Adopting Smart Tools in the Mango Leagile Supply Chain for Enhancing the Circular Supply Chain
摘要
The adoption of digital technologies and intelligent systems is significantly enhancing efficiency and safety across the global agri-food industry. Integrating Industry 4.0 objectives with circular economy principles offers effective solutions to challenges such as resource scarcity and environmental impact. This study proposes a leagile supply chain model—combining lean and agile methodologies—to optimize mango supply chains worldwide. By leveraging Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in postharvest processes such as drying and storage, the model enables remote monitoring and control of key environmental parameters. CPS technologies, through sensors, actuators, and data-driven algorithms, provide real-time feedback, minimize human error, and support precision in decentralized processing units. Findings show a reduction in total supply chain time from 41 to 30 days (26.8%), with efficiency gains of 25% in harvesting and 28.5% in storage. The integration of CPS strengthens circular supply chain practices, reduces losses, and enhances sustainability, profitability, and system resilience across global mango supply chains.
