  • Mitigating Gender-Based Occupational Segregation in Logistics with a Job Rotation Model to Diversify Women's Career Paths
    S. Ramya, V. Sivakumar, R. Ruthramathi
    Indian Journal of Information Sources and Services, 2026
    The problem of female occupational segregation in logistics remains an issue, as women tend to be restricted to administrative support, reception, and part-time jobs, whereas males are represented in the sphere of operations, planning, and management. This segregation restricts the career development of women, their skill development, and makes them more prone to attrition, thus affecting not only their individual career but also the organization's performance. Although numerous diversity programs have been introduced, the targeted recruitment, the mentoring programs, and the flexible work policies have contributed little to the overall solution of the underlying causes of segregation in logistics-specific jobs. Current initiatives are centered on the entry-level representation, whereas systematic career mobility and internal job diversification are not considered. This paper will discuss the historical factors that have pushed logistics towards gender-based occupational segregation, which include stereotypes, safety issues, role design, and informal networks that tend to lock out women in high-impact jobs. The paper also summarizes the existing internal mobility measures, such as job rotation programs and skill development programs, and how effective they are in diversifying female careers in logistics. Certain obstacles that impede the progress of women are also discussed, including the problem of the work-life balance, the risk of harassment, the absence of mentorship, and the discriminatory distribution of work. According to the analysis, the paper makes practical suggestions on how to curb the issue of occupational segregation along gender lines. These recommendations involve introducing organized internal mobility schemes, providing equal opportunities to leadership, providing inclusive workplaces, and improving mentorship services. The paper proposes that organizations implement strategies to enhance work-life fit, workplace safety, and provide specific career development support to women. Such initiatives can help increase a more diverse workforce, increase retention rates, and make the organization more resilient. The paper ends with the conclusions about the implications for future research and policy development that require more specific and systematic changes that could lead to the establishment of gender equity and a more diverse and inclusive logistics industry.
  • Leveraging Robotic Process Automation for Enhancing Operational Efficiency and Agility in Warehouse Management Systems
    Sampath Ramesh Iyengar, V. Sivakumar, R. Ruthramathi
    Indian Journal of Information Sources and Services, 2026
    Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) are increasingly being demanded to process high order volumes, handle demand variability, and manage operational complexity, which can be challenging in manual and semi-automated warehouse operations. Such restrictions lead to delays, errors, and reduced responsiveness, especially during peak operations. To resolve these issues, this paper analyses the implementation of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) as a non-invasive automation layer on an existing warehouse management system. The solution suggested aims to automate routine, rule-based warehouse operations, including order processing, inventory updates, and transaction recording, without any changes to the fundamental WMS. The implementation and evaluation of an RPA-based operational structure are based on real warehouse transaction data collected over a long period of operational activity. Performance is measured in terms of agility, operational efficiency, and the accuracy of system behavior before and after automation. The results show that integrating RPA can accelerate task execution, minimize human involvement, and enhance process consistency. Moreover, the system is more flexible in responding to changes in workload and becomes more coordinated in warehouse operations. The paper summarizes that RPA can be a viable, scalable solution for improving warehouse operations, especially when the organization wants to automate processes on a smaller scale without massive system restructuring. The work offers valuable information to practitioners and researchers who may wish to implement software-based automation in the current warehouse management setting.
