Sustainable operations management towards Industry 5.0

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has enabled a high development potential in the optimisation of production planning and control problems. This article is a preliminary analysis of the existing scientific literature on planning and management problems, specifically in the production, operations and scheduling areas. This review delves into sustainability concepts and perspectives towards Industry 5.0 (I5.0) that appear in the existing literature. A thematic analysis that focuses on four areas and a classification of the reviewed articles is presented. The four areas for the thematic analysis are: I4.0 tools, I5.0, lean manufacturing and optimisation. The classification is based on the following concepts: research methodology, modelling approach, lean approach and resolution approach, problem type and subtype, and I5.0 and sustainability integration into the literature. Finally, the main research gaps, challenges and trends for future research are identified.
