Enterprise Resource Planning Systems and Knowledge Management: A Review of the Literature and Conceptual Framework

This article provides a comprehensive review of the literature published in various articles dated back to 1998 on the role of Knowledge Management (KM) in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This article follows the literature published in this context focusing on two basic themes: KM supporting the ERP systems and KM integration into the ERP system. All the articles published on the relationship between KM and ERP systems published since 1998 were searched. Articles were sorted out on the basic themes they addressed. Most of the work on the role of KM in ERP systems was grouped into two main categories depending on the research subject matter. Integration of ERP systems being one of these basic themes was further investigated, enlisting all possible research articles published so far. Literature review on the KM and ERP relationship can be concludes that despite different relationships explored in the literature, KM has a vital role to play in the success of the ERP system. It is one of the critical success factors which complements the ERP systems to the extent that its absence will diminish the very essence, that is the adaption of ERP systems for the companies signified by the competitive advantage, market agility, and organization efficiency

A green-lean-six sigma model for environmental performance in manufacturing organizations : a study of a developed and developing nation : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Management, School of Food and Advanced Technology, Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand

Table 2.2 (=Kumar et al 2016) was removed for copyright reasonsManufacturing organizations continue to face environmental challenges including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, large-scale energy consumption, and solid and liquid waste generation contributing to climate change. While emerging environmental concerns are serious challenges for discrete and process industries in both developed and developing countries, the impact of these issues is more significant for the process industry due to their high energy requirements, GHG emissions, and lack of application of operational strategies. Green-lean-six sigma (GLSS) is recognized as a promising operational and environmental improvement strategy for minimizing waste and conserving resources in manufacturing organizations. However, scant attention has been paid to examining this strategy in addressing the environmental concerns, and in particular, investigating its application between developed and developing nations. The aim of this study is to examine the drivers, enablers, environmental outcomes, and critical success factors (CSFs) of a GLSS strategy in a developed country (New Zealand) and developing country (Pakistan) context in the manufacturing industry. This study draws on the natural resource-based view, institutional theory-based view, and intellectual capital-based view to understand the execution of this strategy and develops a GLSS model for improving the environmental performance in manufacturing organizations. A qualitative research methodology is adopted with semi-structured interviews using the case study approach. In the first phase, a preliminary study is undertaken with lean six sigma and environmental consultants from New Zealand (NZ) and Pakistan (PK). In the second phase, the main study is conducted with senior corporate managers of two large-sized flexible packaging manufacturing companies in both NZ and PK who have implemented the green, lean, and six sigma strategies. This study highlights various internal operational and organizational drivers and external regulatory, market-driven, and society-oriented forces that prompt manufacturing companies to adopt a GLSS strategy. Numerous GLSS enablers for achieving environmental outcomes including waste and emission reduction, resource conservation and recycling, and environmental safety and compliance are revealed. Further, CSFs for the implementation of a GLSS approach comprising the strategic, operational, human resource, and external stakeholder-related elements are presented. By utilizing the results of the preliminary and the main study, a holistic GLSS model is developed for achieving environmental performance in manufacturing organizations, with significant theoretical and practical implications

Syhthesise [sic] a sustainable sago industry

Various sago biomass (i.e., sago barks, fibres and wastewater) that potentially converted into value-added products are generated during sago starch extraction process (SSEP). In current industrial practices, such biomass are disposed to the environment and caused severe environmental issues. Therefore, in order to minimise the environmental impacts and to improve economic performance of sago industry, sago biomass is vital to be recovered. On the other hand, a sustainable sago value chain, which involved activities plantation, harvesting, sago starch extraction process (SSEP), and transportations, is synthesised in this thesis via Fuzzy Multi-Footprint Optimisation (FMFO) approach. This proposed approach considered carbon, water, and workplace footprints as well as economic performance of sago value chain. In order to trade-off the conflicts among the optimisation objectives, the concept of fuzzy optimisation is adopted in this approach. Then, recovery of sago biomass in SSEP is focused. In order to prioritise sago biomass for recovery in sago industry, Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA)-based prioritisation approach is developed in this thesis. This MFCA-based approach introduced hidden cost (HC) and carry-forward cost (CFC) to determine cost associated with waste streams. Based on the associated cost, waste streams can be prioritised for recovery. Then, this MFCA-based prioritisation approach is further extended as extended MFCA (eMFCA)-based approach to simultaneous synthesise total resource conservation network (RCN) with industrial processes. In this thesis, total water network and SSEP is synthesised simultaneously via eMFCA-based approach. Furthermore, techno-economic and environmental performance of conversion of sago barks and fibres into combined heat and power (CHP) and bioethanol is evaluated. In addition, sensitivity analysis on payback period is conducted in different scenarios due to variation of feedstock cost, enzyme cost, and labour cost. In order to further improve sustainability of sago industry, a conceptual integrated sago-based biorefinery (SBB) is envisaged. Maali’s method is adopted in this thesis to allocate the benefits of each party participating in integrated SBB. Lastly, conclusions and future works are included in the end of this thesis

Circular Economy and Sustainable Development: A Systematic Literature Review

Circular Economy put forth as an alternative to traditional linear model of extract-use-dispose along with the concept of Sustainable Development encompassing economic, environmental, and social aspects have garnered tremendous impetus among academics, practitioners and policymakers alike. The UN Sustainable Development Goals embraced by the member nations in 2015 based on the preceding Millenium Development Goals have been placed as the targets to be achieved as a part of holistic human development. In this backdrop, this paper examines the intersection of sustainability and circular economy with a focus on the three aspects of sustainable development, first the economic aspect by examining the relationship between GDP and circular economy, second the social economic aspect within the interaction of Circular Economy with Sustainable development and third the environmental-economical aspect by examining circularity and sustainability in waste management and waste valorisation. This paper achieves its objective through a systematic literature review of 1748 journal articles collected from Web of Science and SCOPUS database following PRISMA standards, network analysis of keywords, and manual review of texts. Four Research Questions are formulated: RQ1: What are the major emergent topics in Circular Economy and Sustainable Development and how are they related? RQ2: What is the relationship among CE and GDP in the CE and Sustainability? RQ3: What are the relationships between CE and Sustainability? RQ4: What are different use cases of valorisation of waste as CE tool, and can valorisation be sustainable? RQ1 is answered by presenting hotspot of research on Circular Economy and Sustainable Development through keywords occurrence network analysis using VosViewer. This study identifies three clusters and seven thematic areas of research, along with 25 most used keywords. RQ2 is attended through review of the relationship between economic growth (Gross Domestic Product) and Circular Economy and proposes based on the review that CE is still at its infancy. The paper also discusses the appropriateness of using GDP as a measure of sustainable development. This paper addresses RQ3 by examining the relationship between Circular Economy and Sustainable Development through review of literatures. The indicators used to measure CE and SD are also discussed and summarised. This review finds that achieving SDGs require greater effort, and that the present status of achievement is a bleak picture. Further, the role of waste management and potentiality of waste valorisation to aid in circular economy and sustainable development is analysed to answer RQ4. Though there are ample potential, however the recycle rate is very minimal to quench the required level of circularity. While CE and SD are related, CE cannot be a universal panacea to global challenges like emissions reduction, energy consumption, climate change, gender equality, poverty, well-being, environmental protection etc. even though the impact of CE to achieve SD can be substantial. The paper recommends avenues for future research and presents the conclusion of the study

Model uvođenja upravljanja zelenim lancima opskrbe

Primjenom koncepata i modela održivosti u upravljanju proizvodnim i poslovnim sustavima umanjuju se ukupni troškovi kroz smanjenje rasipanja resursa, smanjenom količinom otpada te reduciranjem nepotrebnih aktivnosti. Navedeno dovodi do kontinuiranog rasta poduzeća kroz usvajanje novih znanja i tehnologija. Trenutno postoji veliki broj raznih koncepata, modela, metoda, standarda i direktiva vezanih uz održivost. Zbog nedostatka sistematizacije područja mnoga poduzeća ili odustaju od njihovog uvođenja ili uvode samo parcijalno neke elemente u upravljanje proizvodnim i poslovnim sustavima, odnosno šire, u upravljanje lancima opskrbe. Unutar doktorskog rada napravljena je sistematizacija i sinteza koncepata, modela, metoda, standarda i direktiva vezanih uz održivost. Uz provedeno anketno istraživanje „Stanje i trendovi upravljanja zelenim lancima opskrbe u Hrvatskoj“ u hrvatskom gospodarstvu napravljen je pregled trenutnog stanja vezanog uz održivost u Republici Hrvatskoj. Također su prikazane i identificirane barijere i pokretači uvođenja upravljanja zelenim lancima opskrbe u hrvatska poduzeća. Dobiveni rezultati uspoređeni su s rezultatima anketnih istraživanja provedenima u svijetu. Temeljem svih dobivenih rezultata napravljen je model uvođenja upravljanja zelenim lancima opskrbe u hrvatska poduzeća. Kao takav, model uvođenja pomaže hrvatskim poduzećima odabrati odgovarajuće modele upravljanja zelenim lancima opskrbe, te im pomaže da unutar odabranih modela uvedu one „zelene“ elemente koji su pogodni za njihovo poduzeće
