Abstract

This study explores the critical role of Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) in today's interconnected and dynamic global economy, focusing on leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for risk identification, mitigation, and resilience planning. As supply chains face increasing vulnerabilities due to geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, and technological disruptions, traditional risk-management approaches have proven insufficient in addressing these challenges. This paper comprehensively analyses how AI, through predictive analytics, machine learning, and autonomous systems, transforms SCRM by enabling real-time risk detection and response capabilities. The study also examines AI applications across various industries, including manufacturing, retail, and logistics, showcasing its potential in optimizing operational efficiency, enhancing supply chain visibility, and improving decision-making processes. Furthermore, the paper highlights the benefits and limitations of integrating AI with emerging technologies such as IoT and blockchain to enhance supply chain resilience. The findings contribute to understanding AI's growing impact on global supply chain management, providing insights into future trends and practical recommendations for managers seeking to strengthen their risk management strategies.

Abstract

Digital twin (DT) technology is revolutionizing manufacturing by bridging the gap between physical and virtual environments, enabling real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization of processes. This paper explores the pivotal role of DTs in enhancing renewable energy utilization and energy efficiency within manufacturing ecosystems. The study delves into how DTs facilitate renewable energy forecasting, resource scheduling, and integration into manufacturing operations. Through real-time energy flow analysis, DTs aid in identifying inefficiencies, optimizing production processes, and implementing waste heat recovery systems. Specific applications in automotive and electronics manufacturing underscore the transformative impact of DTs, showcasing reductions in energy consumption and operational costs while improving resilience against energy variability. Case studies highlight successful integrations of DTs with renewable energy systems, such as photovoltaic installations, which strategically align energy-intensive activities with peak energy availability. Moreover, this research examines the challenges associated with DT adoption, including high implementation costs, data integration complexities, and organizational resistance, alongside emerging solutions tailored for scalability, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Future directions emphasize the incorporation of blockchain and artificial intelligence to enhance energy transaction security, data-driven decision-making, and operational autonomy. The paper also advocates for the development of global standards and supportive policies to foster widespread DT adoption. By showcasing both the current applications and future potential of DTs, this review underscores their critical role in driving sustainability, operational efficiency, and energy resilience in the manufacturing sector.

Abstract

This research investigates the integration of Digital Twin (DT) technology within Lean Manufacturing frameworks to optimize value stream flow, minimize waste, and enhance real-time decision-making capabilities. By synthesizing foundational concepts of Lean Manufacturing and DT, the paper examines the layered DT architecture, covering the physical, virtual, and communication interfaces, alongside Lean tools like Kaizen, Kanban, and Just-in-Time (JIT) that facilitate continuous process improvement. Case studies, particularly in the automotive sector, demonstrate DT's ability to increase production efficiency through predictive maintenance and simulation-based scenario planning, supporting Lean's waste reduction objectives. However, the paper identifies key implementation challenges, including legacy system integration, workforce adaptation, and data interoperability. Additionally, cybersecurity and data integrity concerns are analysed to highlight essential protocols for safe DT deployment. Future research directions propose advancements like AI-powered DTs, blockchain for enhanced traceability, and edge computing for low-latency applications. Key insights from industry case studies underscore the transformative impact of DTs on production efficiency, organizational resilience, and sustainable manufacturing outcomes, positioning Digital Twin technology as a cornerstone for next-generation lean manufacturing systems
