Key sectors such as technology, manufacturing, energy, and logistics are experiencing rapid growth, offering new opportunities for businesses and investors. However, this growth comes with significant sustainability challenges. As industries expand, there is increasing pressure to address environmental concerns like carbon emissions, resource depletion, and climate change. Governments and companies are now focused on integrating sustainability into their operations, with a shift towards renewable energy, circular economies, and more efficient supply chain management.<br />This keynote will examine the investment opportunities in North America, highlighting sectors poised for growth, while addressing the critical sustainability concerns shaping future investment strategies. By exploring the intersection of economic expansion and environmental responsibility, the presentation will offer insights into how businesses can balance profitability with sustainability, ensuring long-term resilience and success. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on aligning investment decisions with sustainability goals in today’s evolving market.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <hr /> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt; color: #4050d7;"><strong>A decision-making framework for determinants of an organization's readiness for smart warehouse</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt; color: #4050d7;"><strong> </strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt; color: #4050d7;"><strong><img src="data/cnf1704867816/uploads/Sadia_Samar_Ali.png" alt="" width="256" height="261" /></strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"><strong>Prof. (Dr.) Sadia Samar Ali</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Department of Industrial Engineering, </span><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Faculty of Engineering <br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">King Abdulaziz University</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Short Biography:</span></span></strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Sadia Samar Ali is a Full Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Industry 4.0 technologies transform warehouse operations for reduced cost and streamlined operations and sustainability to business. The readiness of organisations to adopt these technologies is evaluated with the help of hard and soft determinants selected through a theoretical framework of Technology–Organization-Environment (TOE). The study presents a unique proposition as it considers a Multi-Criteria-Decision-Making (MCDM) analysis to rank the determinants using the Best Worst Method (BWM) based on experts of the warehousing industry. Warehouse service providers who convert their warehouses into smart modes to serve fast-moving consumer goods companies in Tier-2 cities are chosen for the structural framework. Results present the role of the 'operational efficiency of technology', 'top management', 'employee's education', and 'technical background' as the most effective driving determinants. This research provides valuable information to researchers and managers trying to upgrade their warehouse into a smart warehouse.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <hr /> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <hr /></div> </div> </section> </main>  <footer id="footer"> <div class="footer-top"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-6 footer-links"> <h4>Quick Link</h4> <ul> <li class="nomargin"><i class="bx nomargin bx-chevron-right"></i> <a href="page_263.html">PhD Thesis Competition</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-6 footer-contact"> <p><span style="color: #ffffff; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><a style="color: #ffffff;" href="../../../../../../../../cnf/contact.us">Contact Us</a></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><a style="color: #ffffff;" href="../../../../../../../../p_symposiumproposal">Symposium Proposal</a></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><a style="color: #ffffff;" href="../../../../../../../../p_panelproposal">Panel Proposal</a></span></p> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-6 footer-links"> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-6 footer-links"> <div class="footer-newsletter"> <div class="padding-3"> <div class="row"> <h4>Newsletter Subscription</h4> <div class="nopadding">Subscribe to our email newsletter for useful tips and valuable resources.</div> <form action="" method="post"> <input type="email" name="email"><input type="submit" value="Subscribe"> </form> </div> </div> </div> <div class="social-links mt-3"> <a href="" class="facebook" title="Facebook"><i class="fa-brands fa-facebook"></i></a><a href="" class="x-twitter" title="X-twitter"><i class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></i></a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/refconf/?viewAsMember=true" class="linkedin" target="_blank" title="Linkedin"><i class="fa-brands fa-linkedin"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container py-4"> <div class="copyright"> Conference Management System. <span id='sp_crt'>Powered by <a target='_blank' href='https://journalmanager.net/'>JournalManager</a></span> </div> <div class="credits"> </div> </div> </footer> <div id="___preloader"></div> <a href="javascript:scrolltop()" class="back-to-top d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center"><i class="bi bi-arrow-up-short"></i></a>  <script src="./themes/default/front/assets/vendor/aos/aos.js"></script> <script src="./themes/default/front/assets/vendor/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script> <script src="./themes/default/front/assets/vendor/glightbox/js/glightbox.min.js"></script> <script src="./themes/default/front/assets/vendor/isotope-layout/isotope.pkgd.min.js"></script> <script src="./themes/default/front/assets/js/main.js"></script> <script src="./inc/js/conf.js"></script> </body> </html>
