Sustainability in Tequila Production
Tequila, one of Mexico's most emblematic products, has seen a steady growth in production and exports over the last 25 years. Environmental sustainability in its production is becoming increasingly significant. This is due to consumers' growing awareness of the environment. Life cycle analysis of its industrial stage can be a useful tool to assess and improve the sustainability of its production. Therefore, this research seeks to obtain an enviro…
Environmental knowledge to create environmental attitudes generation toward solar energy purchase
This study reports a structural equation model (SEM) relating environmental knowledge, environmental concerns, perceived benefits, behavioral control, and environmental attitudes towards solar energy (SE) through seven hypotheses, where environmental knowledge is the independent variable and environmental attitudes are the dependent variable. Direct effects were used to validate the hypotheses using information from 511 responses obtained from Ma…
Development and sustainability challenges in the maquiladora industry
VSM is a precursor of TPM and JIT in the manufacturing industry. • JIT and TPM encourage the implementation of social, environmental, and economic sustainability. Economic sustainability is accounted for by TPM and JIT at 41.9 %. • VSM, JIT, and TPM are obtained within five years of implementation. • 5S is reached at 100 % at 14 years of age and social sustainability at 15 years. The Mexican maquiladora industry faces high pressure to achieve sus…
Responsiveness supply chain in the Mexican Maquiladora Industry
Companies require an efficient supply chain (SC) to respond rapidly to market demand, necessitating collaboration with customers and suppliers and integrating advanced technologies in production processes; however, relationships among those variables remain under-explored. This study uses a structural equation model (SEM) to quantify the relationship between a Responsive Supply Chain Strategy (RSCS), Information Sharing with Customers (ISC), Coll…
Achieving strategic goals by continuous improvement and lean manufacturing implementation
Achieving behavioral intention to renewable energy through perceived costs and benefits and environmental concern
Explores RE adoption dynamics in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico using structural equation modeling. • Highlights the critical role of perceived costs in influencing RE adoption decisions. • Identifies environmental concerns as the most impactful on behavioral intentions. • Emphasizes the need for clear communication of RE benefits to enhance adoption. • Suggests policy implications for increasing RE uptake in developing countries. Due to the high pollutio…
Effect of environmental knowledge on pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors
This study examines the effects of environmental knowledge on pro-environmental attitudes and behavior by analyzing the relationship between general environmental knowledge (GEK), specific environmental knowledge (SEK), environmental attitudes (ENA), and public pro-environmental behavior (PPB) in two demographic groups: engineering students from universities and active engineers working in the maquiladora industry, both in Ciudad Juárez (Mexico).…
Sustainability in Agave tequilana weber farming
Tequila is a popular alcoholic beverage made from Agave tequilana weber. This study presents a cradle‐to‐gate life cycle assessment (LCA) of the farming process of A . tequilana weber used in tequila production. Real data obtained from plantations at different stages of growth and maturation were used to evaluate the environmental impacts of the four stages of the farming process: land preparation and planting, nutrition, weed and pest control, a…
Influence of Resilience on Burnout Syndrome of Faculty Professors
This research aims to describe the relationship between resilience and burnout facing COVID-19 pandemics. The sample was n = 831 lecturers and professors of a Mexican public university. This study is a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, explanatory, and ex post facto research using Structural Equations Modeling with latent variables under the partial least square's method technique. We used the CD-RISC-25 and SBI questionnaires to m…
Influence of Covid-19 Pandemic Uncertainty in Negative Emotional States and Resilience as Mediators against Suicide Ideation, Drug Addiction and Alcoholism
This research uses structural equation modeling to determine the influence of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic as an independent variable in the negative emotional states and resilience (as mediating variables) vs. drug addiction, alcoholism, and suicide ideation as dependent variables in 5557 students from a public state university in Northern Mexico. The five variables are related through eight hypotheses and tested using partial least …
Quantitative Models for Prediction of Cumulative Trauma Disorders Applied to the Maquiladora Industry
Temperature gradient changes on the surface of the skin or in the middle of the body are signs of a disease. The aim of this study is to develop quantitative models for the prediction of cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) arising from highly repetitive activities, considering risk factors, such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate (RR), and heart rate, to prevent injuries in manufacturing factory operators.…
Burnout Syndrome in Police Officers and Its Relationship with Physical and Leisure Activities
No previous studies in Mexico have been found that jointly analyze physical and leisure activities as variables related to mental health in police officers. This paper presents research on burnout in Mexican Police officers. The question it answers is: is there any association of burnout with physical and leisure activities and personal profile? A total of 276 police officers (87% men and 13% women) participated. To obtain information, the Spanis…
Relationship between Burnout and Body Mass Index in Senior and Middle Managers from the Mexican Manufacturing Industry
This research relates Burnout Syndrome (BS) with the Body Mass Index (BMI) among middle and senior managers of the Mexican manufacturing industry. Even though BS incidence is high in the Mexican industrial population, few systematic studies have explored BS and its relationship with other health problems, such as obesity. The goal of this research is to determine the relationship between BS and the BMI in employees with normal weight, overweight,…
Structural Model for the Effects of Environmental Elements on the Psychological Characteristics and Performance of the Employees of Manufacturing Systems
This paper analyzes the effects of environmental elements on the psychological characteristics and performance of employees in manufacturing systems using structural equation modeling. Increasing the comprehension of these effects may help optimize manufacturing systems regarding their employees' psychological characteristics and performance from a macroergonomic perspective. As the method, a new macroergonomic compatibility questionnaire (MCQ) w…
