Thematic Section linked to IJCIEOM 2027, published in the journal Production (ABEPRO).
Driving Responsible Production and Consumption through Systemic Circularity and Interconnected Value Ecosystems
Operations management and production planning are undergoing a twin transition, in which digitalization and sustainability increasingly reinforce one another. Advances in Industry 4.0/5.0, data-driven planning and artificial intelligence are reshaping how organizations plan, schedule and control production, while growing pressure for regenerative and circular practices pushes production systems toward more resilient and sustainable configurations.
This Thematic Section advances knowledge on how operations management and production planning can be reconceived and operationalized under the twin transition — addressing trade-offs between efficiency, resilience, sustainability and human-centered values, with particular attention to systemic circularity, responsible production and consumption, regenerative practices, and the coordination of interconnected value ecosystems enabled by digital intelligence.
Production (formerly Produção) is the flagship journal of ABEPRO — the Brazilian Association of Production Engineering. Created in 1990 (ISSN 0103-6513), it provides an internationally respected channel for original and relevant research in Operations, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, and Production Engineering and Management.
Articles undergo double-blind peer review and accepted works are published in English in continuous flow.
