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

Artificial Intelligence–Enabled Production Systems: Empirical Evidence, Implementation Pipelines, and Industrial Applications
Deadline 2027-06-30Taylor & FrancisIndexed (Active)ABS/AJG 3ABDC A
Journal: Production Planning & Control
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly moving from a standalone “analytics tool” to an operational capability that reshapes how production systems are planned, controlled, and improved in real time. In production contexts, AI can be understood as digital technologies performing tasks and decisions traditionally associated with human intelligence (Pomerol, 1997). Recent operations and production research highlights…
