Optimization of Operational Processes in Coffee Production: A Systematic and Bibliometric
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.25186/.v20i.2391Abstract
This bibliometric study analyzes and synthesizes the scientific literature on optimizing operational processes in coffee production. Using a systematic methodology based on SCOPUS database records (n=179), selected through refined Boolean logic and Bradford’s Law, the study integrates tools such as Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. Four core research questions guided the study: identification of key terms and authors, analysis of models and techniques, categorization of thematic areas, and assessment of optimization alternatives. Results reveal a multidisciplinary landscape encompassing technological, agronomic, and sustainability dimensions. The study offers a comprehensive state-of-the-art synthesis, highlighting knowledge gaps and proposing future research directions.
Key words: Optimization; operational processes; production; coffee.
