Keynote Presentations
The presentations of the keynote speakers of ICPR 2022 are available below.
International Conference on Production Research – Americas
Sustainable Operations and Digitalization in SMEs in a Post-Pandemic Era: Challenges and Opportunities
The first version of the ICPR AMERICAS took place in November 2002 in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA. Since then, the event has had nine more editions. As a result, ICPR AMERICAS is consolidated as an important event in production research for the Americas Region, as a complementary calendar event to the International Conference on Production Research (ICPR).
The fundamental role of the Americas Region is the establishment of relationships among participants from research institutes, academia, and industry, as well as the introduction of early career researchers in disseminating the common research topics of the ICPR conferences.
SMEs predominate in the national economy of countries. However, they have capital restrictions, outdated facilities, and poor international market performance. Moreover, these organizations have regional difficulties with inadequate infrastructure and need greater integration with research, development, and innovation institutions and participation in business networks.
