Post date: Wednesday, Feb 7, 2024 | 10:36 - View count: 356
Industry 3.5 has emerged as a hybrid strategy for sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). However, the challenges and foresights are always expected from the idea collection. This SI includes developing aframework, the hybrid model of SSCM and industry 3.5, performance improvement in the manicuring process, smart technology perspectives in waste reduction and consumer environment awareness in the SSCM.
Industry 3.5 has gained significant attention in recent years in light of the intensive global compe-tition and the fact that the transition from traditional to smart manufacturing has become a world-wide phenomenon. Proposed as a stepwise shift to smart manufacturing in existing facilities, Industry 3.5 has emerged as a hybrid strategy between Industry and Industry 4.0 that aims to manage the disruptive innovation that favour smart manufacturing and adaptive decisions to humanise the needs for industrial transformation and manage the potentially disrup-tive socio-economic impacts of such a transition, while considering sustainability. Industry 3.5, specifically, optimises and integratestechnologies such as networking, digital transformation and optimisation into the existing manu-facturing system to accommodate the shift in market demand from mass production to mass cus-tomisation in the supply chain networks. Research “Industry 3.5 for sustainable supply chain management: challenges and foresight” by a group of international experts including Dr. Ming-Lang Tseng, Asia University; Dr. Chen-Fu Chien, National Tsing Hua University; Kathleen Aviso, De La Salle University; and Dr. Ha Minh Hiep, Acting Director General of the Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality (STAMEQ), is a research effort to find challenges and vision for the above goals.
New business models and an alteration in the manufacturing process have a substantial impacton the environment and global resource utilisation within supply chain networks. The global scar-city of resources and escalating ecological damage have necessitated a greater emphasis on resourceutilisation and environmental preservation. Additionally, the industry is facing growing challenges in maintaining sustainability due to the increasing adoption of multi-functional supply chains, which further complicates product mix and international operations. To address these challenges, the current manufacturing facilities must be enhanced to facilitate a sustainable transition and satisfy the new products demand, while properly managing resources and energy consumption for reducing the environmental impact and promoting environmentally friendly production practices. However, insufficient study has been conducted to address the management and environmental challenges, as well as the progress in SSCM for the transition to Industry 3.5. Thus, this SI aims to address the challenges, research developments and foresight for Industry 3.5 for SSCM and guides future research and development directions for SSCM to facilitate successful migration for Industry 3.5 and Industry 4.0.
