Enhancing OPEX in the food industry: integrating digital technologies for sustainable transformation

What is it about?

This study explores the incorporation of digital technologies in the context of the food industry’s attempts to achieve operational excellence (OPEX) and support sustainable transformation. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that influence successful integration of digital technologies in the context of food industry for OPEX. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is utilized to create a solid foundation for this study, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis is used to determine the relative importance of the primary factors impacting the integration of digital technologies to achieve OPEX. The finding of this study reveals a comprehensive understanding of the key factors that influences the success of digital technologies integration. Data and Technology (DT) is the most relevant category of factors, as evidenced by a high priority value (PV = 0.419) means 41.9% weight-age among the five categories. The study acknowledges a few limitations, such as industry specific and the unique critical components, in addition to providing helpful insights and useful recommendations. Future research should think about doing comparable studies in different industries and broadening the study's scope to lessen these constraints. By using a dual-method approach, the study not only clarifies how digital technologies influences OPEX but also provides useful advice for companies looking to improve their ability for adaptability in a digitally driven environment.
