“…Thus, the present work can be classified as exploratory-descriptive: exploratory, due to have the goal of knowledge through selection and analysis of scientific papers published in academic journals obeying the criteria stipulated by the authors; descriptive, presenting as a result discussion of articles that make up the bibliographic portfolio through bibliometric analysis, semantic and content (Loos et al 2016;Silva and Menezes 2005). In order to complement the studies relating to the theme, was also held a technological prospection.…”

“…This consists the examination of primary and secondary sources in order to get up, select, organize and analyze what has already been produced on particular subject which was taken over as a topic of scientific research, for the purpose of define and solve problems already known and explore new areas in which problems have not been consolidated, reaching innovative conclusions (Fachin 2006;Marconi and Lakatos 2010;Ruiz 2006). The data collected were both primary and secondary in nature, and were characterized by the primary framework established by the authors during the selection of the studies and secondary were chosen from the bibliographies comprised the bibliographic portfolio (Loos et al 2016).…”

Interactions among stakeholders in the processes of city logistics: a systematic review of the literature

The aim of this article is to present a systematic review of the literature on urban logistics and its stakeholders and identify future research directions. In order to discuss the main contributions and trends of this theme, a combination of bibliometric analysis techniques, semantic and content and a technological prospection were performed. Through the evaluation of a sample group of seventy one articles, it was possible to trace paths and understand content approaches, identifying advantages, limitations and conditions for the good development of city logistics and its agents. Based on these findings, the low evidence of how effectively each of the stakeholders influencing the activities of city logistics stands out, since your heterogeneity and conflict of interest are singled out as the cause of the difficulty of this deployment. It is important to note that from the technological prospection was possible to identify the state of innovation on the world stage in the area studied.

“…In internal logistics, the most relevant aspects of HFs are postures and ergonomics (Lee et al, 2016, p. 22016;Loos et al, 2016), which can present health-related risks due to uncomfortable layouts and excessive fatigue (Calzavara et al, 2017;Rossi et al, 2013). In this field, the literature mainly addressed HF in warehouse operations (Dewa et al, 2017).…”

The spread of the Industry 4.0 paradigm introduced an increasing number of technological innovations into companies to improve logistics processes. During a transition to Logistics 4.0, it is necessary to consider all the issues that affect logistics, among which human factors (HF) are considered to be the most important. On the basis of the existing scientific literature, this article aimed to identify the relationships between 4.0 technologies implementation and HF concerning the evolution of human activities towards different hypothetical future scenarios (i.e., no changes, work replaced, or work assisted), analysing in detail the HF affected by 4.0 technologies. These relationships, which were summarised in a matrix, were also tested through a single longitudinal case study. The research showed that technology tends to replace logistics operators, not only for dangerous physical tasks but also for cognitive tasks that are stressful and repetitive. Moreover, for some tasks in which many different HF are involved, the evolution is towards operator assistance, rather than replacement.

“…Previous works have already investigated the existing literature regarding human factors in the industrial context. Loos, Merino, and Rodriguez (2016) presented the state of the art regarding ergonomics in the logistics and supply chain domains. Otto and Battaïa (2017) particularly focused on physical ergonomic risks and musculoskeletal disorder risks, providing an overview of the existing optimisation approaches for assembly line balancing and scheduling.…”

The effects of workforce differences on manufacturing systems have attracted the attention of a wide range of researchers in recent years. The differences between workers in terms of skills, age, gender and anthropometric measures have a large impact on production system performance. In this study, the workforce differences factors in production system design and modelling were investigated, with the aim of understanding how the differences between workers could influence a production system and how they had been considered in previous studies. The papers selected from the Scopus database were categorised based on whether how human factors are incorporated into manufacturing system optimisation and design approaches is discussed therein or is not. To find relevant papers, two sets of keywords were defined: (1) keywords relating to the differences between workers and (2) keywords relating to the kind of problem under study. Furthermore, the investigated papers helped highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the existing literature and derive a discussion on the possible future research steps.
