Abstract The reason behind the creation of this article is that companies are currently facing big challenges when it comes to consolidating their relationship with their target audience due to the saturation of traditional marketing channels. Metaverse can offer innovative opportunities when it comes to engaging in a more immersive and interactive way. However, there is still little information on the use of M...
The importance of ergonomics in the workplace of organizations resulting from changes in the scenario of production of goods and services in recent decades has brought great challenges for them, in reconciling productivity and workers’ well-being. This article is the result of research carried out in a company that produces metallic parts for automobiles. This research included an ergonomic study of manual hand...
Lean Thinking is a well-known management philosophy that increases productivity and reduces cost by eliminating waste. To achieve this, it uses all suitable available tools. Simulation has been widely used to design and/or diagnose production systems and to propose effective better alternatives. In addition, Ergonomics approaches have also been applied to improve work conditions. The project described in this a...
When developed countries invest in developing countries there is often a trade-off between economic growth and environmental quality, but is this inevitable? Previous studies have concluded that one consequence of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is the transfer of polluting industries. However, there has been insufficient analysis of the pollutant consequence of this investment, as this may arise from the lack ...
