Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, sustainability has become an essential part of managing industrial organizations and service sectors. Sustainability is fast becoming a necessity rather than a trend to achieve the optimal use of resources, energy, and water that helps mitigate environmental impact, reduce total lifecycle cost, generate profits, and promote social responsibility. Growing global awareness of the importance of green solutions and stricter enforcement of environmental regulations have driven companies to integrate sustainability in various industrial engineering activities and engineering management practices. The employment of sustainability in industrial engineering and engineering management can successfully increase operational efficiency and reduce waste, reach new customers and increase competitive advantage, strengthen reputation and build public trust, build long-term viability and success, and respond to regulatory constraints.
The main objective of sustainability is to meet the needs of the present without compromising the prospects of future generations. In line with this, the aim of this Special Issue is to promote sustainability in industrial engineering and engineering management so that researchers and practitioners in these fields can address its implementation from an economic, environmental, and societal point of view.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Sustainable manufacturing systems and production management;
- Sustainable supply chain management and reverse logistics;
- Sustainable quality engineering and industrial monitoring;
- Sustainable product development;
- Sustainable development policies and regulations;
- Sustainable waste management;
- Sustainable project and construction management;
- Sustainable asset and maintenance management;
- Sustainable and renewable energy management;
- Sustainable operations management;
- Sustainable Lean Six Sigma;
- Sustainable safety.
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.
