved as TSWs are major contributors to environmental pollution and carbon emissions. Unfortunately, existing models are unable to effectively handle uncertainty on a broader scale when evaluating interdependencies and valorization technologies. Therefore, this study proposes a novel integrated model that combines Interval Type-2 Trapezoidal Fuzzy Sets (IT2TrFSs) based Delphi technique, an extended version of the Weighted Influence Non-linear Gauge System (WINGS) method, and IT2TrFSs- Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo). This model is then applied to assess the interdependencies among CSFs and TSW valorization technology using a real case study. The IT2TrFSs-WINGS analysis reveals that “Environmental policies for TSW management” is the most crucial causal CSF, with a value of 0.00560. The IT2TrFSs-CoCoSo analysis confirms that “Gasification” is the most promising TSW valorization technology, receiving a significant preference value of 2.03982. These findings will enable decision-makers, relevant stakeholders, and environmental agencies to take necessary actions towards improving the TSW management process in developing countries.

E-Leadership Is Un(usual): Multi-Criteria Analysis of Critical Success Factors for the Transition from Leadership to E-Leadership

Leadership helps to build strong organizations with resilient cultures. It is established that leadership needs a transition powered by digital technologies to tackle the shift from workplace culture to remote work, which is being practiced even after the pandemic to reduce operational costs and improve flexibility. The transition from leadership to e-leadership requires a profound understanding of the critical success factors (CSFs). The primary objective of this study is to identify the critical success factors of e-leadership using a systematic literature review and questionnaire survey technique. The identified CSFs are grouped under (i) Technology Management, (ii) E-Motivation and well-being, and (iii) E-change management categories. The Fuzzy Delphi technique is used to find the relevant CSFs and the relative dominance of each CSF category; the CSFs are then analyzed using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process. The results suggest that employee engagement using digital technologies is the most critical success factor, while role clarity has relatively the least significance for the transition to take place. The findings of this study facilitate the smooth transition from leadership to e-leadership.

Modelling the critical success factors for advanced manufacturing technology implementation in small and medium sized enterprises

In almost every part of the world, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are seen as the backbone of economic expansion. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) typically have a simpler organisational structure than large corporations, which allows them to be more adaptable, provide instantaneous feedback, have shorter decision-making chains, and respond more quickly to customer needs. Even so, SMEs face enormous pressure to stay competitive in both domestic and international markets. Globalization, new technologies, and evolving consumer preferences are all contributing to a shift in the competitive landscape. These shifts are compelling small and mediumsized enterprises to adopt cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. The goal of this research is to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) that will help and guarantee that SMEs will be able to successfully implement AMTs (SMEs). Literature-based CSFs for AMT deployment are collected and fine-tuned using input from professionals in the field and scholars in the academy. The method of interpretive structural modelling (ISM) is applied to this CSF analysis. According to the ISM study, the three most important factors influencing the adoption of AMT are "Top management support and commitment," "entrepreneurial environment," and "financial availability." The desired goal of AMT implementation is found to be "performance improvement" and "sustainable AMT implementation." The identified CSFs and the structural relationship between them will help SMEs' top management create and prioritise business strategies that ease the implementation of AMT. The study's results point potential AMT financiers in the right direction by highlighting a handful of critical considerations that will improve the project's chances of success.
