Note from the Technical Editor

“The authority of scientific opinion remains essentially mutual; it is established between scientists, not above them.” Michael Polanyi The quality and timeliness of peer review depend on finding the right reviewers for each manuscript. As industrial engineering continues to cover a wide range of topics, accurate reviewer information remains important to a strong review process. This edition of the South African Journal of Industrial Engineering contains 13 articles across areas such as digital transformation, manufacturing, optimisation, reliability, sustainability, waste management, engineering education, and business model innovation. This breadth reflects the range of expertise needed to support the journal’s review process. SAJIE is strengthening its reviewer database to support effective reviewer matching and to maintain constructive, timely, and knowledgeable feedback to authors. Existing reviewers are encouraged to update their profiles with current institutional details, areas of expertise, and reviewing interests. Members of the industrial engineering community who would like to contribute as reviewers are also invited to register on the SAJIE platform and indicate their reviewing interests.
