- Several authors have been devoted their research projects to understand and map research topics and themes studied in the field of Industrial Engineering (IE), particularly those related to Operations Management (OM), aiming to contribute to the field scope delimitation, identifying for that purpose its main authors and their contribution for theory and practice. This study seeks to frame this knowledge regarding to sustainability research. Bibliometrics and statistics analysis were performed using information collected from 500 selected papers in nine international databases related to OM field, based on the keywords "Sustainability" and "Operations Management". Results point to a central set of nineteen authors whose work is strongly related to sustainability issues. All information are systematized generating descriptive statistics, network graphs and multivariate matrices for research topics, methodologies, outlets, main academic and normative references. Thus, this paper contributes with an overview of trends and gaps for future research in sustainability concerning operations management field.

Sustainable operations strategy : theoretical frameworks evolution
- 2012
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Companies are developing new models for assessing sustainability of their operations nets. They are engaging in an evolutionary trajectory that over time leads them to different levels of sustainability maturity. This paper proposes a set of maturity-based recommendations that could be used for reviewing operations strategy. Recommendations are developed based on the following premises: there is an evolutionary development of operations management models regarding sustainable issues; these models have been consolidated in the last ten years; there are evidences in literature that could be used to trace models evolution.

- A crucial requirement in the development of liquid-metal spallation neutron target is knowledge of the composition and amount of volatile radionuclides that are released from the target during operation. It is also important to know the total amount produced, which could be released if there was an accident. One type is the lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) target where different radionuclides can be produced following interaction with a high-energy proton beam, notably noble gases (Ar, Kr, Xe isotopes) and other relative volatile isotopes such as Hg and At. The results of an irradiation experiment performed at ISOLDE on a LBE target are compared with predictions from the MCNPX code using the latest developments on the Liege Intranuclear Cascade model (INCL4.6) and the CEM03 model. The calculations are able to reproduce the mass distribution of the radioisotopes produced, including the At production, where there is a significant contribution from secondary reactions. Subsequently, a post-irradiation examination of the irradiated target was performed. Investigations of both the tantalum target structure, in particular the beam window, and the lead-bismuth eutectic were performed using several experimental techniques. No sign of severe irradiation damage, previously observed in other ISOLDE targets, was found.
