Assessing the role of digital logistics agility in enhancing intelligent quality management: The mediating influence of green sourcing strategies, an empirical investigation

This research paper seeks to research the place of logistics agility and intelligent quality management. The conundrum is represented by rapid evolution in the industrial supply chain operations due to digital transformation especially in the developing countries. Thus, this research aims at exploring how digital logistics agility impacts intelligent quality management with the moderated impact of green sourcing strategy in the Jordanian industrial sector. This was a quantitative research methodology; the study was done by the use of a structured survey questionnaire which was sent to those working in supply chain and operations of a sample size of Jordanian industrial firms. We employed the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypothesis of the direct and indirect correlations between digital logistics agility and green sourcing strategies and intelligent quality management. This analysis established that the idea of digital logistics agility has a considerable impact on green sourcing policies and smart quality management activities. The indirect impact of the logistics on the quality of the outcomes through the mediation of a green-sourcing is also substantial, meaning that, in as much as an agile logistics system can enhance the quality outcomes, its ability to do so will be greater in case it also involves the introduction of environmentally friendly sourcing practices. The current research demonstrates that the digital logistics agility can be used to improve the intelligent quality control in the industrial environment when combined with the green sourcing strategies. The findings explain the ways that supply chain managers, sustainability officers, as well as policymakers can educate the design of resilient, evidence-based, and sustainable industrial systems in Jordan.
