A new roadmap for an age-inclusive workforce management practice and an international policies comparison.

Background: Worldwide, the worker population age is growing at an increasing rate. Consequently, government institutions and companies are being tasked to find new ways to address age-related workforce management challenges and opportunities. The development of age-friendly working environments to enhance ageing workforce inclusion and diversity has become a current management and national policy imperative.

Increasing supply chain resilience through efficient redundancy allocation: a risk-averse mathematical model.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty in all areas of life, including supply chains (SCs). This paper presents a new risk-averse mixed-integer nonlinear problem mathematical model for the design and planning of a two-echelon resilient SC network. Disruption events, which can partially or completely reduce the available capacity, are included in the model.

Door-to-door waste collection: Analysis and recommendations for improving ergonomics in an Italian case study.

In the last decade, door-to-door waste collection methods have been largely applied by several municipalities in Italy, with the main purpose to achieve higher rates of sorted waste. This approach requires waste collectors to handle a high number of small waste containers during their work-shift, especially in urban areas and historic city centres. Workers may experience ergonomic issues during door-to-door waste collection, due to the characteristics of the waste containers, the waste collection equipment, the work organization and citizens' behaviour.
