Abstract

Abstract—The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of supply chain management (SCM) on smart city development. More specifically, we investigate the connections between smart cities, and supply network characteristics (supply network structure and governance mechanisms). Urban spaces, which have high acoustic quality, are a rare resource that must be protected to achieve the sustainable urban development as well as health and comfort of the urban space users. Urban morphology and urban environment are major topics for various urban studies using multiple approaches. Many of these approaches focus firstly on the visual analysis of urban area, while a shortage of urban sound quality studies can be highlighted. In this study, we propose the sound-walk procedure to evaluate the urban supply chain managements in Khobar city center. This work aims to understand how the use of supply chain management concept can help in environmental issues in urban areas. The relationships between smart cities, big data and supply networks cannot be described simply by using a linear, cause-and-effect framework. Accordingly, we have proposed an integrative framework that can be used in future empirical studies to analyze smart cities and big data implications on SCM. This will allow city-users and planners to determine and identify the urban supply chain management, and suggest that a decrease of noise level is not the only way to improve the urban environment.

Abstract

Abstract- In a review of the supply chain management of an urban area was examined in an imperative to demonstrate the benefits of a supply chain management method for an urban designing. Supply chains provide the critical infrastructure for the production and distribution of goods and services in our network economy and serve as the conduits for the manufacturing, transportation, and consumption of products ranging from food, clothing, automobiles, and high-technology products, to healthcare products. Cities as major population centers serve not only as the principal demand points but also as the locations of many of the distribution and storage facilities, transportation providers, and even manufacturers. In this paper a new model is developed for the design of sustainable supply chains with a focus on cities that captures the frequency of network link operations, which is especially relevant to cities due to frequent freight deliveries. Descriptive interviews were reviewed thoroughly with the conceptualization of the substantiated philosophy as a sociological technique of examination. All in all, this attempt of review established that the supply chain management method with its multidisciplinary foundations and assessments can benefit to overawed sectoral barriers in urban design.
