Industry 5.0 is a concept that extends the advancements of past industrial revolutions, emphasizing the amalgamation of cutting-edge technologies with a focus on manufacturing that prioritizes humans and the circular economy. It foresees a future where technological advancements are utilized not solely for elevating efficiency and productivity, but also for tackling environmental and societal dilemmas. Circular economy and sustainability are significant factors in the Industry 5.0 framework, aiming to integrate industrial development with ecological and societal well-being. This study intends to conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications pertaining to the circular economy and sustainability in Industry 5.0, utilizing the Scopus database provided by Elsevier, in order to know the evolution of the publications that relate these concepts. Thus, keywords related to these topics have been analyzed to determine the number of published papers, top authors, citations, leading journals, countries, and affiliations with the highest output. A network analysis using the R-based software “biblioshiny” revealed current research trends and interest in circular economy and sustainability in Industry 5.0. The analysis is expected to unveil the intellectual framework of these areas, emphasizing the significance of sustainable economic practices, efficient resource usage, and technological advances in Industry 5.0. Furthermore, a thematic map and trend topics highlighted crucial notions, including the transition to circular business models and the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies in Industry 5.0. The study aims to offer guidance for researchers in these domains, accentuating the capability of quantitative methods in apprehending these subjects.

This article analyzes the operational performance measurement in humanitarian logistics (HL). For this purpose, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted aiming to present general information about the context of performance measurement in HL, based on relevant studies on the subject. Thus, 55 articles published from 2010 to 2020 were examined to answer three research questions (RQ1, RQ2 and RQ3). The results underline an increasing trend of the number of publications related to the performance measurement in HL, probably led by the growing pressure for humanitarian organizations (HO) to deliver increasingly efficient and effective operations. The gaps and, consequently, the research opportunities, identified by the analysis of the articles, can guide the planning and implementation of the performance measurement of HL in different situations, bringing benefits to both users and suppliers in this chain.

The transition from linear economy (LE) towards a circular economy (CE) is Europe Union´s (EU) concerned and involve lot of efforts and actions. Education for circular economy (ECE) is emergent. This paper aims to map Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Portugal, Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs and Postgraduate courses in Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) that address CE in their curricula with the aim of empowering students for the new era. A systematic search was performed to identify B.Sc./ M.Sc. in IEM of Portuguese Universities and Polytechnic Institutes, public and private, analyzing the content of their curricular units. As results, this study did not identify a strong interest about CE on the part of HEIs and their lecturers. Findings suggest that HEIs are not training future IEM engineers for the era of CE. This study contributes to make an alert to HEIs and their lecturers to review their teaching process, stimulating to improve the quality of the IEM curricula. We suggest a deep reform of the professional curriculum system, enriching curricular. Future studies can approach skills and competences developed towards CE what facilitate a redesign of courses.

Excessive and often compulsive consumption has given the textile–fashion industry the reputation of being one of the industries causing the most pollution in today’s world. For this reason, there is a necessity for a transition from a linear to a circular approach in the textile–fashion industry. However, this is not an easy task, especially when considering the investments that must be made to put a circular economy structure into practice. In this sense, the transition to a circular economy in the textile–fashion industry presents a unique opportunity for businesses to attract investments to support this transition by leveraging creativity and innovation to reduce waste, minimize resource consumption, and increase the longevity of products and materials. Therefore, this study sets out to develop a multicriteria decision support model to measure the attractiveness of businesses to receive investments that aim at aiding the transition to the circular economy. The model uses the “play card” from Simos’ procedure and the Normalize software that provide a comprehensive, consistent, and transparent approach to decision making, which can help investors to evaluate the attractiveness of investment opportunities and identify businesses that have the potential for long-term success in the circular economy. Hence, catalyzing and obstructing factors of the circular economy discussed in the literature were selected to underpin the analysis model and to draw up robust investment recommendations to the investors. In addition to the scientific contributions of the model, indications are also provided to the private sector, public policy makers, and society on how sustainability can be driven by the circular economy.

Bayes' Theorem (BT) is treated in probability theory and statistics. The BT shows how to change the probabilities a priori in view of new evidence, to obtain probabilities a posteriori. With the Bayesian interpretation of probability, the BT is expressed as the probability of an event (or the degree of belief in the occurrence of an event) should be changed, after considering evidence about the occurrence of that event. Bayesian inference is fundamental to Bayesian statistics. An example of practical application of this theorem in Health Systems is to consider the existence of false positives and false negatives in diagnoses. At the Academy, the theme of BT is exposed almost exclusively in its analytical form. With this article, the authors intend to contribute to clarify the logic behind this theorem, and get students better understanding of its important fields of application, using three methods: the classic analytical (Bayesian inference), the frequentist (frequency inference) and the numerical simulation of Monte-Carlo. Thus, it intends to explain BT on a practical and friendly way that provides understanding to students avoiding memorizing the formulas. We provide a spreadsheet that is accessible to any professor. Moreover, we highlight the methodology could be extended to other topics.

Resumo: A gestão de estoque é um tema bastante relevante para grandes organizações, porém ainda pouco adotado pelas pequenas empresas.É importante enfatizar que no atual contexto de competitividade, as empresas mais preparadas e organizadas conseguem se manter no mercado, principalmente no que se diz respeito às empresas de pouco capital de giro disponível.Diante desse contexto, esta pesquisa teve o propósito identificar como estão estruturados os processos logísticos na estocagem de uma empresa familiar na cidade de Santa Maria.Para a coleta de dados, foi realizada uma entrevista com o proprietário da empresa a fim de identificar a aplicação de gestão de estoque e as dificuldades para utilizá-

This article describes how to reach an item's threshold, or in other words, the limit time for it to be retrieved from stock and sold for a different use, as well as the remaining foreseen period for this situation to occur. Once a minimum length, or weight, is reached, left quantities are more difficult to sell, as demand often exceeds the remaining parts or leftovers. The number of unfulfilled orders increases, as time goes by, until it becomes further cost effective to dispose the leftover and sell it for a lower price and alternative use. A Monte Carlo simulation model was built in order to consider the randomness of future transactions and quantifying consequences providing this way a simple and effective decision-making framework.

Resilience in strategic perspective is related to a continuous organizational development, anticipating and adjusting to environment changes, fostering organizations with more capacity to bounce back from disturbance and thrive. This paper attempts to fill a gap in literature identifying critical factors that promote Strategic Resilience. First, the Strategic Resilience concept is reviewed using Contingency Theory and Organizational Development as theoretical lens. From this theoretical study was derived a set of 11 promoting factors Strategic Resilience. In a second stage, academics and experts in management field were consulted about the factors relevancy. The Delphi technique was used to guarantee a consensus of ideas from those specialists, allowing the topic discussion, but assuring anonymity. The results suggests the existence of 10 promoting Strategic Resilience factors, among them "Leadership" and "Capacity of change" achieved total unanimity among the experts, but "Robust strategy" and "Organizational structure" achieved the smallest consensus. This paper contributes to theory building by proposing factors that help organizations in strategic level to get preparedness, allowing the alignment of strategies, responding a crises situation and succeed.

The formulation of organizational strategy earns prominence as a tool since what is done through repetition and social acceptance is practicing strategy or strategizing. Thus, organizational strategy is a situated activity, socially constructed by individuals’ interacting, connected with the context in which it happens. In this context, Whittington (2006) points out the importance of third consultants or partners in the process of setting up the strategy by restructuring, transferring, or introducing new practices. Given this, this qualitative study aims to analyze the role of the consultant in the formation of organizational strategy, based on studies of strategy as practice. Results show the process of strategy consulting cannot be seen as applying a pre-established methodology, but should help the clients reflect on their practice, so that they, independently, could become able to diagnose and solve their own problems. To this end, the consultant needs to study the experiences of professionals and understand the actions that constitute reality in making strategy for the process of formulating, implementing and communicating. The consultant should develop several strategic activities, organizational contexts legitimized by extra or intra-organizational, for the professionals of the contracting organization to reflect on their practice and adapt while exploiting their diversity.
