Due to crises (e.g., climate crisis, extinction of species, shortage of natural resources, human health crisis), customer requirements for conventionally produced products shift to more sustainably produced products, reducing and avoiding negative environmental and social impacts. Circular thinking in production systems offers new opportunities to meet these new customer expectations. However, it enlarges new challenges for production planning too. Research gaps exist in production planning approaches, considering all three sustainability aspects (economic, environmental, and social) simultaneously. This paper presents a concept of a fuzzy inference model (FIM) to assess the sustainability of production programs. The FIM concept is demonstrated and tested using a single case study considering lab production schedules. The model’s outcome indicates the most significant opportunities to improve production programs’ sustainability using experts’ knowledge.

“…For environmental aspects, since planning and control includes managing resources, the consumption of resources such as water, energy, and materials are relevant. Also, along with food waste, other wastes and pollution can be created during manufacturing such as greenhouse gas emissions, waste-water, or other non-food production waste including hazardous waste, food losses, and packaging material waste [18]. Social metrics that relate directly to PPC are more difficult to identify, but PPC utilizes human personnel, so job satisfaction is as an important aspect to consider [19].…”

This paper investigates the topics of data, sustainability, and production planning and control in food supply chains from the perspective of industrial food producers. To stay competitive in an industry with low profit margins, strong competition, and sustainability concerns, food producers need new solutions. The capture, digitization, and use of producer and downstream supply chain data enable opportunities for using data in new ways to address the existing challenges. This study proposes some principles for sustainable, data-driven production planning and control (PPC) such as capturing real-time data and tacit knowledge for use in PPC. It then investigates how these principles can impact the sustainability for food producers and the overall supply chain, by giving benefits such as reduced food waste, lower inventory levels, and reduced planning time and effort. Future research topics should address topics such as data availability, use of data in PPC, potential value of data, sustainability trade-offs, and the applications of digital technology in PPC.

“…Since then, sustainability has become of great interest in many fields, especially in production systems, because the scarcity of raw materials and environmental regulations are continuously increasing. This has made production planning one of the most important research topics to support the three sustainability pillars (3Ps) (i.e., environmental, economic, and social sustainability) [9] as most of the sustainability issues can be found through all production planning stages such as aggregate production planning, scheduling, etc. [10].…”

“…Moreover, production planning is connected to the product life cycle through process planning, product design, and recycling, and it is also connected with social aspects of employees and customers. Hence, many scholars have studied the production planning problems while considering the 3Ps of sustainability [9,10].…”

An Analysis of Research Trends in the Sustainability of Production Planning

Sustainability has become of great interest in many fields, especially in production systems due to the continual increase in the scarcity of raw materials and environmental awareness. Recent literature has given significant attention to considering the three sustainability pillars (i.e., environmental, economic, and social sustainability) in solving production planning problems. Therefore, the present study conducts a review of the literature on sustainable production planning to analyze the relationships among different production planning problems (e.g., scheduling, lot sizing, aggregate planning, etc.) and the three sustainability pillars. In addition, we analyze the identified studies based on the indicators that define each pillar. The results show that the literature most frequently addresses production scheduling problems while it lacks studies on aggregate production planning problems that consider the sustainability pillars. In addition, there is a growing trend towards obtaining integrated solutions of different planning problems, e.g., combining production planning problems with maintenance planning or energy planning. Additionally, around 45% of the identified studies considered the integration of the economic and the environmental pillars in different production planning problems. In addition, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are the most frequent sustainability indicators considered in the literature, while less attention has been given to social indicators. Another issue is the low number of studies that have considered all three sustainability pillars simultaneously. The finidings highlight the need for more future research towards holistic sustainable production planning approaches.
