IPL/2021/ReEdIA; Collaborative networks in the logistics sector have proven to be a solution that both meets environmental footprint reduction goals and addresses the impact of rising fuel prices on logistics companies, especially for small-and medium-sized enterprises. Despite these benefits, these collaborative networks have not received the desired amount of participation due to reputational risk. This paper...
Nowadays-and due to an increasingly competitive world-organizations need to collaborate in an open innovation context to be efficient and effective by achieving high levels of innovation with their products and services. However, the existing resources-as well as the innovation achieved from the diversity of partners involved-brings challenges to the management; in particularly with risk management. To fulfill ...
Project risk management is essential to managers' decision making and business success, because it allows the manager to identify, analyse and decide on the most appropriate way to respond to different adversities that may arise during the development of new products, services, processes, projects, continuous improvement, etc. This requires a mind-set that risks have a major influence on the bottom line and use...
The search for perfection forces organizations to adopt new techniques and approaches, focused on the systematic creation of innovative solutions that facilitate the processes of continuous improvement. In view of this context, there was an opportunity to study the implementation of the Lean philosophy in the production line, at a processed food organization.

The SS methodology is being widely used as a quality management model. Focusing on "Zero Defects" production, the tool that support DNP used in the planning phases, that precede manufacturing is DFSS methodology, suitable for production processes with SS requirement. There is a contradictory question regarding the differences and complementarities between DFSS tool and the SS methodology: to conclude about what...
