Unleashing the power of cloud adoption and artificial intelligence in optimizing resilience and sustainable manufacturing supply chain in the USA

Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 35(7), P. 1329 - 1353

Published: June 27, 2024

Purpose Recent disruptions have sparked concern about building a resilient and sustainable manufacturing supply chain. While artificial intelligence (AI) strengthens resilience, research is needed to understand how cloud adoption can foster integration, collaboration, adaptation manufacturing. Therefore, this study aimed unleash the power of AI in optimizing resilience performance through collaboration adaptive capabilities at firms. Design/methodology/approach This followed deductive approach employed quantitative method with survey technique collect data from its target population. The used stratified random sampling sample size 1,279 participants working diverse industries across California, Texas New York. Findings investigated companies make their chains more sustainable. findings revealed that integrating enhance adaptability, leading better (hypotheses H1-H7, except H5). Additionally, utilizing helps improve further strengthening sustainability (H8-H11). Interestingly, found internal integration alone does not significantly impact (H5). suggests external factors are critical fostering within chain during disruptions. Originality/value dives into complex world interconnected (formative constructs higher order) influencing chains. Using advanced modeling techniques, it highlights powerful cloud-based integration. Cloud-based unlock significant improvements for manufacturers decision-makers by enabling information processes dynamic capability theory.
