The advancements in information and communication technology are said to have led to increased customer experience and service efficiency. Other technologies that may affect sustainable operations and service automation includes self-driving vehicles, 3D printing and robotics, all but to name a few. This research will explore the use of RAISA currently being applied in the sustainable operations management in the Irish Hotel sectors, and how the continued use and development of such technologies will impact on the sustainable operations management.
RAISA has the potential to provide a wealth of opportunities to both the hotel sector by improving sustainable operation management in relation to product delivery, ensuring consistency and by transferring processes to the customer. Although there have been technological strides in the development of RAISA in recent years, there has been very little focus on how these developments will affect sustainable operations management in high contact service industries such as tourism and hospitality, especially its effects on a tourism dependent economy such as Ireland. This research aims to narrow this gap in research by identifying the current uses of RAISA in Sustainable operations management by the Irish Hotel sectors and to provide strategies for the adoption of RAISA by companies in the hotel sector in relation to sustainable operations management.
