In this research, using a quantitative-qualitative method, the effect of using digital technology such as artificial intelligence and blockchain in the accounting process was studied with the aim of increasing transparency and efficiency. The accountants' society of Iraq, as the accountants' union, was chosen as the statistical society. Sampling was accessible and purposeful. In the quantitative part, ten people and in the qualitative part one hundred people agreed to cooperate, and there were no common members between the two communities. The found factors include 1. providing suitable software, with sub-factors of simplicity in use, installation, calculations and recording with high reliability; 2. Increasing speed with secondary factors of speed in calculations, recognition of conflicts, timely notification of errors and speed in analysis; 3. Recognizing conflicts with the sub-factors of numerical, qualitative, management and development conflicts and 4. Intelligent calculations with the sub-factors of timely declaration of conflict, periodic declaration of conflict, periodic analysis and reporting in plain language were determined.</p>2024-11-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://scholarsdigest.org/index.php/bmes/article/view/899THE ROLE OF SOME REVERSE LOGISTICS ACTIVITIES IN ENHANCING SUSTAINABLE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF THE OPINIONS OF A SAMPLE OF EMPLOYEES AT THE BADOUSH CEMENT FACTORY IN NINEVEH PROVINCE2024-11-11T07:32:28+00:00Omar S. Abdullahomarsaeedmrs373222@gmail.com<p>This research aims to measure and identify the role of certain reverse logistics activities in enhancing the sustainable competitive advantage of the studied factory. This, in turn, reflects in improved employee performance, increased productivity, and boosted morale among individuals working in the environment, leading to the enhancement of the sustainable competitive advantage of the studied plant. This, in turn, strengthens the sustainable competitive advantage of the factory under study. The research problem is represented by the fact that the workplace suffers from low productivity due to the use of traditional tools and methods, which have a negative effect on the factory and its employees. To address this problem, the study adopts the approach of reverse logistics activities to overcome the weaknesses in the material resources used in the work environment, thereby enhancing sustainable competitive advantage. A questionnaire was used as the primary tool for data collection in the researched field, and the sample comprised employees at the (Badosh Cement Factory) in Nineveh Governorate, specifically in the city of Mosul. Data were analyzed, leading to a set of conclusions based on the results. The research also presents a series of recommendations that benefit the studied factories.</p>2024-11-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://scholarsdigest.org/index.php/bmes/article/view/900EMPLOYING A SIMULATION MODEL TO EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM DIVISION IN THE MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS PLANNING (MRP) SYSTEM2024-11-11T07:34:12+00:00Mohammad Turki Abdul-Abbasmuhammed.t@uokerbala.edu.iq<p>The research aims to investigate the strategy for allocating mechanics of the production system consisting of materials subjected to Material Requirements Planning (MRP) system control byperformance evaluations whose components are: inventory costs, late order costs and the level of services. The research problem is mainly centred ondetermining the best model that achieves MRP based on its peculiarities as a model with complex requirements. This is because figuring out the optimal production technique and breaking the production system down into its component parts are necessary steps in the planning process. Similarly, the strategy applies to thecombinations of machines available for both types of materials. Likewise, the simulation model can equally be used on the developable production plan, which was prepared by determining the landmarks of the specific database without specific work execution by the model. On the high preparation times anda low number of elements, the research found that whenever the production system utilization is higher, the policy of fragmentation or division of the production system will be better. However, the The optimal machine combinations for medium and low utilisation levels are accessible across all versions. Additional research in operations management benefits from the scalable simulation model for many production system types.</p>2024-11-10T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 https://scholarsdigest.org/index.php/bmes/article/view/901CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - ITS STANDARDS AND ORGANIZATIONAL DIMENSIONS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF SOME INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES IN THE APPLICATION OF GOVERNANCE STANDARDS AND DIMENSIONS2024-11-11T07:36:14+00:00Sattar Oleiwi DahashSattar.dahash@stu.edu.iq<p>The application of good governance rules is of great importance to public and private sector institutions, especially for companies listed in the financial markets, as they constitute an important element of the company's evaluation, and a reassuring factor for investors, which leads to gaining the confidence of dealers in the financial market.
