Advancements in Systems Management and Engineering as Drivers for Organizational Competitiveness

Dear Colleagues,

In recent times, systems management and engineering have gained crucial importance in the search for long-lasting solutions to complex problems in the quest of boosting not only competitiveness, but also sustainability in organizations worldwide. This Special Issue focuses on the recent progress in systems management and engineering, highlighting their interaction with vital fields, such as health, transportation, processes to create goods or services, environment, among others.

Systems-based project management and systems engineering have become essential for designing and directing large-scale projects efficiently and effectively. Professionals can optimize resource allocation, reduce risk, and ensure project success by taking a holistic view of systems and considering their interconnections. This Special Issue explores advanced approaches and best practices in systems management and engineering, highlighting their applications in various areas.

Additionally, original research that explores how systems management and engineering can be applied to optimize healthcare delivery, improve patient outcomes, and address emerging health threats, thus promoting health equity and resilience, is of great interest. On the other hand, it is crucial to examine how integrating systems engineering principles and intelligent technologies can lead to more efficient, accessible, and environmentally friendly mobility solutions in transportation.

Finally, we are interested in original research that examines how systems thinking can inform decision making in environmental management, addressing challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution as a consequence of daily operations of traditional production systems used to create goods or services.

This Special Issue seeks to offer a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in systems management and engineering for sustainable development, with the aim of inspiring collaboration and innovation in the face of the multifaceted challenges of the 21st century.
