From Vision to Practice: Realizing Net-Zero Manufacturing Through Circular Economy and Smart Production
Deadline 2026-09-30Taylor & FrancisIndexed (Active)ABS/AJG 3ABDC A
Journal: International Journal of Production Research
The global transition to net zero manufacturing is becoming increasingly urgent as industries face growing pressure from regulatory requirements, sustainability goals, and economic challenges (Vieira et al., 2021). The European Union’s Net Zero Industry Act has set ambitious targets to accelerate the adoption of clean technologies, aiming to ensure that at least 40 percent of the EU’s annual deployment needs for str…
Innovations in Production Planning: Emerging Problems and Modern Solution Paradigms

Journal: International Journal of Production Research
Production planning has historically been a central pillar of industrial engineering and operations management. Since the mid-20th century, the field has developed a rich body of classical problems and models, such as lot sizing, job shop and flow shop scheduling, capacity planning, assembly line balancing, material requirements planning (MRP), and aggregate production planning (Pinedo, 2016; Battaïa and Dolgui, 201…
The Agentic Supply Chain: Entering a new era in AI in Supply Chain Management
Deadline 2026-09-30Taylor & FrancisIndexed (Active)ABS/AJG 3ABDC A
Journal: International Journal of Production Research
Recent advances in Agentic Large Language Models (LLMs) are reshaping the discourse on how autonomous decision systems might operate in complex environments such as supply chains. The motivation for the special issue is to facilitate rigorous research in the transformative potential of agentic technology for Supply Chain Management (SCM). A key objective is to foster collaboration and unlock synergies by merging div…
