To address the lack of an integrated sustainable-ERP (S-ERP) selection framework for these conditions, this study develops and applies a Grey System Theory (GST)-based Grey Ordinal Priority Approach (OPA-G). The framework embeds sustainability, circular economy, and Industry 4.0 criteria in a single decision structure and represents the judgments of a three-member expert panel as ordinal priorities under grey interval uncertainty, avoiding pairwise comparisons while preserving uncertainty through grey numbers. The model is applied to a real manufacturing case, and its robustness is tested through seven expert-priority scenarios together with area-level (±10%, ±20%) and ordinal perturbation analyses, and benchmarked against Grey TOPSIS and Grey VIKOR. The results show that the Fundamental and Economic criteria dominate the decision (0.640), followed by Industry 4.0 compatibility (0.233), environmental (0.099), and social (0.028) criteria; System Cost, Quality, and Financial Situation are the most influential criteria, while Cloud and Edge Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and IoT are the leading digital requirements. The framework yields the ranking ERP1 > ERP2 > ERP3 > ERP4, which remains unchanged across all perturbation scenarios and is reproduced identically by Grey TOPSIS and Grey VIKOR. Although economic performance remains primary, Industry 4.0 capabilities are the decisive enablers that make environmental and social monitoring operationally executable. The proposed framework therefore offers a transparent, robust, and practically implementable decision-support tool for sustainable ERP procurement under uncertainty, extensible to multi-firm panels and broader sustainability domains.

Usually, they are helpless in dealing with abnormal situations in conflict areas. Few projects attempted to introduce new concepts for architectural conservation in conflict areas with innovative practical implementation. One of these projects was the conservation of Al-Alami house in Gaza, Palestine in 2010 (destroyed by Israel in 2023). Despite the innovative theoretical approach and practical applications used in this project, there is still a need for further development to arrive at a more theoretically sound and practically stronger approach that will still be appropriate for architectural conservation in conflict areas. This research introduces the Minimal Adaptive Conservation for Saving Urban Memory - MACSUM, as a new approach for architectural heritage conservation in conflict and post conflict areas. This approach calls for a shift from material-centred, expert-led restoration and puts the continuity of urban memory and identity in its focus. MACSUM is a theoretical framework that aims to safeguard heritage through minimal intervention, adaptive reuse, and local partnerships. It brings the community as the primary carrier of cultural dignity and urban memory. The research uses case study analysis to examine the application of MACSUM in the preservation of Al-Ashi historical house in Gaza, Palestine. MACSUM highlights the activation of local partnership, incremental conservation, and adaptive reuse as major foundations for conservation in conflict areas. This project demonstrated that the context and innovative conservation approach are of great importance and play a vital role in conservation in conflict areas. This article opens the door for future research to develop MACSUM and to examine its applications in other conflict areas like Syria and Ukraine.

In this study, the ERP selection process is examined with sustainability and Industry 4.0 criteria under fuzzy and grey uncertainty methodologies. Design/methodology/approach A case study employed the intuitionistic fuzzy sets-based grey ordinal priority approach (OPA-G) methodology to evaluate sustainability criteria that are in line with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations and seven generic framework applications of Industry 4.0 compatibility. This approach was particularly chosen to address the uncertainties involved in selecting appropriate and reliable ERP software. Findings In this study, the enterprises often prioritize economic performance over environmental and social criteria. However, there is also recognition of the importance of integrating Industry 4.0 technologies such as cloud and edge computing, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data in ERP selection processes to foster sustainable practices. Practical implications Industry 4.0 technologies enhance sustainability by providing real-time data analytics, increasing supply chain transparency, and optimizing resources to minimize waste and environmental impact. These innovations help businesses align with global sustainability standards, balancing economic, environmental, and social goals considering the circular economy (CE) while appealing to conscious consumers and investors. Originality/value This study introduces a novel use of the intuitionistic fuzzy set-based grey OPA methodology to evaluate sustainability criteria in ERP software selection, focusing on incorporating sustainability uncertainties and highlighting the importance of Industry 4.0 technologies for sustainable development under CE.
