The Fourth industrial revolution has prompted companies to implement Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in their supply chain to be more agile, flexible, transparent, and competitive, driving companies into a Reconfigurable Supply Chain (REC). However, the contribution of I4.0 along REC to achieve SC and company performance is unclear. Therefore, hierarchical regression analysis and a simple & multiple mediation model were used to test the hypothesis considering a sample of 309 international firms. The results show that I4.0 has a full mediator role between REC and SCP, improving companies’ performance. Also, I4.0 partially mediates the relationship between SCP and PERF through REC. Empirical evidence demonstrated that REC is more oriented to reducing costs than developing structural REC dimensions, and six of the fifteen REC enablers evaluated are affecting REC performance. Overall, I4.0 can be considered as a transversal paradigm that, in the short term, will move its role from mediating to moderating relationships between SCP and PERF

In this growing age of technological improvements, we have seen how communications and management of computer networks have changed. Recently, we have seen the increased use of virtual networking for interacting online and doing remote work. Therefore, we have investigated virtual networking within VMware Workstation Pro with emphasis on performance analysis and security, by implementing ways to improve various aspects of them. Our effort has been to create a virtual network with four virtual machines (VMs) that interact with each other. Then, we conducted performance analysis, created and included optimization strategies, evaluated its security measures, and located potential threats as we simultaneously managed comparing the before and after results made through the extensive testing and validations for potential improvements and effectiveness

The systematic review aims to understand the influence of new technologies and process optimization in different companies in Latin America. A database was used with 50 articles that have information on the proposed variables, that support the central idea of our research. Currently, there are many companies that implement new technologies to improve different areas, and they optimize their functions to achieve objectives in the shortest time possible; We seek to know in what ways these influence companies and how they contribute to their decisions. The method used was PRISMA, whichallows us to carry out a systematic review of a series of articles that we chose to support our research. It was concluded that different technological methods provide a database to the organization, this allows them to have the exact and necessary information that helps them make decisions, in turnoptimizing the response time to their deliveries or queries by part of its suppliers; Therefore, we confirm that new technologies and process optimization play a very important role in different companies.

Artificial intelligence supported by knowledge management, has generated the possibility of proposing, designing and implementing various techniques and tactics that have made the process of discerning between multiple options and choosing the optimal one according to the needs of the business, simpler, faster and more effective. This article aims to present the integration of artificial intelligence and knowledge management, in order to achieve the above mentioned with a single model, which is based on expert systems based on artificial intelligence and Andersen's knowledge management model (1999).
