The current study aimed at exploring the impact of supply chain internal and external integration on the operational performance of manufacturing companies operating in Jordan, as well as addressing the possibility of a mediation effect of lean operations and practises on the proposed relationship. Achieving the study objectives necessitated using the deductive approach and the descriptive survey approach. Using a well-designed questionnaire, the primary data was collected from a 315-manager sample randomly selected from the companies. Accordingly, the nature of how supply chain integration, lean operations, and operational performance impact each other was investigated. The study results revealed that integrating the supply chain both internally and externally could increase the opportunity to attain a more desirable operational performance, particularly in terms of quality performance measures. Moreover, in the vein of adopting lean practices among manufacturing companies, a positive mediation effect was found. Thus. In light of these results, it is concluded that lean operations, as a mediating variable, positively influence the association between internal and external supply chain integration on quality measures of operational performance.

There has been a significant increase in the study of the history and culture of historical artifacts, whether they take the form of cultural heritage or Waqf. A literature review of web-based information systems was conducted for digitizing historical preservation and Waqf. Papers were sourced from various databases, including Publish or Perish, which produced 1043 journals, 370 articles, and 673 items from reputable sources, Google Scholar, and Crossref, respectively. The focus of the literature review was the information system for digitizing history and Waqf and integrating ontology databases. This literature review study aims to trace the evolution of study objects related to history and endowments. The results showed that most studies emphasized the user-understanding aspect of digitization, while the technical aspect was focused on using cutting-edge technology, such as 3D and virtual reality.

Measuring the performance of a supply chain is normally of a function of various parameters. Such a problem often involves in a multiple criteria decision making (MCMD) problem where different criteria need to be defined and calculated, properly. During the past two decades, Analytical hierarchy procedure (AHP) and DEMATEL have been some of the most popular MCDM approaches for prioritizing various attributes. The study of this paper uses a new methodology which is a combination of AHP and DEMATEL to rank various parameters affecting the performance of the supply chain. The DEMATEL is used for understanding the relationship between comparison metrics and AHP is used for the integration to provide a value for the overall performance
