Purpose

In the digitalization era, supply chain processes and activities have changed entirely, and smart technology impacts each sustainable supply chain movement. The warehouse and distribution of various organizations have started adopting smart technologies globally. However, the adoption of smart technologies in the Indian warehousing industry is minimal. The study aims to identify the implementation barriers of smart technology in the Indian warehouse to achieve sustainability.

Design/methodology/approach

This study employs an integrated Delphi-ISM-ANP research approach. The study uses the Delphi approach to finalize the barriers identified from the detailed literature review and expert opinion. The finalized 17 barriers are modeled using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) to get the contextual relationship. The ISM method's output and analysis using the analytical network process (ANP) illustrate priorities.

Findings

The study's findings showed that the lack of government support, lack of vision and mission and the lack of skilled manpower are the most significant barriers restricting the organization from implementing smart and sustainable supply chain practices in the warehouse.

Practical implications

This study would help the practitioners enable the sustainable warehousing system or convert the existing warehouse into a smart and sustainable warehouse by developing an appropriate strategy. This study would also help reduce the impact of different barriers that would strengthen the chance of technology adoption in the warehouses.

Originality/value

The literature related to adopting smart and sustainable practices in the warehouse is scarce. Modeling of adoption barrier for smart and sustainable warehouse using an integrated research approach is the uniqueness of this study that have added value in the existing scientific knowledge.

使用 Delphi-ISM-ANP 方法在印度可持续仓库中实施智能技术的障碍

目的

在数字化时代，供应链流程和活动发生了翻天覆地的变化，智能技术影响着每一个可持续的供应链运动。各种组织的仓库和配送已开始在全球范围内采用智能技术。然而，印度仓储业采用智能技术的情况很少。该研究旨在确定印度仓库中智能技术的实施障碍，以实现可持续性。

设计/方法/方法

本研究采用综合的 Delphi-ISM-ANP 研究方法。该研究使用 Delphi 方法来确定从详细的文献回顾和专家意见中确定的障碍。使用解释结构建模 (ISM) 对最终确定的 17 个障碍进行建模，以获得上下文关系。ISM 方法的输出和使用分析网络过程 (ANP) 的分析说明了优先级。

发现

研究结果表明，缺乏政府支持、缺乏远见和使命以及缺乏熟练的人力是限制组织在仓库中实施智能和可持续供应链实践的最重要障碍。

实际影响

这项研究将帮助从业者通过制定适当的策略来启用可持续仓储系统或将现有仓库转变为智能和可持续的仓库。这项研究还将有助于减少不同障碍的影响，这些障碍将增加仓库采用技术的机会。

原创性/价值

与在仓库中采用智能和可持续实践相关的文献很少。使用综合研究方法对智能和可持续仓库的采用障碍进行建模是本研究的独特之处，它为现有科学知识增加了价值。
