    The Technology Development and Management of Smart Manufacturing System: A Review On Theoretical and Technological Perspectives

    Get PDF
    This paper encompasses a state-of-the-art review on smart manufacturing system (SMS), focusing on theoretical relevance to technology development and technology management. The theoretical foundation of technology development has been reviewed based on the Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) theory and technology management has been focused on the basis of Technology Strategy Model (TSM) of Rieck and Dickson to shape the paper with theory of Management of Technology (MOT). A patent on SMS has been discussed to show how different technologies are integrated into this system. The characteristics of SMS have discussed the overall aspects of this future technological system. The the global textile complex has been depicted with a proposed SMS model of the apparel production unit. This study integrates the latest articles and technology on future manufacturing system perspectives, which gives a robust idea of mintegration have been identified as the major components of SMS. A brief model of SMS in the apparel production system demonstrated how SMS works in the industry level. The researchers on smart manufacturing can take away the above insights into their future research to take SMS research more forward.inimizing human interaction and maximizing the production efficiency in the manufacturing industry. The cyber-physical system, AI, ERP, digital twin, big data, additive manufacturing, cloud manufacturing, simulation, and vertical and horizontal&nbsp

    Perceived Consequences of Unpredictable Fuel Hike in Bangladesh

    The unpredictability of fuel hikes has become a significant concern for the people of Bangladesh. This study revealed the perceived consequences of unexpected fuel hikes among the people of Bangladesh. A mixed-method approach, such as interviews and focus group discussions, was used to collect data. The data were collected from different places in Dhaka city in Bangladesh. The findings of the study reveal that an unpredictable fuel hike has significant consequences for the people of Bangladesh. These consequences include an increase in transportation costs, a rise in the prices of goods and services, and a rise in the cost of living. The increase in fuel prices has triggered inflation, which has adverse impacts on the economy. Other potential consequences include a reduction in industrial output, a decrease in foreign investment, and an increase in unemployment rates. The majority of respondents were highly concerned about the unpredictable increase in fuel prices, and they expected the government to take necessary steps to stabilize fuel prices. The study suggests that a coordinated effort from the government, policymakers, and stakeholders is necessary to address this issue. This will alleviate the negative consequences of unpredictable fuel hikes in Bangladesh. Keywords: Fuel Hike, Inflation, Living Standard, Economic Condition, Social Instability DOI: 10.7176/JESD/14-12-05 Publication date:June 30th 202

    This paper uses a state-of-the-art review system with a purpose to review and synthesize the latest information on the possible integration of potential disruptive technologies into the future development of ERP. Different software, such as Material Requirement Planning (MRP), Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRPII), and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) have been found to be the base of existing versions of ERP. Potential disruptive Industry 4.0 technologies that can be integrated into ERP are found to be artificial intelligence, business intelligence, internet of things, big data, blockchain technology, and omnichannel strategy. Notable Critical Success Factors of ERP are top management support, project team, IT infrastructure, communication, skilled staff, training & education, and monitoring & evaluation.  Moreover, cybersecurity has been found to be the most challenging issue to overcome in future versions of ERP. This paper could help the future ERP researchers and respective stakeholders contribute to integrate newer features in the future versions of ERP
