Applying Kruskal's Algorithm in Supply Chain Management for Cost-Effective Network Optimization
Abstract: Transportation route optimization and cost reduction are major difficulties in today's dynamic and complicated supply chain systems. To produce economical and effective network designs, this study investigates the use of Kruskal's algorithm for supply chain network optimization. The algorithm guarantees that all supply chain nodes, including delivery hubs, warehouses, and distribution centers, relate to the lowest possible total transportation cost by building the minimum spanning tree (MST). The study shows …

Integrating Digital Twins, Smart Materials, and Human Machine Collaboration for Sustainable Smart Manufacturing: Smart CNC & Industry 4.0 Applications
Abstract: The rapid evolution of Industry 4.0 and the emerging transition toward Industry 5.0 have been catalyzed by the convergence of intelligent digital technologies such as digital twins, cyber–physical systems (CPS), artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and human-in-the-loop (HITL) frameworks. These technologies have transformed traditional manufacturing into adaptive, data-centric ecosystems capable of real-time optimization and predictive decision-making. In recent years, the fusion of computer numerical control (CNC) machines, …
