Improvement of Concrete Construction Work Performance Through Employment of Lean Logistics Principles by Zuzana Strukova, Maria Kozlovska, Alena Tazikova

“…The goal of the research is to evaluate the intensity of the application of logistics and its elements in the implementation of construction and to point out the importance of the involvement of lean production methods and thus also lean logistics in the construction industry. Based on this study results from construction projects in Slovakia and also based on the experience of the authors of this work, it can be concluded that the use of logistic management in the supply of the main construction material in the production of monolithic concrete structures is poor, and this causes a lot of unnecessary waste, having an adverse effect not only on the construction time, but also on the management of individual construction resources. …”

Scientometric Analysis of Human Error Research and Human Reliability in Industries (1980-2022) by Hamed Yarmohammadi, Mehdi Jahangiri, Moslem Ali Mohammadloo, Mojtaba Kamalinia

“…VOSviewer and Bibliometrix, an R package, were used to perform the scientometric analysis of these articles.Results: Industrial human error research is generally related to marine safety and accidents, the aviation industry, nuclear power plants, oil and petrochemical industries, occupational accident analysis, occupational fatigue, ergonomic issues, safety analysis of process systems, and the construction industry. Concepts such as “Human error,” “Human reliability analysis,” and “Human reliability” (with frequencies of 196, 113, and 64, respectively) were identified as the most frequently used keywords in the field of human error research.Conclusion: The co-occurrence map of keywords in human error reveals that most studies focus on diagnosis and assessment rather than preventing human errors. …”
