Item Restricted Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Supply Chain Management: A Case Study of Toyota Motor Corporation(University of Gloucestershire, 2024-08) AlQuwaie, Thamer Adeeb; Plummer, David; Rasheed, Muhammad Babar; Zhang, ShujunThis study examines AI deployment in Toyota Motor Corporation's supply chain management. By analysing the literature and interviewing key workers from Toyota, the research illustrates how AI technologies enhance logistics, demand forecasting, inventory management, and procurement. AI-driven predictive analytics and automation improved decision-making accuracy, operational efficiency, and cost savings. The research notes low data quality, expensive initial costs, and staff unwillingness to change as important impediments. The research suggests continual training, robust data management rules, and gradual AI deployment to solve these issues. The research also emphasises the importance of human factors in AI integration, including open communication and worker engagement for smooth adjustments. The research found that high management and departmental collaboration are needed to use AI technology successfully. Future research should include cross-sector and cross-regional comparisons, longitudinal studies to track impacts, and more work on social and ethical concerns. This research analyses Toyota's AI integration to provide supply chain AI users information and advice.83 0Item Restricted Optimising Supply Chain Management for International Projects: Insights from Project Managers in Saudi Arabia(Reading University, 2024) Alfawzan, Rakan; Buddhi, PathakGiven the difficulties and mutual reliance on each other, supply chain management is rather important for project management. Supply chain management becomes more difficult and demanding if the project is in a different area that is becoming international. Therefore, this paper addresses the optimisation of supply chain activities in the framework of international projects in Saudi Arabia in account of their emergence under the 2030 Vision. This study employs a mixed-methodology quantitative and qualitative approach using a snowball survey questionnaire with open-ended and close-ended questions to gather the difficulties, strategies, and supply chain resilience assessment. The survey questionnaire obtained responses from 103 participants. The findings revealed noteworthy common difficulties in the Saudi Arabian setting that exceeded other challenges. Furthermore, the findings highlighted typical strategies to get beyond these obstacles. Eventually, the resilience results revealed a flaw in Saudi Arabia's resilience farmwork knowledge. Therefore, the application of these research findings can be applied to the framework of international projects in Saudi Arabia to control supply chain operations effectively. However, The research is limited in the context of Saudi Arabia, which could be useless if applied in another area because of the different surroundings.19 0Item Restricted Characterizing Saudi Arabia's Supply Chain Management Policies for Vision 2030: A Case Study of Nupco Company(Swansea University, 2024-02-27) Almutiri, Shaden; Rich, NicholasCharacterizing Saudi Arabia's Supply Chain Management Policies for Vision 2030: A Case Study of Nupco Company This study investigates the impact of Saudi Arabia's Supply Chain Management Policies under Vision 2030 on Nupco, a pivotal player in the healthcare sector. With a focus on local content development, economic diversification, privatization, technological advancements, and enhanced logistical infrastructure, the research explores how these policies influence Nupco's supply chain operations and strategic initiatives. Through interviews and questionnaires, the study unveils the intricate relationship between Vision 2030 and Nupco's supply chain, shedding light on both opportunities and challenges. The study highlights the transformative impact of Saudi Vision 2030 on Nupco's supply chain management. Interviews with Nupco stakeholders reveal a strong alignment with Vision 2030's localization strategy, fostering innovation, and enhancing supply chain efficiency. While challenges exist, Nupco's adaptability and commitment to change demonstrate its vital role in advancing Saudi Arabia's healthcare supply chain and broader socioeconomic goals. This research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of Nupco's role in realizing Vision 2030's goals and its broader implications within the national context.98 0Item Restricted IS THE CONCEPT OF BIG DATA RELEVANT IN SUPPLY CHAIN LOGISTICS? A REVIEW(Saudi Digital Library, 2023-11-30) Alharbi, Shaykhah; Marina, PapalexiIn this era of unprecedented digital data generation spanning the past two decades, the concept of Big Data (BD) has emerged as a powerful phenomenon. This paradigm shift extends to the healthcare sector, where a plethora of data originates from diverse sources, including electronic patient records and medical equipment. Despite the growing interest in applying big data analytics (BDA) to supply chain management (SCM) from both academia and industry, its exploration within the healthcare domain remains limited. Unlike its counterparts in business and manufacturing, the healthcare supply chain has yet to fully realize the potential of BDA, leading to performance disparities and the underutilization of best practices. In response, this review endeavors to delve into the existing literature concerning the application of big data in the healthcare supply chain, aiming to discern its pertinence. Through meticulous filtering, 56 primary studies were meticulously scrutinized and categorized from an initial pool of 5,626, in pursuit of addressing four key research inquiries. The findings underscore the transformative potential of big data within healthcare, with procurement, demand forecasting, inventory management, logistics, and quality assurance emerging as prominent applications. This potential is nurtured by a conducive environment shaped by various facilitating factors, although certain inhibitory elements are also evident. By offering a comprehensive analysis of the literature, this study not only highlights the focal points of ongoing research but also establishes a bridge between theoretical understanding and practical implementation. It serves as a foundation for future research endeavors, shedding light on pivotal areas and paving the way for a deeper comprehension of these domains in practice.23 0
