However, information on the concept's awareness, adoption readiness and challenges in developing economies is still scanty. The purpose of the study is to appraise awareness, adoption readiness and challenges of Construction 4.0...

To predict the effectiveness of building evacuations is a very difficult task in the general case. In a previous work, the historical results of 47 evacuation drills in 15 different university buildings, both academic and residential, involving more than 19 000 persons, was analyzed, and a method based on dimensional analysis and statistical regres...

Uncertainty is inherent in the supply chains nature. In the context of various uncertainties, risk management plays a crucial role in effective supply chain management. The uncertainty involved in the risk assessment process can be divided into two types: random uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. The fuzzy theory has been applied to address unc...

Traditionally, industries followed a linear process of resources consumption: taking raw materials from nature, transforming them into products, and selling them to consumers (who discarded them when they were no longer useful). Nowadays, due to the sustainable development concerns, there is an increasing awareness on the society for reuse, repair,...

Many works highlight the importance and added value of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in companies, as well as the role of Knowledge Management (KM) for their revitalization, but even more important is to ensure that all efforts and resources are aligned with the organization’s strategic objectives (Balanced Scorecard, BSC). The aim of this...

The interdependent nature of supply chain elements and events requires risk systems must be assessed as an interrelated framework to optimize their management and integrate effectively with other decision-making tools in uncertain environments. This research shows a synthesis and analysis of the main qualitative/quantitative methods that have been...

The nature of supply chains presents a variety of issues related to uncertainties. Under various uncertainties, risk management plays a crucial role in an effective supply chain decision-making. The uncertainty involved in the risk assessment process can be divided into two types: random uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Fuzzy theory has been...

Risk management is one of the main research topics in the literature on Operations Management and Supply Chain Management (SCM)(Fahimnia, et al., 2015). The interdependence of SC elements and events requires that risk systems must be assessed as an interrelated framework to optimise their management and integrate with other decision-making systems...

This paper introduces the Lean School, a Learning Factory, along with a “game” of physical simulation that is developed in it. All this is focused on teaching-learning, both of students and professionals, of the potential advantages offered by the implementation of the Lean Production in the organizations. The participants gain a practical experien...

In recent years, research into risk management (RM) (Flage, et al., 2014; Aven, 2015; Qazi et al., 2017) has highlighted the need for further action to highlight the uncertainties and subjectivity of this discipline, specifically in Supply Chain Management (SCM). This research aims to propose a holistic and multi‐objective framework focusing on RM...

The increase in global supply chains is associated with increased interconnection between suppliers and manufacturers, leading to greater dependence between supply chain companies and a greater level of complexity. So, in spite of its great benefits, it makes them more vulnerable and with higher levels of risk. These risks must therefore be adequat...

El incremento de las cadenas de suministro globales, a pesar de sus grandes beneficios, las convierte en más vulnerables y con mayores niveles de riesgo.

In order for a factory to carry out its production there must be some capital goods functioning in the best possible conditions so as to guarantee the quality of its products and their delivery timing, etc. Reliability is the technique used to study the availability of the different resources.

Reliability is a main aspect in a lot of products and systems, and has been widely studied last years. This paper shows the capacity of fuzzy logic to evaluate the reliability of systems that are bad-defined, and how it has been applied by different hypothesis (probist, profust, posbist and posfust systems) to a wide range of applications: diagnost...

A socio-economic impact assessment examines how a proposed development will change the lives of current and future residents of a community. The impact assessment provides estimates of expected changes in demographics, housing, public services, and so on. Together, these components of the assessment provide a foundation on which decisions about whe...

When there are activities in the nodes, it is easy to draw the graph of the network. But when there are activities in the arcs, we generally need dummy activities to keep the relations between activities. In this paper we propose a simple and didactic algorithm with a small number of nodes where an intuitive algorithm is needed. There are four diff...
