The manufacturing sector needs to focus on social environmental and technological factors to integrate Industry 4.0 in production planning logistics and supply chains. Technical Education Institutes (TEIs) can play a key role in achieving this ambition as they are responsible for the workforce of the digital future. To this end a learning factory is often referred to as a realistic manufacturing environment. However the existing research regarding the successful adoption of a learning factory based on Industry 4.0 is scant in the literature. We therefore aim to address this research gap by examining key factors that affect the decision to adopt Industry 4.0 in technical education institutes. We have adopted the theoretical lens of the Technology-Organisation-Environment (T-O-E) framework to study industry 4.0 adoption in TEIs. The findings based on 134 valid responses from TEIs in India indicate that the organisational dimension is critical in determining whether or not to adopt Industry 4.0. Our study shows that top management support internal resources and the capabilities of the teaching staff are vital for the adoption of Industry 4.0. Additionally our findings indicate that significant differences exist between public and private TEIs concerning the adoption of Industry 4.0.

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has become a popular research topic among scholars as evidence suggests it has significantly contributed to achieve more environmentally conscious and socially responsible supply chains. Operational excellence (OE) on the other hand can be achieved by incorporating SSCM practices within existing supply chain operations. However due to human expertise involvement and commitment towards excelling at sustainable and operational performance the effective deployment of SSCM practices now depends on various human-based behavioral factors (BFs). Human behavior is dynamic in nature and hence has an effect on the implementation of SSCM practices. Nevertheless research on BFs in view of SSCM practices is limited. To fill this knowledge gap this study examines the nature of BFs for SSCM practices towards OE in supply chains particularly within the context of the footwear industry of Bangladesh. In the first phase the BFs were identified and determined through a literature review and empirical investigation. In the second phase the Hesitant Fuzzy DEMATEL method was used to establish the cause-effect relationships among the factors. The influence of group validation by experts and a literature survey along with managerial implications was discussed and explained in the third phase of the study. The results suggest that the factor ‘organization culture’ is the most influencing behavioral factor followed by ‘commitment from higher authority’. Both theoretical and practical contributions of the study are drawn from its findings helping footwear industry managers to more effectively adopt SSCM practices in the supply chain operations of their organizations to achieve OE. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
