Operation Optimization of Complex Industrial Processes
The operation optimization of complex industrial processes is a dynamic multi-objective optimization problem. These problems cover industrial areas such as steel, chemicals, and energy. Specifically, they address operation optimization problems under uncertain environments in production processes, with production metrics as the optimization objectives and controllable variables as the decision variables. They consider changing factors in production processes, operational metrics, and constraints on production metrics, establishing dynamic models for solving these problems. Unlike static models, these objectives and constraints change over time, similar to how the Pareto set (PS) and Pareto front (PF) in dynamic multi-objective optimization problems (DMOPs) can change over time.

Product–Service System’s Rebound Effect
A product–service system (PSS) is a concept concerning sustainability, as it offers the opportunity to decouple economic success from material consumption, thereby reducing the environmental impact of economic activities. However, researchers have identified significant barriers frequently impeding sustainability potential, which are called rebound effects.

Aircraft Boarding Strategies
The pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) has been a source of concern for airlines regarding safe flight environments. The main reason is that infected people may experience no symptoms. Nevertheless, they may have high viral loads and spread the disease. To ensure the safety of passengers concerning virus propagation, such as COVID-19, and keep the turnaround time at low levels, airlines should seek efficient aircraft boarding strategies in terms of both physical distancing and boarding times.

Game Theory Models to Support Manufacturing Systems
Game theory is a branch of mathematics that studies strategic decision making in situations where multiple agents interact with each other. It provides a framework for analyzing and predicting the behavior of players in competitive and cooperative scenarios. Game theory is a powerful tool for analyzing strategic decision making in various contexts.

Vehicle Routing Problem
With the expansion of online shopping, urban logistics must handle the increasing customer demand, making the last-mile delivery process more challenging. Furthermore, this expansion significantly contributes to companies’ distribution costs. To overcome some of the last-mile delivery costs, parcel lockers-as a delivery option-can be an alternative solution. Parcel lockers extend delivery options beyond home delivery, offering cost-saving benefits. However, incorporating multiple delivery options introduces additional complexity to the delivery management system.

Industry 5.0 Perspective on Feeding Production Lines
The emerging concept of Industry 5.0 is fostering companies to consider the three pillars of human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. How such a new perspective can be effectively declined and practically guide the introduction of new technologies is a challenge to be addressed.

BSC-Based Digital Transformation Strategy Selection and Sensitivity Analysis
The digital transformation era is ushering in a revolution in how businesses operate, communicate, and compete. This seismic shift is driven by technological advancements, changing customer expectations, and the need for greater efficiency and agility. In 1992, David Norton and Robert Kaplan introduced the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a component of a strategic project management framework. The Kaplan–Norton BSC model emphasizes four well-rounded perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth.
