Haute cuisine is emblematic in the world of tourism and is of fundamental importance in the economic and social life in most countries worldwide. Haute cuisine gastronomic experiences play with the senses, involving the diner, thus generating a unique experience for the customer. This empirical study aims to analyze the influence on the consumer of the characteristic stimuli of a high-level gastronomic experience in a restaurant with two Michelin stars. Using neuromarketing biometrics, combined with a qualitative research technique, the objective of this research was to determine the emotional impact of the presentation and tasting of dishes compared to wines and to draw conclusions about each variable in the general experience. The results indicate that the dishes have a greater influence on the level of interest than the wines, and both have a different emotional impact at different moments of the experience due to its duration.

Manufacturing engineering is responsible for the design, development and improvement of production systems that convert raw materials into finished products. Each product is designed to be sold to numerous potential consumers, so the importance of the stimuli surrounding the product in packaging, and at the point of sale, cannot be underestimated. The environmental, social, and ethical commitments of industrial design (and their implications in manufacturing) are establishing universal principles in a common effort to foster a more harmonious and sustainable society. This work aims to analyse, through eye tracking biometric techniques, the level of saturation of information generated by the concentration of stimuli in packaging and the retail channel, possibly creating a lower level of attention towards the product itself. This research confirms that every product associated with a manufacturing process seeks to respond to a need, so the associated responsibility is significant. This would suggest that designers incorporate knowledge from multiple fields, including marketing strategies, design, research and development, basic knowledge related to production, integration management and communication skills. More than 50% of consumer attention is dedicated to other elements/items that accompany the product, so it is important to consider this in the design phase. The results can be used to improve efficiency in both generating product attention, and stimulus design for the purchasing process.

Disposition Decision (DD) consists of deciding how to treat a recovered product, and it is one of the most important decisions in reverse logistics. Any of the selected disposition alternatives will have a significant impact on the enterprise sustainability. However, the most sustainable alternative may not be an alternative to make circular economy (CE) possible. In these cases, if the company wishes to adopt a CE strategy, it will have to switch from the most sustainable alternative to a less sustainable one that CE allows. Then, how much should be sacrificed for each sustainability dimension to make CE possible? This paper proposes a methodology for quantitatively comparing the most sustainable disposition alternative and the most sustainable CE alternative. This comparison allows small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to know how exactly all dimensions increase or decrease when selecting the most sustainable CE disposition alternative and to, therefore, assess the interest of adopting a CE policy. The proposed methodology is applied to a used tire recovery company. The results of this example show that the CE alternative offers a better environmental result but presents worst economic and social results. This example can be used as a guide for future applications other SMEs.

Reverse logistics (RL) has experienced significant growth in recent years due to legislation that favors the reduction of environmental impact and the prolongation of product life. These laws pursue environment conservation through actions that favor the reuse of materials. The increase in the severity of this type of legislation, as well as the exponential growth in e-commerce sales, has meant that many companies integrate RL processes into their supply chain (SC). These actions have converted the corresponding activities to RL management in key aspects for the competitiveness of businesses. Once the RL process is initiated, one of the key decisions is to determine what is done with each product. This paper proposes a study of the causes that activate the RL process and an analysis of the different treatment options, with the intention of relating both aspects through a process of standardized decision-making, which allows the decision-maker to adopt the best choice regarding the treatment to be chosen.

Purpose: The increase in social awareness, politics and environmental regulation, the scarcity of raw materials and the desired “green” image, are some of the reasons that lead companies to decide for implement processes of Reverse Logistics (RL). At the time when incorporate new RL processes as key business processes, new and important decisions need to be made. Identification and knowledge of these decisions, including the information available and the implications for the company or supply chain, will be fundamental for decision-makers to achieve the best results. In the present work, the main types of RL decisions are identified.Design/methodology/approach: This paper is based on the analysis of mathematical models designed as tools to aid decision making in the field of RL. Once the types of interest work to be analyzed are defined, those studies that really deal about the object of study are searched and analyzed. The decision variables that are taken at work are identified and grouped according to the type of decision and, finally, are showed the main types of decisions used in mathematical models developed in the field of RL. Findings: The principal conclusion of the research is that the most commonly addressed decisions with mathematical models in the field of RL are those related to the network’s configuration, followed by tactical/operative decisions such as the selections of product’s treatments to realize and the policy of returns or prices, among other decisions.Originality/value: The identification of the main decisions types of the reverse logistics will allow the managers of these processes to know and understand them better, while offer an integrated vision of them, favoring the achievement of better results.

An interesting possibility for the differentiation of the industrial activity of enterprises is to evolve from the production of goods to the provision of systemic solutions consisting of product-service systems (PSS). This change can mean the creation of a collaborative network and reveals significant implications at strategic and operational levels. In this context, and from an operational perspective, a conceptual framework has been developed to facilitate the identification, classification and study of the implications in business processes of using the PSS concept. The conceptual framework proposed allows identifying, classifying and determining implications in business processes when a PPS is going to be marketed commercially in a collaborative environment.

In recent years, the creation of supply chains (SCs) and selling networks (SNs) has offered firms new business opportunities based on collaboration and cooperation. One of these opportunities consists in a better response to dynamic market needs by marketing products/services packages (PS-Ps) with greater added value for the client. The aim of this work is to define a conceptual framework to support the characterization, design, and/or management of one of the key processes in client satisfaction and operational efficiency: the order promising process (OPP) in the context of collaborative selling network (CSN), which markets PS-Ps. To attain this objective, a research method based initially on the search for studies was followed to help define a conceptual framework for OPP characterization, and also the elements and structure it should have. On the basis of this initial search, a structure for a conceptual framework for the characterization of the OPP is proposed and specific studies that assist in determining and defining the contents of such a conceptual framework are analyzed. With the proposed conceptual framework, the members of a CSN can easily and systematically identify and define all the aspects that influence the OPP in a collaborative context, and may design the process in such a way that client satisfaction and SN efficiency are maximized. Furthermore, the framework structure and contents may be useful to analyze existing literature from a scientific point of view, thus enabling the identification of future lines of research.
