Abstract

This study delves into the intricacies of optimizing the supply chain of AdBlue, a crucial fluid used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce harmful emissions from diesel engines. As environmental regulations tighten globally, the demand for AdBlue has surged, prompting the need for a comprehensive examination of its supply chain. By scrutinizing ten pivotal areas encompassing procurement, production, inventory management, distribution, and end-user utilization, the study aims to pinpoint inefficiencies and propose targeted solutions. From the sourcing of raw materials to the intricacies of distribution networks and the final consumption by end-users, every facet presents ripe opportunities for enhancement in terms of cost efficiency and operational efficacy. The respondents were selected utilizing a simple random sampling method. A sample of 120 employees were randomly selected for data collection. Statistical methods including correlation and chi-square tests were employed for data analysis. Through the synthesis of key findings and actionable recommendations, this research seeks to empower industry stakeholders to navigate the evolving landscape of emissions control with confidence and efficacy, thereby contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable transportation ecosystem.
