Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the relationship between the frequency of publication on food supply chain (FSC) traceability and the occurrence of foodborne diseases outbreaks. Design/methodology/approach A systematic review of the literature was carried out to locate the main articles published in the literature, followed by a content analysis in order to list the main food traceability technologies and their evolutions. Finally, a Spearman’s ρ correlation analysis between the frequency of publications on FSC traceability and the annual occurrence of foodborne outbreaks in the five largest food exporting countries in the world was performed. Findings In these analyses, the tools of radiofrequency, deoxyribonucleic acid, wireless sensor network, hazard analysis and critical control points and Internet of Things are the most researched technologies, and they are relevant in the evolution of traceability in the FSC. With correlation coefficients above 0.700 at 0.01 significance levels, this evolution of food traceability technologies has been one of the factors reducing the number of food outbreaks in the USA and Germany, countries with greater development of the health system and food control. Originality/value This paper provides an evaluation of the food traceability technologies and the effects of their evolutions in the occurrence of food outbreaks. This may help in the proposal of public policies related to food and outbreak control.

With the evolution of Industry 4.0, some problems related to inefficient digitalization become clearer in organizations. To minimize these problems, implementation of the lean philosophy is needed in the digital environment. However, before Lean can start to solve the digitalization problems, there is a need to digitalize its tools so that they can comprehend the Industry 4.0 dynamics and become more effective. The aim of this study is to contribute to the theoretical development of Lean tools in the context of Industry 4.0, promoting directions for the industrial sector from the evolution, difficulties, benefits, implementation and trends of Lean 4.0 tools. To achieve this objective, this study performs a systematic literature review and content analysis of 53 papers from 35 journals. The main results of the research show: (i) the characterization of the Lean 4.0 tools; (ii) the evolution of the Lean tools after the integration with digital technologies; (iii) the main trends of Lean 4.0; (iv) the proposal of a Lean 4.0 theoretical framework. From these results, this paper seeks to promote insights for studies in the area of Lean 4.0, as well as for companies to implement and use the Lean 4.0 tools for better improvement in their digital processes and avoid the digital waste.

Resumo:A humanidade está vivenciando a 4ª Revolução Industrial, conhecida como Indústria 4.0, que tem transformado a forma como as empresas funcionam por meio das tecnologias digitais. Uma das atividades que tem sentido o impacto das tecnologias digitais e que é fundamental para as empresas lidarem com rápidas mudanças, é a gestão de projetos. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise qualitativa da produção acadêmica sobre a Gestão de Projetos na Era Digital. Como metodologia foi feita uma revisão sistemática da literatura com base no método PRISMA, nas bases de dados Scopus e Web of Science. Obteve-se um portfólio de 41 artigos em que se analisou o ano de maior ocorrência de publicações, journals que publicaram, autores e países de afiliação dos autores. Foi feita também uma análise qualitativa baseada no software NVIVO 12, com a qual foram identificadas as seguintes principais temáticas abordadas nos artigos: project, management, process, technology, digital. Concluiu-se que o estado atual do direcionamento da gestão de projeto na era digital ainda está em processo de crescimento e exploração e os gestores ainda precisam de experiência para alcançar todo potencial da era digital.
