To Solve Scheduling Problems to Minimize Carbon Footprint
Effective scheduling is an important method proposed by some shop floor engineers and operational analysts to minimize carbon emissions. Scheduling always has a key role in the manufacturing environment and operations management. There is a direct link between the energy consumption of a manufacturing facility and its environmental impact, which is mostly analyzed as a carbon footprint.

Types of High-Temperature Fixed-Bed Particle Solar Receivers
Among a large number of receivers, the fixed-bed Particle Solar Receiver (PSR) represents a new pathway to high temperature with maximum overall thermal efficiency. The incoming solar radiation can penetrate deeper into the fixed-bed PSR filled with semi-transparent quartz and ceramic particles (spheres or Raschig rings), resulting in an increased volumetric effect. The semi-transparent PSR is full of the quartz glass spheres and/or quartz glass Raschig rings with smooth surfaces for high-temperature applications. The opaque PSR utilizes the ceramic material (e.g., silicon carbide, zirconium oxide and aluminium oxide) or a high-temperature alloy as heating particles. The mixed PSR is defined as a PSR that is full of mixed particles with various optical performances, namely, some quartz glass particles and other opaque particles.

Mitigate Disaster Effects in Closed Loop Supply Chains
The industrial world is increasingly exposed to risk as a result of major natural and man-made disasters, necessitating a rethinking of how industrial companies and communities recover. Experience has shown that policies designed to operate within a given range of conditions are frequently confronted with unexpected challenges when they are used outside of that range due to an unexpected disaster event. The increased level of complexity in the case of Closed Loop Supply Chains (CLSCs) turns them into vulnerable systems under a disaster event. The latter calls for a methodological approach that allows a dynamic study under alternative policies in mitigating the disaster effects with a focus on creating sustainable CLSCs.

Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Risks from Supply-Chain
The technology called carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is important for capturing CO2 emissions before they enter the air. Because everyone wants to stop global warming by reducing CO2 emissions, CCUS is an important and emerging technology that can help slow down climate change, lower emissions in many areas, and support the move toward a sustainable and carbon-neutral future. As CCUS technology and its adaptation increases, it is very important to pay attention to the CCUS risks from a supply chain (SC) point of view. The goal of this study was to identify CCUS supply chain risks and develop a conceptual framework (CF) that provides a structured approach to ensure safe and reliable CCUS supply chain operations.

Evaluating Wheat Suppliers Using Fuzzy MCDM Technique
Wheat has significantly impacted food security in numerous countries. Like the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Jordan’s daily diet contains a sizable amount of wheat. Further, Jordan is dealing with several issues, including rapid population growth, water scarcity, widespread urbanization, and limited agricultural wheat production. Thus, it imports most of its wheat and wheat products. Moreover, the method of selecting suppliers in Jordan is unique, as private importers import for the benefit of the government, and thus, the selection of suppliers is carried out by importers.

Sukavichinomics: The 1994 High-Speed Trains Master Plan
High-Speed Trains as National Strategy: The Sukavichinomics Vision of 1994 explores the formative policy framework behind Thailand’s earliest high-speed rail master plan proposed by H.E. Mr.Sukavich Rangsitpol, then Governor of the Expressway and Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (ETA) and later Deputy Prime Minister. This paper argues that the 1994 plan was not merely a transportation initiative but a visionary national strategy designed to bridge regional inequality, boost economic competitiveness, and prepare Thai citizens for the 21st century. Drawing upon archival materials, speeches, and a strategic planning dissertation at Southern Methodist University, this study situates the rail strategy within the broader reformist paradigm of “Sukavichinomics”—a framework that aligned infrastructure, education, and economic modernization into a unified national development doctrine. The six-route, 3,400-kilometer network envisioned in 1994 remains relevant in 2025, offering a case study in long-term strategic policymaking in the Global South.
