Summary

This reprint focused on solutions that aim to increase the economic, environmental and social sustainability of companies or institutions that base their activity on processes. Processes are particularly affected by lapses in task sequencing, logistical problems between posts, operations or agents involved, lack of efficiency, problems that may affect work performance in the short, medium or long term, etc. These are essentially constant concerns of Industrial Management, for which it is urgent to find solutions capable not of solving a specific problem, but models that can be applied in a broader way in situations that are proven to be similar.
