    A conceptual framework for optimizing performance in sustainable supply Chain management and digital transformation towards industry 5.0
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-09) Dossou, Paul Eric; Álvarez de los Mozos, Esther; Pawlewski, Pawel
    The economic growth of developed or emerging countries through globalization has prompted them to increase their supply chain performance. A large number of concepts, tools, and methodologies have been proposed in support of this performance improvement. They are mainly based on the use of classical optimization or enterprise modeling methods. However, environmental and social issues, not to mention digital transformation, are often ignored or not sufficiently integrated. Indeed, the world geopolitical situation, the increase in oil prices, and the commitment to protect our earth require the integration of sustainability aspects and Industry 4.0 concepts like digital twin and artificial intelligence in transforming the supply chain. This paper focuses on defining a conceptual framework to support sustainable supply chain management and digital transformation. It aims to exploit the sustainability and digital maturity of companies to transform their supply chains and enhance their performance to meet the challenges of Industry 5.0. Several practices related to sustainability, as well as two use cases on optimization and digital twin, are presented to illustrate this framework. Finally, based on the previous practices and use cases, an adapted framework for the supply chain manager to support the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0 has been developed, as well as a performance dashboard.

    Sustainable consumption by reducing food waste: a review of the current state and directions for future research
    (Elsevier B.V., 2020) Álvarez de los Mozos, Esther; Badurdeen, Fazleena; Dossou, Paul Eric
    Almost one third of all food produced in the world currently goes to waste. One of the targets under the 'Responsible consumption and production' sustainable development goal calls for halving the per capita food waste at the consumer level as well as across the supply chain from manufacturing, storage and retail by 2030. While numerous strategies have been recommended and implemented to address this problem, major challenges remain to be overcome. The paper presents an in-depth review of current state-of-art practices in food waste management. The solutions and recommendations presented to reduce food waste at the household, retail, restaurant, manufacturing and supply chain levels are reviewed. Regulations and regional variations in food waste management practices are also examined. The findings are used to identify research gaps and propose a conceptual framework to increase closed-loop material flow for more circular food systems that can reduce food waste. Potential areas for application of engineering and management principles to develop analytical models for food waste reduction are also discussed.
