The main goal of this study was to analyze the environmental profile of MDF panel manufacturing in the Brazilian industry in terms of energy, emissions and dependence on renewable sources. The study was conducted by using the methodology of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), specifically through the development of the first Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) of MDF in a Brazilian industry. The life cycle inventory and the production processes analysis were constructed using Umberto® v.5.6 software and following the ISO 14040 series. The study covers the life cycle of MDF production from gate-to-gate perspective, involving the on-site manufacturing system. The functional unit was defined in 1 m³ of MDF. About 76% of energy required to produce MDF is thermal (52.8% of thermal energy is required for the drying process of wood fiber). CO2 is a major emission during the MDF production, where natural gas contributes to 96.7% of total CO2 fossils. It was observed a low dependence of non-renewable source (19.2%) compared with the literature.

However, it was identified that in case the industry presents an overweight in nominal content of each package, which leads to considerable injury once the feedstock used in the production of butter (cream) is of great economic value.
<p><em>O objetivo desse artigo é realizar um mapeamento das publicações sobre o tema custos na engenharia de produção e, como consequência, identificar um portfólio bibliográfico das publicações na área. Para atender ao objetivo, fez-se uma análise bibliométrica nos dois principais periódicos brasileiros especializados na área de engenharia de produção (Produção – ISSN 0103-6513 e Gestão & Produção – ISSN 0104-530X). Após a busca, foram selecionados 43 artigos relevantes e 540 artigos de referências, que passaram a representar o portfólio bibliográfico. Na análise bibliométrica do portfólio bibliográfico evidencia-se: o autor mais citado “José Luis Duarte Ribeiro”; o artigo com maior reconhecimento científico "Competitividade e coordenação de sistemas agroindustriais: um ensaio conceitual" de Elizabeth M. M. Q. Farina com 130 citações; as palavras-chave mais presentes “custos de transação” e “custos”; o método de pesquisa mais usado é o “estudo de caso” (46% dos casos são únicos e 54% são múltiplos). Na análise das referências do portfólio bibliográfico destaca-se: os periódicos “Management Science”, “European Journal of Operational Research” e “International Journal of Production Economics”; o autor mais citado “Mohamad Y. Jaber”; em relação ao reconhecimento científico o artigo "Theory of the firm: Managerial behavior, agency costs and ownership structure” de Michael C. Jensen e William H. Meckling, com 44.083 citações. Tal estudo permitiu descobrir as características de publicações do campo e com isso visualizar a evolução científica, os principais autores, os periódicos mais relevantes, as palavras-chave mais utilizadas e características distintivas que integraram os estudos realizados. </em></p>
This article aims to build knowledge on the theme “green logistics” and “institutional pressures”, focused on identifying opportunities on its research topic. We used the ProKnow-C intervention instrument, resulting in the selection of 11 relevant articles that came to represent the bibliographic portfolio. Therefore, the bibliometric indicators based on the most prominent journals, the impact factor, the number of citations, the origin of the research centers, the research methods/tools, the most used terms and the subjects covered were used to analyze the articles selected. research in the form of networks. The results showed that the most prominent journal is the International Journal of Production Economics; the article with the largest number of citations (343 citations) is written by Sameer Kumar and Valora Putnam. In relation to the origin of the research centers there was a diversity of institutions of various nationalities, the USA being the country with the largest number of institutions, followed by United Kindon and Malaysia. As for the research methods, we have identified literature reviews, case studies, surveys, conceptual framework proposal and monitoring system development. In relation to the mapping and research networks, we highlight terms such as logistic, regulatory pressure, practice, driver, economic performance, institutional pressure, among other relevant terms. In this context, this information can “shed light” on interested parties and researchers on the subject in order to conceptualize, interpret and visualize their relevance, as well as the coverage networks and related researches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
