RS, Brasil *lucas_goecks@hotmail.com Abstract Paper aims: Due to the scarcity of research on current scenarios of quality management in the 21 st century, this article addresses the concepts of big data and Industry 4.0 for decision-making in quality control. Originality: This article contributes to completing categorizations and answering questions that have been previously suggested. Research method: This study presents a systematic literature review and qualitative data. The methodological framework shows the process of the selection and review of articles according to their alignment with the objective of the study. Main findings: Seventeen articles were selected to structure the study and were classified according the categories presented in the literature. The vast majority of the research gaps pointed out in previous review have been filled since their publication. Implications for theory and practice: In addition, this article presents new gaps to be filled and complements the literature and concepts about quality management neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS). The study identified critical adoption factors from a literature review and categorized them into technological, organizational, and environmental dimensions. Data were collected from 234 industrial managers who were involved in the decision-making process regarding IT acquisition in manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The results of the study showed that technological factors have the most considerable influence on the adoption of big data and the performance of companies. The study shows that complexity and technological resources for adoption are the main barriers to adopting technological factors. The study of Para et al. (2019) presents the methodology Analyze, Sense, Preprocess, Predict, Implement, and Deploy (ASPPID), an interactive decision flow to improve the production stage. By putting the data analyst at the center of the workflow, this methodology helps improvement teams make decisions about what parts of a process need to be investigated and how to exploit that information for verifiable improvement in the production cycle. The methodology implementation is exemplified by a real case study of the automotive industry, where the detection of defects in an annealing process can be modeled as a classification problem in a highly unbalanced data set. The results obtained after applying the ASPPID methodology showed that the scrap rate was reduced, thus highlighting the crucial role of the data analyst in the plant management team. In the study developed by Tsai et al. (2019b), the authors present a structure for the study of the relationship between the manufacturing execution system (MES) and activity-based standard costing (ABSC). These results demonstrate the concept of ABSC, combining activity-based costing (ABC) and MES. Finally, the authors describe the ABSC mixed decision model using mathematical programming (with LINGO software). With limited resources, the opti

Paper aims: This research has two main objectives, firstly to analyze the level of implementation of lean and green practices of a set of companies and secondly to analyze the relationship between lean and green initiatives in an industrial context. Originality: The use of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) allows a better analysis of the interlinkage of lean and green towards sustainable gains. The developed model offers conceptual contribution to the arena of the logistics, sustainability, lean and green. Research methods: The methodology used in this study was carried out resorting an inquiry. Firstly, aiming to understand the level of these practices (lean and green) practices in the North of Portugal, a case study was considered. The sample taken is a convenient one, due to time and budget constraints. Secondly, in order to assess the possibility to combine lean ad and green initiatives, a statistical approach was used to develop a SEM for lean and green practices. Main findings: The results demonstrated that the level of implementation of lean and green practices on Portuguese companies are not properly addressed and formalized. The statistical analysis also showed that lean environmental practices and green practices are positively associated. The research showed that lean and green has also a positive impact on the logistics processes of companies. Implications for theory and practice: This research brings some contributions to both academy and companies. Firstly, a further discussion about the benefits of combining lean and green towards sustainability. Secondly, the development of a structural model for lean and green practices was presented, this model contributes to a better understanding of these practices, which can lead companies to develop strategic initiatives towards sustainability.

Paper aims: To provide guidance on formulating and clarifying research questions from abstract and broad ideas. Originality: Reports of empirical research invariably offer limited insights on the opaque process of developing research questions, aims and objectives. Moreover, we are not aware of a similar discussion within this journal, as well as other management journals. Research method: This is a theoretical paper. Main findings: Among other factors, our discussion highlights the role of theory and self-reflection in the process of research topic refinement. We consider the nature and types of theoretical contribution a research project can make, highlighting some common reasons why journal submissions are often rejected due to failure to provide a theoretical contribution. Implications for theory and practice: Greater reflexivity in this process should ultimately lead to clearer theoretical contributions and more manageable research topics, with greater practical and societal relevance.

Columbus, Ohio, United States *guilherme.benitez@hotmail.com Abstract Paper aims: The objective is to make a comparative analysis between different transportation modes used in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre and to analyze its performance in relation to time, cost and carbon emissions. Originality: Investigation of the urban mobility situation on the perspective of sustainability in a Latin American city, including the analysis of Uber pool, implemented in November 2018 in the metropolitan region analyzed. Research method : A case study was carried out in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, as well as the definition of 4 different routes used as unit of analysis for different types of transportation modes. Main findings: Riding bicycle is a very convenient transportation mode in terms of its environmental perspectives and costs. However, the time of locomotion using bicycle is superior in relation to other modes of transportation. Therefore, riding a private car still stands out in the comparisons between different types of transport, since it is a faster mode of transportation. Implications for theory and practice: As riding bicycle is a very convenient transportation mode, we highlight the importance of encouraging its use.

*g.tortorella@ufsc.br Abstract Paper aims: This article aims to evaluate the impact of Lean Production (LP) practices implementation on the supply chain of a public hospital. Originality: Most implementations fall short of their goals because they are done in a fragmented way and not from a system-wide perspective. Our approach allows to anticipate errors of misguided LP implementations in healthcare organizations. Research method: The implementation of a set of LP practices in the hospital`s supply chain was assessed by computational simulation modelling, focusing on one of the most financially important product families. Main findings: Since the simulation model considers the variability of suppliers and customers as inputs, it allows the verification of the proposed inventory policies effectiveness, in order to avoid affecting the service level. Implications for theory and practice: The proposition of a method that integrates value stream mapping into computational simulation modelling brings a differentiated approach to analyze lean implementation in a healthcare supply chain. The simulation model supports a more assertive decision-making process on lean implementation, allowing the organization to ensure that the quality and efficiency of healthcare is not

Originality : The authors conclude that previous life cycle assessment (LCA) studies did not recommend for dairy supply chain or use this approach to assess the environmental impacts in this chain. Research method : A cradle-to-gate attributional life cycle assessment (LCA) study performed in a focal company and considering its transport and processing stages, and three scenarios were proposed as suitable. Main findings : The impacts derive from energy use and transportation of feedstocks, and the use of cleaning products and certain types of packaging materials. A decrease of 46.5% of the impact in the photochemical oxidant formation category was achieved. Implications for theory and practice : The results can identify the different impacts throughout the dairy chain associated with the main product’s life cycle,

Alegre, RS, Brasil *carollpaslauski@hotmail.com Abstract Paper aims : Identify the differences in the competences of the production engineering alumni and the importance attributed to it by : This is funded on investigating the gap between the competences the academy and the job market attribute to the professional of production engineering. Research method : A questionnaire with production engineers was conducted to collect data that was analyzed using descriptive and predictive quantitative methods. Main findings : Soft skills have higher importance to the job market but are the less addressed by universities. Professional competence importance is dependent on the sector. The skills with the higher gaps are associated with the constant transformation of industries and the increasing complexity of decision-making. Implications for theory and practice : Theory should adopt a strategic orientation to guide the prioritization of competences and practice must adapt selection mechanisms to test for soft skills and customize it had alpha application through NCSS, besides simple graphs, IPA matrix, and ANOVA.

Brasil *rafaelortegamarin@gmail.com Abstract Paper aims : the purpose of this study is to analyze how Open Innovation (OI) activities occur in Product Development Processes (PDP) and in the design of new products. Originality : the study is based on a self-developed and conducted survey, applied to engineers and managers working in departments involving product development and innovation among the Brazilian automakers. Research method: the method adopted is that of a questionnaire-based survey. Results are analyzed through a principal component analysis, followed by ordinary least squares regressions, in order to test the hypotheses proposed. Main findings : results suggest that inbound practices were more present than outbound practices, with a strong presence of the supplier in the design process (and not so much of a user-centered approach). Correlation between an organizational culture that favors OI and adoption to newer PDP methods and tools indicate that adopting newer product development methodologies and technologies could lead to a more “open” design process. Implications for theory and practice: the research provides an overview of open innovation within the Brazilian automakers, and reports what could be opportunities for the automotive industry to
