This study presents a Machine Learning (ML) framework for an Ahead-of-Time (AoT) prediction of production halts and defects in particleboard manufacturing that uses only pre-production input variables. The proposed approach incorporates both Single-Task Learning (STL) and Multi-Task Learning...

This paper presents an advanced human-centric circular supply chain optimization framework that integrates economic, environmental, and behavioral dimensions into a unified multi-objective model. By jointly optimizing selling price, product quality, warranty duration, and production cycle time,...

This study presents a comprehensive framework for optimizing the Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) with variable screening rates under two distinct inspection scenarios: Sufficient-Inspection-Rate (IRS) and Insufficient-Inspection-Rate (IRI). In the IRS scenario, the production system employs a...

Influenza epidemics occur every winter with high impact on disease burden, hospitalisations and excess mortality in the countries of Europe. To understand the characteristics of circulating influenza viruses during seasonal epidemics, virological influenza surveillance is performed, and detected...

The objective of this Peer Learning Activity (PLA) was to explore successful approaches to engaging stakeholders and to quality assurance for delivering on the potential of micro-credentials. Developments from the Netherlands (the virtual host country), Italy and Slovakia were presented and some...

These guidelines support adherence to the European Union (EU) Regulation on standards of quality and safety for substances of human origin (SoHO) intended for human application. They provide evidence-based recommendations for assessing SoHO donors within the EU and European Economic Area (EEA)...

The 2025 Proficiency Testing (PT) Scheme for PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ measurements, organized by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the AQUILA Network, assessed the performance of 22 European laboratories in measuring particulate matter (PM) concentrations, following the EU Ambient Air Quality...

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are widely recognised as strategic enablers of digital transformation, integrating core business functions and supporting operational efficiency. Quality Management (QM) is a pivotal component of their curriculum, critical in ensuring compliance,...

In the current unpredictable business landscape, organisational resilience is essential for firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to navigate crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the typically limited resources of SMEs, this study sheds light on how...
