Warehousing 5.0, sustainability and circularity integration addresses critical environmental and operational challenges in resource-intensive sectors such as mining. This study focuses on a Peruvian mining company motivated by the need to optimize warehouse operations, minimize waste, and enhance resource efficiency. The objective is to identify and prioritize key criteria for sustainability and circularity using the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) and expert input. The methodology involves a literature review to define dimensions—sustainability, circularity, and technology—followed by pairwise comparisons to determine their importance. Results show that sustainability is the most critical dimension, with workplace safety emerging as the top priority, complemented by circularity strategies like reverse logistics and material reuse. We highlight the importance of Warehousing 5.0 as a practical framework to align operational efficiency with environmental and social objectives, particularly in developing economies. The findings offer valuable insights for fostering resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable practices in mining supply chains and similar industries.

摘要

Warehousing 5.0, sustainability and circularity integration addresses critical environmental and operational challenges in resource-intensive sectors such as mining. This study focuses on a Peruvian mining company motivated by the need to optimize warehouse operations, minimize waste, and enhance resource efficiency. The objective is to identify and prioritize key criteria for sustainability and circularity using the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) and expert input. The methodology involves a literature review to define dimensions—sustainability, circularity, and technology—followed by pairwise comparisons to determine their importance. Results show that sustainability is the most critical dimension, with workplace safety emerging as the top priority, complemented by circularity strategies like reverse logistics and material reuse. We highlight the importance of Warehousing 5.0 as a practical framework to align operational efficiency with environmental and social objectives, particularly in developing economies. The findings offer valuable insights for fostering resilience, competitiveness, and sustainable practices in mining supply chains and similar industries.
